= Overview =
NYU-Poly as a school of engineering has developed a philosophy based on innovation, invention and entrepreneurship, captured by its motto,  i2e. This is the motivation driving Poly’s culture both academically and socially. But as Poly transitions into full integration in the NYU network, current students and alums are yearning for outlets to express their i2e identity. And this is where the gap stems from: an unawareness of design, consulting, and innovation focused communities affiliated with NYU-Poly and opportunities for valuable professional experience through the use of creative problem solving methodologies to consult on real world problems.To tackle this issue, I am proposing to develop and host an innovation consulting competition. This competition serves three key purposes. The first is to provide an environment that enacts the i2e philosophy of NYU-Poly, thus allowing NYU-Poly students to practice with real world projects while collaborating with students from other schools. Second, is to start framing a narrative around students building a tangible portfolio of work  while offering corporate recruiters access to high profile talent. Lastly, the competition is a prototype that will expose NYU administration to the benefits of having a student innovation club and support the inauguration of the Greenhouse Collective (an innovation consulting group inspired by the Design Tinkering Club and the Greenhouse that is awaiting NYU approval and support).<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>Please click hyperlink to view the Prezi overview of my [http://prezi.com/gdr0ztk4wxc3/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy campus ecosystem. ]
= Strategy #1: Share the Vision =
Gap #1: A general unawareness of design, consulting, and innovation focused communities affiliated with NYU-Poly and opportunities for valuable professional experience through the use of creative problem solving methodologies to consult on real world problems.Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #1 over a 2-3 year period:
== Tactic #1: Building the Innovation Community ==
Description: I will be focused on building synergistic relationships among NYU students, faculty, and innovation consulting firms. We can tap into the different student clubs to source for talent and spread the world about the upcoming competition. We seek support from existing faculty who champion innovation and entrepreneurship, and tap into their networks for insight, advice, resources, and key networks. Lastly, we reach out to top innovation consulting firms willing to work with us to build relationship between their recruiters and out students.Team Leader: Myself with the help of my advisor, Anne-Laure Fayard.Milestones:<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Build an excel sheet called "People of Interest" (includes club leaders, key I&E people at NYU, and outside resources)</li>
<li>Connect and share the competition proposal, gage their interest.</li>
</ul>

== Tactic #2: Competition (innovation consulting through interdisiciplinary teams)  ==
Description: We host a cross-disciplinary innovation consulting competition that teaches teams on how to apply design thinking principles to address issues. The competition will be broken down into 3 milestone presentations that are focused on the business, design, or technical aspect of the project.Team Leader: Me'''Milestones''':
*Sponsorship/Supporting Partners secured
*Showcases 1, 2, 3
*Announcing 1st place Winner

== Tactic #3: Networking ==
Description: As a part of the competition, the contestants will have a chance to meet and greet professionals and HR personnel in the innovation consulting industry. Each contestant will be given a handbook on company profiles, breaking into the industry, internship and entry-level opportunities,  and a list of HR contacts.Team Leader:TBD'''Milestones:'''<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Supporting partners and their HR people network and meet with contestants</li>
</ul>

= Strategy #2: Build it and they will come! =

== Tactic #1: Greenhouse Collective ==

Description: Winners from the competition will join in the fight to bring the GC into existence as the pilot team. The GC will need support from the school in the form of personnel that will develop and implement the embodying culture for the Greenhouse.

Team Leader: Design Tinkering Club +  Myself

'''Milestones:'''
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Securing a Program Director</li>
<li>Completing a web portal to receive briefs, display completed projects, and featured partners</li>
<li>Manage outreach, community events, and leadership of the Greenhouse Collective</li>
</ul>

= Strategy #3: Februray is a time for love and prototyping.  =

----

== Tactic: Prototyping Month / 3D Week ==

After reassessing the landscape and existing infrastructure, I discovered that NYU & NYU Engineering was satuarated with competitions and semester-long challenges. With the collective insight of my advisor, Anne-Laure Fayard, we decided to focus on cultivating a culture of innovation by hosting a month-long series of pop up workshops at NYU Engineering's campus, particularly in the Greenhouse, a newly built collaborative workspace for students to congregate, explore their ideas, and find resources to make forward progress with their ventures. 

= NYU + NYU SOE:Two Strong Traditions, One Even Stronger Future =

The community has become even stronger after the official merger of NYU and NYU-Poly. The resources available on campus have quadrupled which the students can tap into with ease.The merger has bridged the communication gap between two campuses so that students and faculty from various fields can interact and exchange thoughts efficiently. This cohesive environment has shown an accelerating impact on the groundbreaking research, Inventions and engineering projects that are coming out of this university.

= Strategy 4: Makerspace on campus =

 After interviewing a lot of stakeholders at the university, it seems like one thing that could further enhance the current I & E ecosystem at the university is a makers space.  A space where students can get hands on experience with prototyping and others tools. Students can apply their in-class knowledge to

real-life. NYU School of Engineering is in initial talk of building a makerspace for their community.  Being an engineering school, this space would help foster creativity and design tinkering amongst students and faculty.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them..</li>
<li>Determine an ideal space on campus that could be useful for building makerspace.</li>
<li>Seek for corporate partners from the city who would be interested. This would bring in projects for students.</li>
<li>Regular workshops for students.</li>
<li>Come up with some potential revenue streams.</li>
<li>Collaborate with the other entrepreneurial and innovative spaces on campus, for example: Incubators, Greenhouse, Leslie E lab, Magnet etc.</li>
<li>Host regular hack fests and invention contest.</li>
</ul>

= Strategy 5: SPARK (Tentative Name) =

 Greenhouse is a home for ideation and collaboration at NYU-SOE managed by Professor Anne-Laure Fayard and the greenhouse guardians (Students). The space hosts occasional talks (Youth Cafe), skill shares and opportunities to meet with professionals from NYU-SOE incubators and industry. It provides a unique environment where students gain knowledge and learn the importance of design thinkering - Creative problem solving, Innovation and entrepreneurship unlike other spaces, which are focused on inventions/ growth of a startup.  

The accelerating growth of the I & E ecosystem at the university has empowered the students engagement towards the activities hosted by Greenhouse. This clearly shows the increase in demand for such activities. Innovations fellows, Greenhouse guardians and Professor Anne-Laure Fayard will design a program, SPARK (Tentative name). SPARK would not only open doors for students with innovative ideas but also for those seeking to be design thinkers, innovative or entrepreneurial. SPARK will be designed to bridge all the spaces/resources available on campus and make it easier for students to tap into.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li>
<li>Design well structured program where students gain overall experience in design thinking, innovation and entrepreneurship.</li>
<li>Open to students from all majors.</li>
<li>Curriculum courses: Credit incentives for students</li>
<li>Program creates synergy between the innovative spaces on campus. i.e enhances the current I & E ecosystem.</li>
</ul>

= Strategy 6: i2e Showcase (Annual) =

 NYU School of Engineering students are constantly applying the i2e (innovation, invention and entrepreneurship) philosophy in our classrooms, competition, organization, workspaces, and career development opportunities. Campus resources have increased to a level where now students are overwhelmed or have no clue about where to start from.

i2e Showcase will be an annual event that will feature display of the most recent projects, Inventions, startups and innovative spaces on campus. A part of the showcase will be networking, where students can explore opportunities that might interest them. Sharing inventions and great project will inspire the students and also empower their engagement towards Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li>
<li>Prepare a proposal to show administrators its importance to get permissions to make it an annual event.</li>
<li>Invite influencing projects, inventions and startups developing at the school to share their experience and story.</li>
<li>Tour-visit to the innovative spaces on campus.</li>
<li>Keep the event also open to public, that might bring in new projects for students to work on.</li>

= Strategy #3: Februray is a time for love and prototyping.  =

----

== Tactic: Prototyping Month / 3D Week ==

After reassessing the landscape and existing infrastructure, I discovered that NYU & NYU Engineering was satuarated with competitions and semester-long challenges. With the collective insight of my advisor, Anne-Laure Fayard, we decided to focus on cultivating a culture of innovation by hosting a month-long series of pop up workshops at NYU Engineering's campus, particularly in the Greenhouse, a newly built collaborative workspace for students to congregate, explore their ideas, and find resources to make forward progress with their ventures. 

= NYU + NYU SOE:Two Strong Traditions, One Even Stronger Future =

The community has become even stronger after the official merger of NYU and NYU-Poly. The resources available on campus have quadrupled which the students can tap into with ease.The merger has bridged the communication gap between two campuses so that students and faculty from various fields can interact and exchange thoughts efficiently. This cohesive environment has shown an accelerating impact on the groundbreaking research, Inventions and engineering projects that are coming out of this university.

= The Pitch =

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMSYzpcZVKo&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMSYzpcZVKo&feature=youtu.be]

= Strategy 4: Makerspace on campus =

 After interviewing a lot of stakeholders at the university, it seems like one thing that could further enhance the current I & E ecosystem at the university is a makers space.  A space where students can get hands on experience with prototyping and others tools. Students can apply their in-class knowledge to

real-life. NYU School of Engineering is in initial talk of building a makerspace for their community.  Being an engineering school, this space would help foster creativity and design tinkering amongst students and faculty.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them..</li>
<li>Determine an ideal space on campus that could be useful for building makerspace.</li>
<li>Seek for corporate partners from the city who would be interested. This would bring in projects for students.</li>
<li>Regular workshops for students.</li>
<li>Come up with some potential revenue streams.</li>
<li>Collaborate with the other entrepreneurial and innovative spaces on campus, for example: Incubators, Greenhouse, Leslie E lab, Magnet etc.</li>
<li>Host regular hack fests and invention contest.</li>
</ul>

= Strategy 5: SPARK (Tentative Name) =

 Greenhouse is a home for ideation and collaboration at NYU-SOE managed by Professor Anne-Laure Fayard and the greenhouse guardians (Students). The space hosts occasional talks (Youth Cafe), skill shares and opportunities to meet with professionals from NYU-SOE incubators and industry. It provides a unique environment where students gain knowledge and learn the importance of design thinkering - Creative problem solving, Innovation and entrepreneurship unlike other spaces, which are focused on inventions/ growth of a startup.  

The accelerating growth of the I & E ecosystem at the university has empowered the students engagement towards the activities hosted by Greenhouse. This clearly shows the increase in demand for such activities. Innovations fellows, Greenhouse guardians and Professor Anne-Laure Fayard will design a program, SPARK (Tentative name). SPARK would not only open doors for students with innovative ideas but also for those seeking to be design thinkers, innovative or entrepreneurial. SPARK will be designed to bridge all the spaces/resources available on campus and make it easier for students to tap into.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li>
<li>Design well structured program where students gain overall experience in design thinking, innovation and entrepreneurship.</li>
<li>Open to students from all majors.</li>
<li>Curriculum courses: Credit incentives for students</li>
<li>Program creates synergy between the innovative spaces on campus. i.e enhances the current I & E ecosystem.</li>
</ul>

= Strategy 6: i2e Showcase (Annual) =

 NYU School of Engineering students are constantly applying the i2e (innovation, invention and entrepreneurship) philosophy in our classrooms, competition, organization, workspaces, and career development opportunities. Campus resources have increased to a level where now students are overwhelmed or have no clue about where to start from.

i2e Showcase will be an annual event that will feature display of the most recent projects, Inventions, startups and innovative spaces on campus. A part of the showcase will be networking, where students can explore opportunities that might interest them. Sharing inventions and great project will inspire the students and also empower their engagement towards Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

== Tactics: ==
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li>
<li>Prepare a proposal to show administrators its importance to get permissions to make it an annual event.</li>
<li>Invite influencing projects, inventions and startups developing at the school to share their experience and story.</li>
<li>Tour-visit to the innovative spaces on campus.</li>
<li>Keep the event also open to public, that might bring in new projects for students to work on.</li>
</ul>

= Overview =

NYU-Poly as a school of engineering has developed a philosophy based on innovation, invention and entrepreneurship, captured by its motto,  i2e. This is the motivation driving Poly’s culture both academically and socially. But as Poly transitions into full integration in the NYU network, current students and alums are yearning for outlets to express their i2e identity. And this is where the gap stems from: an unawareness of design, consulting, and innovation focused communities affiliated with NYU-Poly and opportunities for valuable professional experience through the use of creative problem solving methodologies to consult on real world problems.

To tackle this issue, I am proposing to develop and host an innovation consulting competition. This competition serves three key purposes. The first is to provide an environment that enacts the i2e philosophy of NYU-Poly, thus allowing NYU-Poly students to practice with real world projects while collaborating with students from other schools. Second, is to start framing a narrative around students building a tangible portfolio of work  while offering corporate recruiters access to high profile talent. Lastly, the competition is a prototype that will expose NYU administration to the benefits of having a student innovation club and support the inauguration of the Greenhouse Collective (an innovation consulting group inspired by the Design Tinkering Club and the Greenhouse that is awaiting NYU approval and support).

[[File:NYUSOE.jpeg]]New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering (NYU| SOE) founded in 1854, is the second oldest private engineering and technology school in the United States. NYU| SOE is one of the 18 schools and colleges that comparise New York University (NYU). The campus is located in Brooklyn, centrally located at MetroTech Centre, an urban university-industry science and technology park. The school offers about 60 academic programs at bachelor's, masters and doctoral levels. [[File:NYUCampus.jpg|frame]]
= The Urban-Campus =
NYU- SOEis located in the heart of Brooklyn Downtown, that completely blends with the corporate world and gives students an exposure to resources beyond the university gates and increases their opportunities and prepares them for the future. The students can easily tap into vast array of resources from NYU-SOE and as well as from the entire ecosystem of all NYU-Washington Square Schools (17 schools) which are few stops away in [http://www.mta.info/ NYC-Metro](approx:10mins). NYU is a global university, which means when a students joins one school under the NYU umbrella, he/she can access resources across all the schools (Including the global campuses).
= Spaces that Inspire Innovation =

== Leslie eLab ==
[[File:Leslie elab 2.jpg]]Recently, NYU added a new space called the [https://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/leslie-elab.html Leslie eLab]at the heart of the university campus. This is a collaborative space for entrepreneurial students across 18 schools of NYU. This space features flexibly configured co-working spaces, meeting rooms, an event space, and a fabrication lab to encourage interaction, prototyping, and collaboration.  The Leslie eLab serves as the headquarters for the [https://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/about/entrepreneurial-institute.html NYU Entrepreneurial Institute]and [https://www.nyu.edu/about/university-initiatives/entrepreneurship-at-nyu/fund/innovation-venture-fund.html NYU Innovation Venture Fund]. Just from the idea of possibly building the space, it has inspired a lot of students and faculty towards innovation and entrepreneurship. Now, after physically building the space it is believed it will instill a stronger sense of community among NYU’s budding entrepreneurs in its many schools.
== Greenhouse ==
[[File:Greenhouse.jpg]]The [http://greenhousestories.com/ Greenhouse] is a home for ideation and collaboration at NYU-SOE. It is a space that stimulates interdisciplinary collaboration, prototyping and innovation. The culture of the greenhouse aims to nurture seedlings of ideas and bring ideas to life through iteration and experimentation. The space is a blank slate for creative thinkers with occasional talks ([http://greenhousestories.com/youth-cafe/ Youth Cafe]) , skill shares, and opportunities to meet with professionals from NYU-SOE incubators and industry.

The mission is to develop next generation gaming. Some of the various projects includes user interface innovation (sensor-based tracking, multi-touch), network & video quality research, and research on gaming for learning.
= Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship =
NYU - SOE students are ingrained, with a strong sense of innovation and entrepreneurship. Here, Students are constantly applying the I2E ("I squared E" - invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship) philosophy in our classrooms, competitions, organizations, workspaces, career development opportunities, and funding.The premier organizations on campus supporting this ideology are The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Association (EIA) and the Design Tinkering Club (DTC). EIA seeks to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem based on the I2E philosophy by hosting a student-faculty forum to “learn the concepts of entrepreneurship, provide the benefits of self-employment, and the step-by-step path involved in launching and commercializing own ideas. Each year they host events, workshops, and challenges such as [http://engineering.nyu.edu/innovention Inno/Vention], [http://riskyideas.com/ Risky Ideas]and App Challenge. In addition, they are active participants in the [http://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/about/departments-centers-initiatives/centers-of-research/berkley-center/programs/venture-competitions/index.htm NYU Entrepreneur Challenge].The Design Tinkering Club, originally the OpenIDEO Student Chapter, uses design thinking processes to cultivate viable solutions for social issues. Each year, DTC champions the [http://www.openideo.com/ OpenIDEO Challenge]across campus to spark engagement and awareness of the world’s most pressing social issues. In conjunction with NYU-SOE administrators and stakeholders such as NCIIA and NSF, DTC launched The Greenhouse, a collaborative workspace for students and faculty to inspire, ideate, prototype, and share their newest innovations and entrepreneurial ventures. The Greenhouse wants to further educate and cultivate design thinkers through its Youth Cafe, bi-weekly workshops and talks featuring professionals in entrepreneurship and innovation worlds. The [http://greenhousestories.com/youth-cafe/ Youth Cafe]gives the NYU community a chance to listen, share, and network with change makers from around the world.NYU-SOE students can learn first hand what it takes to be a working entrepreneur through their Skill-based Program for Incubator Knowledge and Employment (SPIKE). This program aims to support early-stage companies developing in SOE's incubators while simultaneously providing an opportunity for students to learn the skills necessary to find employment after completing their studies ([http://engineering.nyu.edu/SPIKE SPIKE Homepage]). These internships are held at one of the three offices in the [http://engineering.nyu.edu/business/incubators NYU-SOE Incubators].

In the latest Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) survey, 35% of incoming Bucknell students indicated that "Becoming successful in a business of my own" was ''essential'' or ''very important'' to them. At Bucknell, there are many actions have been taken to create a better entrepreneurial ecosystem with the belief that this is something students want. As a result of Bucknell President John Bravman's extensive support for the entrepreneurial ecosystem on-campus, many previously uncoordinated efforts have been synthesized in a much more effective way. This article details the entrepreneurship programs available for both students and faculty as well as the resources allocated towards these entrepreneurial endeavors.

The program’s design includes a series of courses focused on how to identify consumer needs, how to realize innovative ideas and analyze their market potential, and how to bring products and services to market through existing marketing organizations or through new ventures. The MIDE program includes a dedicated course in entrepreneurship, MIDE 303.

[http://www.bucknell.edu/x44757.xml Management 101] Bucknell's collaborative, experiential organization and management project course teaches about how, when, and why people work together to accomplish tasks. In the course, students create and manage companies. These companies are not "simulations" or "games.” They operate with a budget of $3,000-5,000 in order to deliver real services to clients and develop and sell real products to customers. Currently, one in every four Bucknell graduates takes MGMT 101, and over the past thirty years, literally thousands of Bucknellians have started their careers in this one course. For aspiring entrepreneurs, MGMT 101 already comprises one possible gateway to gain skills and take a first step toward engaging with the entrepreneurship ecosystem.

'''Residential Colleges''' The Residential Colleges provide a living and learning community experience to first-year students at Bucknell. Currently there are nine different themes. The current “Society and Technology” themed Residential College and recently approved “Discovery College” render themselves well to being incorporated into Bucknell’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.

'''Affinity Housing Program''' The AHP provides a unique living and learning experience that enables a group of students to live together while exploring a common area of interest. Student groups ranging from a cadre of like-minded individuals to members of the same student organization apply to live together in one of Bucknell University’s Small Houses or residence halls. Two Affinity Housing Programs were approved for the year 2013 – 2014 that should be considered part of Bucknell’s emerging Ecology of Entrepreneurship. These are the “Technology for a Sustainable Environment” and “Entrepreneurship and Innovation” programs.

'''Entrepreneurial Club''' The Entrepreneurial Club is recognized by the Bucknell Student Government and falls under the umbrella of Campus Activities and Programs. The group articulates a mission to “promote an entrepreneurial mindset on Bucknell’s campus through interaction with other similarly minded organizations and through providing opportunities for students to collaborate with one another over the topic.” The Club’s activities include bringing entrepreneurs to campus to speak to students.

'''Bucknell Business Leaders''' Bucknell Business Leaders is an ambitious student run organization that provides students with real-life business experiences. Every semester, Bucknell Business Leaders will brainstorm, research, design, order, and sell at least one product that hopefully a wide range of Bucknellians will love. Participation in this organization will give students a glimpse of many aspects of a real business: product research and design, finance, marketing, advertising, sales, and teamwork. Students who participate in this campus organization, management and non-management majors, will not only learn a great deal about business but have lots of fun.

'''Bucknell Business Pitch Competition''' The Business Pitch Competition was launched in 2012 to inspire and engage aspiring student entrepreneurs. Student entrepreneurs create and deliver a professional and engaging business pitch presenting an innovative and marketable business concept. The inaugural event engaged over fifty students on 18 venture teams, attracted $10,000 in alumni giving towards prizes and promotions, featured nine faculty and staff members as preliminary round judges, and engaged six distinguished alumni as judges and mentors for the final round of competitors. Winners were awarded monetary prizes and offers of informal mentorship from the alumni judges. The first prize winner also received a one year residency in Bucknell’s Entrepreneurs Incubator.

'''Venture Plan Competition''' A competition offered for undergraduate students to promote entrepreneurship and new ventures. The competition was started in 2009 at Bucknell University and has awarded more than $17,000 to students creating new ventures. Students participating in the competition are responsible for creating a full written Venture Plan and have an opportunity to present it to a panel of seasoned judges that come from a variety of backgrounds including start-ups, business strategy, and venture capital. Venture Plan Competition offers students a complementary and expanded experience to the pitch competition and pits Bucknell students against students from Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ) partner institutions Bloomsburg and Susquehanna Universities. This competition is currently organized by the Greater Susquehanna KIZ.
