== Strategy #1 - Introduce a Featured Startup Company ==

One of the major issues uncovered during our land scape canvas was student engagement with innovation/ Entrepreneurship. We need to help show the general university population that innovation and Entrepreneurship is for everyone and it can help them in all different ways throughout their life. To help encourage more involvement by students and therefore improve innovation at UTS, we need better advertisement strategies. We believe the students will respond well to featured Entrepreneurs of the week or month. This way we can prove to current students that Entrepreneurship is something normal and the mind set can help them with their everyday lives.

 At the bottom of the advertisement there should be a QR code or website address, where students can find more information about all of the innovation programs offered by UTS. The website which lists them, should list them in stages, starting with small design thinking workshops already run at UTS to the hatchery plus. This way students will be more encouraged to take small steps and do a design thinking workshop. 

Another well documented engagement strategy is design thinking workshops. Perhaps we can hold weekly events at the university bar and teach the basics of design thinking. At the moment most students don’t even know what design thinking is, so they are unlikely to go to events at the hatchery. We can provide that basic knowledge, build their fundamentals and act as a gateway to further innovation/ Entrepreneurship studies and actions. 

== Strategy #2 - Entrepreneurship/Innovation Help Centre ==

UTS is already encouraging innovation and Entrepreneurship around campus. This is/will lead to the development of many student run start up companies. Student’s fees already go into the HELP centre, where students are able to get assistance for resumes and other job seeking actives. Maybe a small portion of that money can go into a Startup help centre, where anyone wanting to do a start up company can get some general advice e.g. setting up an ABN….

== Strategy #3 - Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. ==

During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that communication of existing innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities was lacking and potentially resulting in students not attending events or not gaining a proper understanding of the existing opportunities. As a result we would like to identify methods for improving the communication between innovation resources and students and help connect interested students with events and activities that can help them on their entrepreneurial journeys. Our current prototyping has found that QR codes while initially seaming like a fun and interesting way for students to interact is actually seen as a hindrance and may not be fully utilised as would be expected. We would like to trial more advertising and communication techniques such as an "innovation board" in a communal area of the university, "abstract links" that get students completing a challenge or game to gain access to a link to information or mass advertising drops using interesting mediums such as bouncy balls with links or slickers found all throughout the university. By increasing the awareness of students about the existing programs and opportunities both on campus and the surrounding community we hope to increase the innovation and entrepreneurship culture UTS.

== Strategy #4 ==

Examining the current ecosystem of our campus, it was clear that the university has recognise a need for students to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship. As a direct response to the demand. The university has introduced incubator-like programs for students and undergraduate courses to support students ongoing and new alike, in this area. There has been many successful programs and it has been well received by students of all disciplines.

However examining the bigger picture, it is clear that these programs overlap and no coherent community was formed between these programs and faculties. One of the problem space this strategy plans to address is the segregated but successful programs the university is producing. How can we conjugate these groups of highly talented people and their ideas to entwine a larger network and form stronger presence of innovation and entrepreneur at the university.

Following from this observation, the University Innovation Fellows plan to host a series of social events in the aim of joining the programs and communities. These social events are designed to cultivate conversations for students and staff members alike. It will be run regularly by students with creativity. Events such as interfaculty debates or startup fairs are a few among ways to get individuals involved.

Ultimate the aim of connecting current communities on campus and allowing new students to find ways to get involved. This strategy hopes to influence the success of other strategies being implemented at the University.

== Overview ==

The University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) was founded in 1988 and is located in NSW, Australia.  A modern focus and a drive for innovation has enabled UTS to quickly climb global rankings, currently ranked number one in ''Times Higher Education'' top 100 universities under 50. With an overall ranking of 21 worldwide for all universities founded in the last 50 years.

An industry focus with modern courses and state-of-the-art equipment has enabled its degrees and students continue to become more renounced and respected. UTS has shown a passion to continue this movement through it's 1 Billion dollar investment to fundamentally change the way that teaching, learning and research is delivered.

== Student Entrepreneurship ==

UTS is located in Ultimo which is the most heavily populated Start-Up area in Australia, Similar to Silion Valley in the USA. Leveraging upn this, UTS has become one of the most innovative and entrepreneurial campuses in Australia. There are various programs implemented by UTS to encourage student entrepreneurship including,

- The Hatchery, a 6 month extra curricular program, designed to give students the upper-hand in launching start-ups

- New Courses such as the Bachelor of Creative Intellegence & Innovation

- Innovation and Entrepreneurial Student Run Societies on Campus

- Hackathons & Competitions including Project Pitch and 3P Competition, designed to launch competitive businesses

Each of these programs are cross-disciplinary, with no limitations or restrictions to certain faculties, degree types or year levels. The culmination of each of these has enabled UTS to become an active player in the Australian Start-Up Community. Helping to grow and support the culture, values and start-ups in Australias start-up ecosystem.

== Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

Over the years, UTS has gradually implemented a range of innovative and entrepreneurial course work within all courses to help students gain an in-depth understanding of these concepts. UTS has also implemented faculty KPI's to ensure that this momentum contimues across all levels of the internal organisation.

UTS, has however, also taken this a step further, through the creation of courses such as,

- Bachelor of Creative Intellegence & Innovation,

- Bachelor of Technology & Innovation

- Master of Data Science & Innovation

- Masters of Business Adminstration in Entrepreneurship, and many others.

These courses are designed to help students prepare for an innovative and constantly changing career paths.

== University Opportunities ==

UTS has provided a huge range of different opportunities to help students grow and develop their passion for both Innovation and Entrepreneurship. These include,

Hackathon Weekends such as:

- Project Pitch

- 3P Competition

Entrepreneurial Based Student Societies Including,

- Australian Collabrotavive Entrepreneurial Society (ACES)

- BCII

Incubator Programs Such As:

- Hatchery Program

- Hatchery+ Program

== University - Industry Collaboration ==

The university of technology has a reputation for being an extremely practical university. Encouraging students to take on internships during their university career to better understand the job market and get real life experience. Industry professionals regularly mentor students during their semester at the hatchery and help design business models for potential student run start-up companies.

== Start-Up Companies ==

UTS’s constant support and entrepreneurial education has assisted may students develop million-dollar start-up companies straight out of university. Some of the companies developed and formed in the UTS environment include Cube rider, which is the first private Australian company to put satellites in space and Wine stash, which is predicted to make 3 million dollars during its third year.

== Strategy #3 - UTS Innovation Hub ==

(i'm not 100% sure about how to help you with this one Corey, as I thought your original plan was to just test QR code advertising... but now you have ut a lot of effort into the Innovation hub page)

= '''Overview''' =

I was lucky enough to have the privilege of holding a 1 on 1 interview with [[Jonathan Cook|Jonathan Cooks]] about the innovation space he helped develop at Grand Valley State University. He took me through his amazing story of how he did it with many insights and suggestions for future fellows who want to do the same.

The innovation space he helped create is around the size of a conference room, but has high end innovation technology, such as 3D printers, Microsoft HoloLens and HTC Vive. As well as the innovation space, he helped introduce design thinking to his university and ‘inject’ it into lectures which will be taught to the new 4,500 incoming freshmen. 

= '''Starting Off''' =

Having an innovation space on campus was not a completely new idea and it did not happen overnight. Jonathan was a huge advocate for the space, although not alone. Jonathan first started working towards the space roughly 2.5 years ago, he tried to bring it up with the academics and higher ups of his university, but found that it was too big of a risk for them to spend money on. The university didn't want to be guineapigs for an experiment. This meant that progress was extremely slow.

After these setbacks, Jonathan decided to try and tackle the problem from a completely different angle. Jonathan realised that he needed more support from the student body and the faculty to make this happen. 

 

= '''Design Thinking''' =

The new Angle Jonathan worked on was building support for his case. Some of the academics where supporting innovation and he used this as leverage to base his thesis around teaching design thinking. He partnered up with one of his friends and did 'pick up' classes for an hour and a half to teach students the basic concepts about innovation. 

They would volunteer to go to classrooms and teach a lesson on innovation. The lessons they taught were based off what they would want to learn as students. They introduced small innovation games like getting the entire class to partner up and share their daily morning routine and the partners would have to think creatively of how to improve their partner’s routine. This lead to such suggestions as 'taping your alarm clock to your ceiling' or 'drinking a cold glass of water to wake you up'. Simple interactive games like this really got the ball moving in terms of creative thinking around the university.

The two of them constantly changed what they were teaching the students based of feedback at the end of each lecture. Jonathan admitted that he was very lucky that his thesis supervisor was so well respected, that he was able to convince other professors to allow Jonathan to do this. This meant that he was able to reach a large range of different faculties and spread the idea of innovation through the student body during his 7 month thesis exercise.

= '''Translating into Support''' =

Jonathan was constantly giving out surveys during his thesis. He used this to collect a lot of data that backed his proposed solution to build an innovation room. One of the major contributing factors was that he'd basically helped university students start on random innovation projects only to realised that they didn't have the resources to go through with them, which in turn put a lot of pressure on the university to provide the facilities necessary to continual.

 

= '''The Room''' =

The first department to offer a room was the math department, where the head of the department was very pro-innovation. A tech room was also developed, which students run. Funding was secured from the university, which is in turn donated by a local tech company. This lead to the purchasing of impressive high tech equipment for the room. The room is used for interactive workshops, but it is also described as ' flexible', as anyone can go in there and use it for their own projects and use the technology provided. The room is maintained by students who are paid by the university and have 2-3 hour shifts between 11am-8pm. 

The space is 're-launched' every semester to help highlight the technology and the benefits it provides to all freshmen. 

= '''Tips and Advice''' =

Jonathan had a lot of advice and good insights to give to anyone trying to develop a space at their own university. The most significant was that an innovation space didn’t have to be a physical one. Even going to classrooms and teaching as you go helps the community a lot. No university wants to spend money on something no one wants, so you must start small and adapt it to the needs of your university.

He also gave some very practical advice to anyone stuck trying to convince their academic community to take on a project. He suggests researching and getting data from other Fellows or universities about their own spaces and the impacts it has had. This data and information will greatly help strengthen your own argument.

= '''Conclusion''' =

What Jonathan helped achieve at his university is absolutely amazing and he practically outlined how anyone here can do something similar. Start small and build your case and slowly work towards the innovation space you want.
