= <u>Overview</u> =

IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of innovation and entrepreneurship. Even though we have a few classes and competitions we really didn't have a basis of innovation on our campus. According to some of the higher ups, that work at IUPUI, they are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus. 

= <u>IUPUI Student Efforts</u> =

Student have been trying for a few years to have more of a push for I&E on campus. It proved difficlult as clubs and student organizations that were formed, either died out or had very low to no attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.

The main goal of the Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one semester, these 12 students have already begun the process of bringing a designated innovation space to IUPUI and are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus. Beyond that, they hope to continue to bring students from very fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

In an effort to get the ball rolling from the student end towards improving IUPUI's innovative mindset. The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. The Brain Trust has also brought a TEDx licence holder to the IUPUI campus named David Miller. He is also a member of the Brain Trust and works passionalty to get thing done.

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Faculty Proposal for Developing Culture of Innovation on Campus:</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In the Fall of 2015 the was an assembly of the Deans of the individual schools of study, discussing different ways to promote innovation on campus. The main point conveyed in the meeting was that the movement had to be student led. Unfortunately this movement proposal fell to the wayside under the red tape of running a university. Fortunately, The Brain Trust was recently made aware of the proceedings of this meeting and is currently following up with the Vice Chancellor of IUPUI in an effort to allocate funds and the people needed to make this proposal a reality.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The Herron School of Art and Design has recently spent $1.3 million to design a makerspace known as the Think It Make It Lab.

In pursuit of alternative energies, student organizations such as The Brain Trust, Sustainability Councils, and SEDS actively attempt to bring student-led initiatives to a public and professional developmental level. Currently in progress is a bid for a self-sustained orbital space station for human life support, programs to increase environment-sustainable awareness in the community, and a project to produce self-contained shipping crate housing solutions for students interested in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation.</span></span>

= <u>Local Economic Development</u><br/> =

With its urban location, IUPUI not only has strong interior innovation opportunity, but exteriorly, too.  Leaders of Indianapolis have a vision of Indianapolis becoming the "Silicon Valley of the Midwest."  Connecting IUPUI to this ecosystem will provide students with resources and mentors to jumpstart their projects.

<u>'''16 Tech Indy'''</u>

16 Tech is a planned Innovation Community and one of the largest talent attraction, retention and development opportunities in Indianapolis’ history.

The Innovation Community is purpose-built to attract the best talent to collaborate, innovate and commercialize new ideas across a spectrum of advanced industries, including life sciences, technology and advanced manufacturing. The community is built to respond to the way innovation occurs today ─ in open environments where collaboration occurs naturally, while breaking down barriers that sometimes exist in the cross-pollination of ideas across industries.

Innovation communities like 16 Tech draw companies and talent from around the world; they also provide job training and development opportunities for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s this mix of talent and industry diversity that makes for a truly inclusive and vibrant community for innovation and business and community development.

Like any community, 16 Tech will be a place where people not only work, but live, play and learn. Its millions of square feet of custom, open, modern innovation space is coupled with retail and housing development, generous green space and walking/biking trails for a rich, urban living experience.

In pursuit of alternative energies, student organizations such as The Brain Trust, Sustainability Councils, and SEDS actively attempt to bring student-led initiatives to a public and professional developmental level. Currently in progress is a bid for a self-sustained orbital space station for human life support, programs to increase environment-sustainable awareness in the community, and a project to produce self-contained shipping crate housing solutions for students interested in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation.</span></span>

<u>'''16 Tech Indy'''</u>

16 Tech is a planned Innovation Community and one of the largest talent attraction, retention and development opportunities in Indianapolis’ history.

The Innovation Community is purpose-built to attract the best talent to collaborate, innovate and commercialize new ideas across a spectrum of advanced industries, including life sciences, technology and advanced manufacturing. The community is built to respond to the way innovation occurs today ─ in open environments where collaboration occurs naturally, while breaking down barriers that sometimes exist in the cross-pollination of ideas across industries.

Innovation communities like 16 Tech draw companies and talent from around the world; they also provide job training and development opportunities for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s this mix of talent and industry diversity that makes for a truly inclusive and vibrant community for innovation and business and community development.

Like any community, 16 Tech will be a place where people not only work, but live, play and learn. Its millions of square feet of custom, open, modern innovation space is coupled with retail and housing development, generous green space and walking/biking trails for a rich, urban living experience.

= <u>Overview</u> =

IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of innovation and entrepreneurship. Even though we have a few classes and competitions we really didn't have a basis of innovation on our campus. According to some of the higher ups, that work at IUPUI, they are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus. 

= <u>IUPUI Student Efforts</u> =

Student have been trying for a few years to have more of a push for I&E on campus. It proved difficlult as clubs and student organizations that were formed, either died out or had very low to no attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.

The main goal of the Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one semester, these 12 students have already begun the process of bringing a designated innovation space to IUPUI and are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus. Beyond that, they hope to continue to bring students from very fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

In an effort to get the ball rolling from the student end towards improving IUPUI's innovative mindset. The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. The Brain Trust has also brought a TEDx licence holder to the IUPUI campus named David Miller. He is also a member of the Brain Trust and works passionalty to get thing done.

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In the Fall of 2015 the was an assembly of the Deans of the individual schools of study, discussing different ways to promote innovation on campus. The main point conveyed in the meeting was that the movement had to be student led. Unfortunately this movement proposal fell to the wayside under the red tape of running a university. Fortunately, The Brain Trust was recently made aware of the proceedings of this meeting and is currently following up with the Vice Chancellor of IUPUI in an effort to allocate funds and the people needed to make this proposal a reality.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">JagStart is a annual competition where students can pitch their ideas for solving campus, local, national and even world issues. This competition is in elevator pitch format and can be taken on by an individual or a team. It is the hope that this gets students in touch with their more innovative and passionate side. It is a good opportunity to get a small feel of what pitching an idea to an audience is like.</span>

<u>'''16 Tech Indy'''</u>

16 Tech is a planned Innovation Community and one of the largest talent attraction, retention and development opportunities in Indianapolis’ history.

The Innovation Community is purpose-built to attract the best talent to collaborate, innovate and commercialize new ideas across a spectrum of advanced industries, including life sciences, technology and advanced manufacturing. The community is built to respond to the way innovation occurs today ─ in open environments where collaboration occurs naturally, while breaking down barriers that sometimes exist in the cross-pollination of ideas across industries.

Innovation communities like 16 Tech draw companies and talent from around the world; they also provide job training and development opportunities for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s this mix of talent and industry diversity that makes for a truly inclusive and vibrant community for innovation and business and community development.

Like any community, 16 Tech will be a place where people not only work, but live, play and learn. Its millions of square feet of custom, open, modern innovation space is coupled with retail and housing development, generous green space and walking/biking trails for a rich, urban living experience.

= <u>Overview</u> =

IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of innovation and entrepreneurship. Even though we have a few classes and competitions we really didn't have a basis of innovation on our campus. According to some of the higher ups, that work at IUPUI, they are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus. 

= <u>IUPUI Student Efforts</u> =

Student have been trying for a few years to have more of a push for I&E on campus. It proved difficlult as clubs and student organizations that were formed, either died out or had very low to no attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.

The main goal of the Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one semester, these 12 students have already begun the process of bringing a designated innovation space to IUPUI and are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus. Beyond that, they hope to continue to bring students from very fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

In an effort to get the ball rolling from the student end towards improving IUPUI's innovative mindset. The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. The Brain Trust has also brought a TEDx licence holder to the IUPUI campus named David Miller. He is also a member of the Brain Trust and works passionalty to get thing done.

<u>'''16 Tech Indy'''</u>

16 Tech is a planned Innovation Community and one of the largest talent attraction, retention and development opportunities in Indianapolis’ history.

The Innovation Community is purpose-built to attract the best talent to collaborate, innovate and commercialize new ideas across a spectrum of advanced industries, including life sciences, technology and advanced manufacturing. The community is built to respond to the way innovation occurs today ─ in open environments where collaboration occurs naturally, while breaking down barriers that sometimes exist in the cross-pollination of ideas across industries.

Innovation communities like 16 Tech draw companies and talent from around the world; they also provide job training and development opportunities for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s this mix of talent and industry diversity that makes for a truly inclusive and vibrant community for innovation and business and community development.

Like any community, 16 Tech will be a place where people not only work, but live, play and learn. Its millions of square feet of custom, open, modern innovation space is coupled with retail and housing development, generous green space and walking/biking trails for a rich, urban living experience.

= <u>Overview</u> =

IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of innovation and entrepreneurship. Even though we have a few classes and competitions we really didn't have a basis of innovation on our campus. According to some of the higher ups, that work at IUPUI, they are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus. 

= <u>IUPUI Student Efforts</u> =

Student have been trying for a few years to have more of a push for I&E on campus. It proved difficlult as clubs and student organizations that were formed, either died out or had very low to no attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.

In an effort to get the ball rolling from the student end towards improving IUPUI's innovative mindset. The Brain Trust's first effort t was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape.

The main goal of the Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one semester, these 12 students have already begun the process of bringing a designated innovation space to IUPUI and are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus. Beyond that, they hope to continue to bring students from very fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

<span style="font-size: 12px;">With its urban location, IUPUI not only has strong interior innovation opportunity, but exteriorly, too.  Leaders of Indianapolis have a vision of Indianapolis becoming the "Silicon Valley of the Midwest."  Connecting IUPUI to this ecosystem will provide students with resources and mentors to jumpstart their projects.</span>

<u>'''16 Tech Indy'''</u>

16 Tech is a planned Innovation Community and one of the largest talent attraction, retention and development opportunities in Indianapolis’ history.

The Innovation Community is purpose-built to attract the best talent to collaborate, innovate and commercialize new ideas across a spectrum of advanced industries, including life sciences, technology and advanced manufacturing. The community is built to respond to the way innovation occurs today ─ in open environments where collaboration occurs naturally, while breaking down barriers that sometimes exist in the cross-pollination of ideas across industries.

Innovation communities like 16 Tech draw companies and talent from around the world; they also provide job training and development opportunities for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s this mix of talent and industry diversity that makes for a truly inclusive and vibrant community for innovation and business and community development.

Like any community, 16 Tech will be a place where people not only work, but live, play and learn. Its millions of square feet of custom, open, modern innovation space is coupled with retail and housing development, generous green space and walking/biking trails for a rich, urban living experience.

Student have been trying for a few years to have more of a push for I&E on campus. It proved to be difficlult as club and student organizations formed but either died out or had very low to no attendence.

The main goal of the Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Even though this student organization has only been around for one semester, these 12 students have already begun to bring a designated innovation space to IUPUI and are now in the planning stages of a real structure. Beyond that, they hope to continue to bring students from very fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

= Department of Commerce Report and Wiki Launch<br/> =

On November 1, 2013 University Innovation Fellows launched this wiki platform at for students to share information and best practices about innovation and entrepreneurship at their schools. The wiki provides student leaders in academia with resources and how-to strategies for enhancing the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus. Information on courses and programs also enables students on campus to find resources to advance their skills in topics such as creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, commercialization, technology translation and venture development.

The launch of the wiki coincided with the release of the report, “The Innovative and Entrepreneurial University: Higher Education, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Focus," published by the Department of Commerce. Eleven 'deep dives' into innovative and entrepreneurial universities provide best practices for fostering innovation and entrepreneurship by supporting student and faculty entrepreneurship, university-industry collaboration, technology transfer and regional economic development. At the time, the data shared by the Department of Commerce report were accompanied by 21 deep dives completed by University Innovation Fellows.

Resource:How to expose incoming freshman to I&E using a design blitz

2016-01-22T04:54:26Z

Sinikenn:

== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Introduction</span> ==

One of the greatest things about college is that it opens the door to all new experiences. There are so many different opportunities that are thrown at freshmen right off the bat. But how does one actually get freshmen to take interest in what they have to offer?

With innovation and entrepreneurship in particular, it is sometimes difficult to get people to understand exactly what it all entails. You need to give them a taste how to think with an I & E mindset to really get them excited. This is where you would give them that chance through the concept of the Design Blitz.

So what is a Design Blitz? A Design Blitz is a strategical method that can be used to create solutions very quickly under strict time constraints. It is brought forth with a lot of energy and enthusiasm in order to create a solution that is extraordinary. It is called a “ blitz” because of its sudden nature. With the pressure of  little time, you have to jump in full force to get the well thought out solution you need in the little time you are given.

== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Marketing</span> ==

One of the crucial hurdles that you must jump, is getting the word out about your Design Blitz workshops. You want freshman to be intrigued enough to give your workshop a try. The most effective method of advertising your events is by word-of-mouth. In order to really spark someone's interest and persuade them to attend your event you should have a face-to-face interaction. This helps you connect on a deeper level with freshman in a more personal way.

Also, there are pre-existing groups which have organized innovation and entrepreneurship workshops. By identifying groups within and around campus who are involved in the I&E ecosystem, you will increase the numbers of personal interactions andincrease the promotion of the event. This provides you with many more mouths to spread the word. Another good way to attract attendees/participants is to secure a high-profile individual to talk at your event. This will not only attract freshman who will bring their friends, but many other members of the student body and even faculty. Including <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">a field your students want to learn more about (for example, Social Entrepreneurship or human centered design) in your I & E workshops and events is a great way to generate students' interest.</span>

== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Organization/Logistics</span> ==

When planning your event, it is important that you keep everything organized and well thought out. You need to plan a location, shopping list, cost, materials etc. For example, when it comes to location, a centrally located or well-known location to hold the event is in your best interest. This makes it easy for everyone to find, plus if it is central, people that are walking by tend to stop to see what is going on. Ideally, the location should have ample room to move around and be very open.

As for materials to bring, there are not many needed. Your basic rapid prototyping supplies, which include markers, sticky notes, etc., will be enough. You will want to make a detailed list of the items you already have and the items that you will need to go buy. This way you will cut costs by not purchasing items you already have.

Speaking of costs, you will want to make sure you find everything in your event that could possibly cost money. This includes materials, guest speakers, renting equipment, food (if you choose) and anything else that you could potentially need funding to cover.

== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Finding Funding</span> ==

After calculating all the costs, you may realize that you will need funding. When you think of how to get funding, think of how you pitch one of your innovative ideas. You will want to do that same thing to get your funding. You want to get people excited about your workshop event and show them how the event will help promote the good of the campus. 

One way you can get funding is through collaboration. If you team up with existing organizations/maker spaces on campus this can be a great way to not only 1) secure funding through co-sponsored projects but also 2) collaborate with more change makers on campus and therefore, get the word out about your I & E event. Also, reach out to faculty and staff of the university. You would be surprised who you can find that is willing to fund your event.

== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Selecting a Date and Time</span> ==

Try not to schedule an event on campus close to finals or midterms, because not as many students will show up (even though they'd love to). It is also advisable to check well in advance of the event to see if your event clashes with any other high-profile and well-publicized event on campus. You don't want to lose any potential participants.

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Introducing freshmen to I & E during Orientation week gives UIF great visibility and gets conversation and action about innovation started on campus at the beginning of the school year. </span>To really keep the I&E mindset in motion, try not to teach all you can in one event, but rather many events over time. If students are interested in coming to a single meeting, chances are they will attend more than one meeting because they are passionate about their ideas. Having multiple sessions over a semester will allow continuous growth and networking among students. Select times that work for the attendees; do not schedule during the meeting times of other organizations/clubs that your target attendees are interested in (i.e. Society of Women Engineers, Hackathon, etc.).

Something to keep in mind: freshmen tend to pick out clubs and organizations to participate in early in the semester, therefore it may be in your best interest to set up the first session in the beginning of the semester. You could contact freshmen orientation directors to possibly arrange the preliminary session during orientation to capture the attention of your target attendees early on.

== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Lessons and Tips</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span> ==

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">In case you are a little stressed out by everything you just read, here are some final tips to help:</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Pointless repetition is boring; have diverse offerings. Choose from an array of exiciting event ideas: competition, a guest speaker, a meet-and-greet, a hackathon, a design thinking workshop etc. Maintain the element of novel</span>ty.</span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Don't be hesitant to host a workshop because you are afraid there will be a small turnout. If you don't go ahead with your project, you'll never know.</span></span>

Ideally, the location should have ample room to move around and be very open.

As for materials to bring, there are not many needed. Your basic rapid prototyping supplies, which include markers, sticky notes, etc., will be enough. You will want to make a detailed list of the items you already have and the items that you will need to go buy. This way you will cut costs by not purchasing items you already have.

Speaking of costs, you will want to make sure you find everything in your event that could possibly cost money. This includes materials, guest speakers, renting equipment, food (if you choose) and anything else that you could potentially need funding to cover.

== Finding Funding ==

After calculating all the costs, you may realize that you will need funding. When you think of how to get funding, thing of how you pitch one of your innovative ideas. You will want to do that same thing to get your funding. You want to get people excited about your workshop event and show them how the event will help promote the good of the campus. 

One way you can get funding, is through collaboration. If you team up with existing organizations/maker spaces on campus this can be a great way to not only 1) secure funding through co-sponsored projects but also 2) collaborate with more change makers on campus and therefore, get the word out about your I & E event. Also, reach out to faculty and staff of the university. You would be surprised who you can find that is willing to fund your event.

== Selecting a Date and Time ==

Try not to schedule an event on campus close to finals or midterms, because not as many students will show up (even though they'd love to). It is also advisable to check well in advance of the event to see if your event clashes with any other high-profile and well-publicized event on campus. You don't want to lose any potential attendees.

Resource:How to expose incoming freshman to I&E using a design blitz

== Introduction ==

One of the greatest things about college is that it opens the door to all new experiences. There are so many different opportunities that are thrown at freshman right off the bat. But how does one actually get freshman to take interest in what they have to offer?

With innovation and entrepreneurship in particular, it is sometimes difficult to get people to understand exactly what it all entails. You need to give them a taste how to think with an I & E mindset to really get them excited. This is where you would give them that chance through the concept of the Design Blitz.

So what is a Design Blitz? A Design Blitz is a strategical method that can be used to create solutions very quickly under strict time constraints. It is brought forth with a lot of energy and enthusiasm in order to create a solution that is extraordinary. It is called a “ blitz” because of its sudden nature. With the pressure of  little time, you have to jump in full force to get the well thought out solution you need in the little time you are given.

== Marketing ==

<span style="font-size:small;">One of the crucial hurdles that you must jump, is getting the word out about your Design Blitz workshops. You want freshman to be intrigued enough to give your workshop a try. The most effective method of advertising your events is by word-of-mouth. In order to really spark someone's interest and persuade them to attend your event you should have a face-to-face interaction. This helps you connect on a deeper level with freshman in a more personal way. There are also pre-existing groups which have organized innovation and entrepreneurship workshops. By identifying groups within and around campus who are involved in the I&E ecosystem, you will increase the numbers of personal interactions andincrease the promotion of the event. This provides you with many more mouths to spread the word. Another good way to attract attendees/participants is to secure a high-profile individual to talk at your event. This will not only attract freshman who will bring their friends, but many other members of the student body and even faculty. Including<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">a field your students want to learn more about (for example, Social Entrepreneurship or human centered design) in your I & E workshops and events is a great way to generate students' interest</span></span></span>

== Organization/Logistics ==

When planning your event, it is important that you keep everything organized and well thought out.
