<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>= The History Behind Maker Faire&lt;br/&gt; =<br /> <br /> First launched in 2006 in the Bay Area, Maker Fair is a place where all ages gather to celebrate their own personal passions. You'll find an incredible mix of crafters, engineers and scientists, authors and artists, hobbyists, tech junkies, exhibitionists, and much more. The Maker Faire aspires to bring hands-on activities to showcase what these enthusiasts have made and learned. The event continues to grow. As of 2017, there were over 190 independently-run &quot;Mini Maker Faires&quot; and over 30 &quot;Featured Maker Faires&quot; that have taken place around the world including Tokyo, Shenzhen, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Detroit, Milwaukee, Madison, San Diego and many more.<br /> <br /> Maker Faires showcase and explore new technologies with forward-thinking minds. Engineering, science, art, craft, and performance are all displayed creatively and innovatively at the Maker Faire. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) is also present at the Maker Faire and allows enthusiasts to see the creative projects and ideas that are often not on display. Maker Faire is a product of Maker Media who publishes Make: magazine, Maker Faire, and Maker Shed stores.<br /> <br /> === Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> These three resources (e.g. Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite) are included in the Maker Faire. It will be inferred that these three sub categories will be covered/referred by the use of the strategic resource Maker Faire, as seen in Figure 1.<br /> &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;[[File:FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg|none|FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg]]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Figure 1: Diagram representation of the Maker Faire's fundamental parts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ==== MAKER FAIRE ====<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=RD_JpGgUFQQ}}<br /> <br /> Show case of crazy innovation and creativity. Makes you feel like optimistic, that anything is possible with the power of imagination and surrounding your self with people who believe that same goal!<br /> <br /> ==== MAKE MAGAZINE&lt;br/&gt; ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Maker Magazine.jpg|none|Maker Magazine.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Make Magazine Home Page: [http://makermedia.com http://www.youtube.com/user/makemagazine]<br /> <br /> Make Magazine YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/user/makemagazine http://www.youtube.com/user/makemagazine]<br /> <br /> DIY guides and different projects for different levels of complexity and ages!<br /> <br /> ==== O'REILLY PUBLICATION&lt;br/&gt; ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Oreilly publication.gif|none|Oreilly publication.gif]]<br /> <br /> O’Reilly Publication Home Page: [http://radar.oreilly.com/about http://radar.oreilly.com/about]<br /> <br /> Web-news postings of trending technologies and innovative practices. Analyzes “alpha geeks” behavior to see what they find is interesting, “amplify this signal” and attempts to categorize were they fit in current trends/popularity/ecology.<br /> <br /> === IGNITE ===<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=rRa1IPkBFbg}}<br /> <br /> Ignite Home Page: [http://igniteshow.com/ http://igniteshow.com/]<br /> <br /> Web-presentations at an accelerated pace. Essentially, this is the break down for this ''Rapid Fire Presentation: ''20 slides, 15 seconds each, therefore 20x15= 5 minute presentations<br /> <br /> = MAKER FAIRE =<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> Maker Faire encompasses many aspects that spans a broad spectrum of topics: ranging from the beautiful contraptions, fascinating abstractions, and just plain creativity with out limits. Maker Faire targets all ages and fields of interest, the only requirement is that the participant must show: (1) what they made and, most importantly, (2) what they learned.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The first Maker Faire was launched in the Bay Area in 2006, which attracted many DIY (Do-It-Yourself) communities and aspiring inventors. Since then, and with successes with the NYC show case in 2013, more of these types of events are occurring around the world. Such as Tokyo, Rome, Santiago, and Oslo. These Maker Faires are growing in size every year!<br /> <br /> == What makes the Maker? ==<br /> <br /> Maker or participants of these fairs are vastly DIY'ers (Do-It-Yourself), hobbyist, and enthusiasts. This can span all fields and disciplines, which is not only limited to: arts, engineering, science, and math spanning from amateurs to professionals. These are typically people who love creativity, innovation, and self-fulfillment for a you-never-stop-learning lifestyle.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> <br /> This event allows for a melting pot of creativity and learning. Some of which do become entrepreneurs, but most just enjoy the beauty of the human imagination. Maker Faire allows for a nurturing ground for growing a community with more creative and curious thinkers.<br /> <br /> === Works from the Founder, Dale Dougherty ===<br /> <br /> “I believe we are all makers. We can find all kinds of makers in our communities. Yet we also want to help create more makers. Through education and community outreach, we can offer the opportunity to make things to more people, but particularly children. They might find these opportunities at school but also at community centers, summer camps and science centers, or even at home. My goal is that all people, young and old, come to see themselves as makers, creators and doers because I know that the people who have the skills and knowledge to make things have the power to make the world a better place.” - Dale Dougherty<br /> <br /> = How To Get Involved =<br /> <br /> == How to Create a New Maker Space&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> Follow these steps and see explanation under the headings below: [https://makerfaire.com/global/school/steps-to-make-a-school-maker-faire/ [1]]<br /> <br /> === Describe your Space and Pick a Location: ===<br /> <br /> There are many examples of large and small Maker Faires, each as successful as the last. This community-based learning event inspiring everyone involved to become a maker can take place on your campus, in your community, with smaller interest groups, etc. Therefore, space needs will change between each Maker Faire. Whether this means an outdoor Maker Faire in the community, hosting Mini Maker Faires on campus or off-campus at other schools, or partnering up with surrounding universities/ organizations to make the Maker Faire happen, the options are endless and will change for each individual Maker Faire.<br /> <br /> [[File:Capture.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Assess your Goals: ===<br /> <br /> ''Build a Network of Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Be inclusive of all kinds of making that can be found in the community the Maker Faire is being hosted for. It is important to represent not only scientists and engineers, but to also find the artists, crafters, and other assorted makers that don't fit into any of the categories previously mentioned. This involves reaching out and networking with the community and connecting people through the organization of the event. Look for individuals, groups, institutions, teachers, students, etc.<br /> <br /> ''Create a Showcase of Creative Work:&amp;nbsp;''Establish a core group dedicated to curating the event. Curators need to locate creative work in the community and find ways to showcase that at the Maker Faire. Make it a goal to make visible those ideas and projects people are doing in the community that often are not seen or heard. Find makers who are forward-thinking and are exploring new technologies.<br /> <br /> [[File:Kombucha Dress.jpg|link=https://makezine.com/2018/01/09/edible-innovations-fermented-tea-dresses/]]<br /> <br /> ''Offer Engaging, Hands-on Interaction:&amp;nbsp;''Make the Maker Faire fun for everyone by providing interactive and educational displays. Make this event about participation and sharing and reward makers and onlookers for their sense of curiosity. Try new things, learn how things work, explore why they work, discuss the processes behind making things work, and make it a goal to inspire everyone at the Maker Faire by understanding that we can expand our capabilities.<br /> <br /> ''Support Grassroots Innovation in the Community:&amp;nbsp;''Grassroots innovation fosters in every community and can be found in hobbyists and enthusiasts, or in entripreneurs and start companies that are exploring and creating new products and value. Don't be afraid to celebrate amateurs as they bring a fresh and creative mind in which new ideas can emerge.<br /> <br /> ''All of Us Are Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Everyone is a maker. Maker Faire is a wonderful way to share this with the community and provides an opportunity for people to see themselves as a creative part their community.<br /> <br /> === Considerations and Support:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Four Avenues of Support for the Maker Faire:<br /> <br /> 1. Leadership Team: This co-creative team needs to have passion and vision to organize the makers and showcase their innovation. Preperation and planning are extensive, and the team is responsible to pushing through these stages to the logistics and details as well as running the event and driving towards a successful Maker Faire. Included in the leadership team is the faculty advisor that can help with funding, outreach, licensing, and logistics during planning and the actual event.<br /> <br /> 2. Host Organization: Any scale Maker Faire will need a host or parnter organization. Examples that may bring value include marketing and promotion, payment processing, receiver of money from grants or scholarships, pool of volunteers, access to existing relationships in the community, or groups with relevant experience from hosting events. These organizations can all help the Maker Faire to prosper, but should still allow the event to remain inclusive.<br /> <br /> [[File:Maker-faire-logo.jpg|link=https://makerfaire.com/]]<br /> <br /> 3. Location: As the frame of the event, location is important. Explore options such as indoor and outdoor space with accessible restrooms and sufficient parking. There may be permits required. Also look at convenient access for families and safe surroundings, load-in access for trucks, electricity and internet, and protection in case the weather does not permit.<br /> <br /> 4. Date and Time: Most often, Maker Faires are a one-day, Saturday or Sunday event running in the afternoon hours. As a rule of thumb, allow for six months of planning for an average of 25-makers, or a year for events with 50-100 makers.<br /> <br /> === Assess your Cost: ===<br /> <br /> Resources for a Maker Faire have ranged in cost from $3K to $100K. It is possible to find sponsors or sell tickets, find a host that will cover the cost, or find donations for supplies and equipment. Make a budget as an initial target including the following costs:<br /> <br /> *Venue Rental<br /> *Furniture Rental (Tables and Chairs at the very least)<br /> *Advertising<br /> *Insurance<br /> *Security<br /> *Permits<br /> *Design and Printing of Marketing&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Equipment Rentals<br /> *Fuel<br /> *Website and Social Media<br /> *License Fee<br /> <br /> Some risk factors to consider include weather. Carefully plan and estimate a budget. Devote a core team to tracking costs.<br /> <br /> [[File:MakerFaire2014.png|link=https://makerfaire.com/new-york/]]<br /> <br /> === Choose the Activities:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> ''Events that are open, inclusive, and encouraging.''<br /> <br /> ''Portray makers and the enthusiasm they have behind what they do and how they do it.''<br /> <br /> ''Embraces diversity in content ranging from the arts to the sciences.''<br /> <br /> ''Interactive displays with opportunities for interaction and stimulation.''<br /> <br /> ''Exhibiting innovation rather than competing.''<br /> <br /> ''Leave visitors with a sense of surprise and inspiration.''<br /> <br /> ''Events should continue to grow and develop maker culture.''<br /> <br /> ''[[File:Bay Area Maker Faire.png|link=https://makerfaire.com/bay-area/]]''<br /> <br /> === Applying for a licence:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Before you can officially create a Maker Faire event, you need to apply for a license. The First step to applying is to fill out the online application on the Maker Faire website, which includes questions about yourself and your experience handling organization and events, as well as your intentions for the event. You also need to obtain &quot;pledges of support&quot; from 5 different makers within your community, as well as completing a budget worksheet for your event.<br /> <br /> Once you have filled out all the application documents, you can arrange an online meeting between your team and the Maker Faire team where they can approve your application and execute issuing a licensing agreement.<br /> <br /> === Select Management:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small&quot;&gt;Every successful event needs a good management team to run smoothly and successfully. Because Maker Faire requires extensive preparation, you should select people to be in your management team who are passionate about maker faire, and will be driven by the success of the event.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === Promote and Launch:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small&quot;&gt;What would a Maker Faire be without an audience, or even the makers themselves? The size of your event dictates the amount of promotion required, and how you promote depends on factors like its location. For example getting students interested and informed for a Maker Faire located near or in a University, advertising through Facebook, posters, and the university web page might be the best way to get the word around. Makers might be harder to come across, and may need to be sought out and contacted directly.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> == How to Run a Maker Space ==<br /> <br /> === Space Access and Purpose:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> You need to make sure sure that you have access to enough space for the duration of the event. The amount of space your requires scales to how many makers you are hosting, and how large their productions are. Some makers might have additional requirements, such as a stage for performances, or access to additional secure storage, so ensure that you communicate to your makers to accommodate for them.<br /> <br /> For some larger event, or ones that might last longer, you will need access to toilets facilities and eating facilities, and make sure you communicate to your audience if access to these things is limited.<br /> <br /> === Mentors and Liaisons:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> There are many people out there who can help you organize your event. A lot of people before you have organized similar events, and have likely experienced similar issues that you will. There are also people on the Maker Faire team who are able and willing to help out. Once you quickly sign up to Maker Faire Support through the Maker Faire website, you will be given access to a variety of emails for different people who can help you with almost anything you need.<br /> <br /> === Maintain Engagement:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Make Connections:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Tips and Resources: ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small&quot;&gt;Interested?

It is also about the people who want to attend the event. Focusing resources on attracting Makers is essential to the success of the event, but the Faire must also be marketable to all audiences. By advertising a wide variety of interest subjects (i.e. music, arts, sports, etc.), the Faire will attract a diverse variety of people and create an environment of interest for all.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === Build your Brand:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Ask, “Why is this event going to help our community?” and use the answer to this question as a mission statement. Every successful event develops upon a beneficial idea for the community and its inhabitants. After the foundation is laid, then the brand of the event must be established. With the Maler Faire involving many advanced forms of technology, it would be best to design graphics that deal especially with futuristic applications of projects that will be presented in the Faire. Anything that stands out to the human eye is particularly important in getting people to notice the event. This is where creativity is the most important aspect of spreading awareness.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Once the graphics are created in forms of posters, flyers, and emails, it is time to spread. Take advantage of campus announcement boards and ask to hang up flyers for the event. Ask some of the media resources around campus to include the event in a newspaper or broadcast. Tell some friends about the event and have them share it with their friends and so on. Every University has a variety of ways to spread the news around campus. It is the job of the event hosts to understand that responsibility and use every resource available to spread awareness and peak interests.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === Bring People to your Event:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Part of this task is bringing general audience members to the Faire, but the other part is bringing those who supported the event to it as well. Sponsors who have funded or provided something beneficial for the creation of the Faire should be invited as honorary guests, and some of them may even present themselves as a guest speaker if asked. These honorary guests are most likely going to be experts in the field, which would create incredible networking opportunities for students in attendance (This could also be used as a marketing strategy). This is the chance for students and makers alike to gain knowledge from professionals who have experience, so don’t be shy to ask anybody.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> == Spring 2018 UIF Biographies&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> ==== [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:MickeyThiry User:MickeyThiry] ====<br /> <br /> [[Spencer_Lueckenotto|'''Spencer Lueckenotto''']]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:JamesRyan &lt;b&gt;User:JamesRyan&lt;/b&gt;]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Resources]]</div>

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>== '''Overview''' ==<br /> <br /> [[File:WSU LOGO.png|right|250px|WSU LOGO.png]]<br /> <br /> Wichita State University is a public research university of 15,000 students located in Wichita, Kansas, United States.&amp;nbsp;In April of 2014, the university established its commitment towards an Innovation Campus with the purpose to transform the world through innovation, applied learning, entrepreneurship and economic impact. In line with the school’s vision and its multi-disciplinary concept, Wichita State University is starting to offer new avenues to encourage students and faculty to be innovative while attracting industry partners.<br /> <br /> Wichita State is committed to break down walls and going beyond the books to provide real-world experiences for real-world results. At the same time, it expects to create an environment where risk-taking is encouraged and big ideas can become big business, so it could build new avenues for financial growth while infusing existing industries with the resources needed for future success.<br /> <br /> == '''Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' ==<br /> <br /> Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship is a foundation of Wichita State University’s curriculum and strategic plan. Wichita State holds Kansas’ only entrepreneurship major as well as an entrepreneurship minor for both business and non-business majors, a graduate certificate in entrepreneurship and innovation and an MBA with a focus on entrepreneurship. WSU has expanded its degree opportunities by offering an Innovation Design Masters degree, which started Spring 2016. The schools of Fine Arts, Health Sciences, Business, Honors, and Engineering are offering courses that incorporate entrepreneurship into the foundations of their curriculum.<br /> <br /> Beyond academics, there are several programs encouraging entrepreneurship on campus. Every year students compete in the Shocker New Venture Competition, where winning student groups are awarded startup capital to aid in the launch of their new venture. Students also attend inspirational and informational speaker series focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, and design, such as the Business Booster Series, Shocker Startup Impact, and Lunch and Learn.<br /> <br /> The Wichita State campus is expanding to reflect the innovation and entrepreneurship demands of the economy. In spring of 2017, a new makerspace, located in the Experiential Engineering Building, opened to cater to innovative Wichita State students from all majors and backgrounds. The WSU makerspace has the purpose to be a special place where people can meet, collaborate and make things happen – it is part manufacturing plant, part design studio and part garage workshop. It’s a place where creative people of all ages and skill levels have access to sophisticated equipment and training, shared work spaces and a supportive community.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> [[File:EEB Eagle 560.jpg]]<br /> <br /> == '''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' ==<br /> <br /> Many faculty at Wichita State University identify that the university encourages them to pursue innovation in and out of the classroom. This is becoming increasingly evident through the goals of the university's Strategic Plan. Wichita State University is working towards becoming an innovation university by transforming the world through innovation, applied learning, entrepreneurship, and economic impact.<br /> <br /> WSU defines the following words as:<br /> <br /> '''Innovation'''&amp;nbsp;– Bringing university researchers, students and industry together to share the ideas that will drive change.<br /> <br /> '''Applied Learning'''&amp;nbsp;– Breaking down walls and going beyond the books to provide real-world experience for real-world results.<br /> <br /> '''Entrepreneurship&amp;nbsp;'''– Fostering an environment where risk-taking is encouraged and big ideas can become big business.<br /> <br /> '''Economic Impact'''&amp;nbsp;– Creating new avenues for financial growth while infusing existing industries with the resources needed for future success.<br /> <br /> However, there is a clear sentiment that the incentive system of the university is not in line with promoting innovation through faculty. Faculty members recognize that the money on campus is in traditional research and building the innovation campus rather than on promoting faculty support of innovation and entrepreneurship.<br /> <br /> An exciting new development is the Brenton Myers Innovation in Engineering Education Award. &amp;nbsp;The purpose of this award is to provide funds for College of Engineering faculty to introduce new curriculum that is designed to implement innovative and entrepreneurial methods in the classroom. Although only engineering faculty will have access to these funds, effective strategies that are created by the faculty will be shared with other colleges in the university.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''WSU Ventures''' ==<br /> <br /> WSU offers a unique opportunity to students and individuals in the community through an organization called WSU Ventures. The goal of WSU Ventures is to assist entrepreneurs and upstart companies with having the resources they need in order to flourish. WSU Ventures has multiple services that it provides including research and development opportunities; research lab space; providing expert feedback on ventures; patent application assitance and guidance; as well as searching for investors. These various services offered to entrepreneurs are extremely beneficial in helping to ensure that all steps are covered throughout the product planning and implementation stages for new ventures.<br /> <br /> == '''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function''' ==<br /> <br /> &lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-aafb0876-802d-1bd5-dcd4-e696b455348d&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Many faculty and administration feel that the university’s current IP policy generally favors students and promotes innovation. However, a significant portion of the student body and faculty view the IP policy negatively. Wichita State University’s Technology Transfer has been trying to rectify this. For example, they have begun to question the intellectual property agreement and have opened the discussion to students. Some design-based classes lead students to produce academic creations that could easily be patentable. Technology Transfer has made it a point to speak at some of these classes (Senior Design for Engineering). There are even workshops that help students and faculty understand intellectual property and patent law.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Faculty at Wichita State University are passionate about ensuring that students know the copyright and intellectual property policies. In some courses, professors have a lecture dedicated specifically for these topics and offer additional help to students seeking it. The Wichita State University library also offers workshops, guides, and other tools to make this information easily accessible for students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> == '''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration''' ==<br /> <br /> With the creation and building of the new Innovation Campus, WSU is partnering up with some big industry names to bring collaboration and innovation to its new campus. The goal of such partnerships will be to encourage and improve collaboration and innovation between students and professionals in the industry. The new Innovation Campus will boast multiple Partnership Buildings where companies will be able to lease space and work with WSU students and faculty. These Partnership Buildings will open up a new line of networking between students and industry to provide internship and job opportunities. At the same time, the companies will be able to provide and fund new research and experimental facilities. As a benefit to them, they will be able to recruit new talent continuously.<br /> <br /> Some of the companies and organizations that have already partnered with WSU include Airbus, NetApp, Applied Technology Acceleration Institute, National Institute of Aviation Research (NIAR), Tech Mahindra, iTalent Corp, Youth Entrepreneurs, ABI Group, Koch Industries, Inc., and others. Airbus, for example, has relocated their engineering center in downtown Wichita to the new Innovation Campus. Airbus’ presence on campus allows them to access research, testing labs, student employees, and faculty expertise quickly and easily. With NIAR already present on the campus, Airbus relocating to the new WSU campus will add to the research centers provided to students.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Wichita State is working to facilitate university-industry collaboration at a much more aggressive pace than in the past year due to the need to bring advanced research and experimental facilities for students and faculty. The goal is to transform Wichita State into an innovation-focused university that is partnered with some of the biggest names in the industry. A recent partnership that the new Innovation Campus secured in Spring 2017 was with Boston Consulting Group with the goal of increasing collaboration and to advance the Wichita manufacturing industry.<br /> <br /> Wichita State opened a new law enforcement training center on its innovation campus in January of 2018. The center includes training space and classrooms for the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department, Wichita Police Department, and Criminal Justice students. Students will also greatly benefit from internships, cooperative education and applied learning opportunities through the partnership. The new training center enables the Wichita Police Department to build a partnership with WSU&amp;nbsp;and gives students access to top-notch training and aid in recruitment opportunities.<br /> <br /> '''&lt;span data-reactid=&quot;.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.1&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; transform-style: preserve-3d; backface-visibility: hidden;&quot;&gt;WSU Innovation Campus Master Plan Walkthrough&lt;/span&gt;'''<br /> &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;{{#Widget:Youtube|id=QWz_nNS99iM}}&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> == '''Engaging With Regional &amp; Local Economic Development Efforts''' ==<br /> <br /> Campus outreach with specific industries is very strong. Some of the industries represented more than others are aerospace, manufacturing, and education. In aerospace, the university engages in a mass amount of research for advanced materials, coatings, and general controls design. Wichita hosts the number one industry funded Aerospace research firm in the nation named NIAR (National Institute for Aviation Research). In manufacturing, the university has many researchers who specialize in advanced manufacturing and prototyping with most of these resources being used for Aerospace research. In education, the department reaches out to the schools in Wichita's community to create better teachers and facilities. Unfortunately not all of the industries are represented in the university's outreach, but there is room for improvement.<br /> <br /> == '''Landscape Canvas''' ==<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;'''Google Spreadsheet'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VDLHpMIfUIKNsSHFWEdMuevwmwEyPXPlEuuXo7U-SuM/edit#gid=0 &lt;b&gt;https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VDLHpMIfUIKNsSHFWEdMuevwmwEyPXPlEuuXo7U-SuM/edit#gid=0&lt;/b&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hHxmqjMuQbUTPJMk10fkyWJ8tLQYQxM-BGbUg5QWgJU/edit#gid=0 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hHxmqjMuQbUTPJMk10fkyWJ8tLQYQxM-BGbUg5QWgJU/edit#gid=0]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pMufSvqgyP1fMYxxMW9wIpk1pnP3xtsueITsylnJWEs/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pMufSvqgyP1fMYxxMW9wIpk1pnP3xtsueITsylnJWEs/]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;'''Google Presentation'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Bkny3LY7_kO0MmlMgKrHjbcd3LpXSKaMu_cTBrF6mlg/ https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Bkny3LY7_kO0MmlMgKrHjbcd3LpXSKaMu_cTBrF6mlg/]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> == '''Related Links''' ==<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;'''Wichita State University'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Wichita State University Student Priorities|Wichita State University Student Priorities]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovationfellows.org/ University Innovation Fellows]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Spring 2018 Fellows&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Spencer_Lueckenotto|Spencer Lueckenotto]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kyle_Kopecky Kyle Kopecky]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Jessica_Aldrich Jessica Aldrich]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:WillV William Valentine]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Spring 2017 Fellows&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kelsey_Hanna Kelsey Hanna]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Isaac_Carrillo Isaac Carrillo]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/LeviLowe Levi Lowe]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Mohamed_Moustafa Mohamed Moustafa]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Spring 2016 Fellows&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Jocelyn_Galicia Jocelyn Galicia]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Jesus%20Gomez Jesus Gomez]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/LaRissa%20Lawrie LaRissa Lawrie]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Michael%20Schlesinger Michael Schlesinger]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Caylin%20Wiley Caylin Wiley]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Fall 2015 Fellows&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Wesley Alexis|Wesley Alexis]]<br /> <br /> [[Austin Crane|Austin Crane]]<br /> <br /> [[Hannah Hund|Hannah Hund]]<br /> <br /> [[Kevin Kraus|Kevin Kraus]]<br /> <br /> [[Saad Syed|Saad Syed]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Universities]]</div>

These various services offered to entrepreneurs are extremely beneficial in helping to ensure that all steps are covered throughout the product planning and implementation stages for new ventures.<br /> <br /> == '''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function''' ==<br /> <br /> &lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-aafb0876-802d-1bd5-dcd4-e696b455348d&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Many faculty and administration feel that the university’s current IP policy generally favors students and promotes innovation. However, a significant portion of the student body and faculty view the IP policy negatively. Wichita State University’s Technology Transfer has been trying to rectify this. For example, they have begun to question the intellectual property agreement and have opened the discussion to students. Some design-based classes lead students to produce academic creations that could easily be patentable. Technology Transfer has made it a point to speak at some of these classes (Senior Design for Engineering). There are even workshops that help students and faculty understand intellectual property and patent law.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Faculty at Wichita State University are passionate about ensuring that students know the copyright and intellectual property policies. In some courses, professors have a lecture dedicated specifically for these topics and offer additional help to students seeking it. The Wichita State University library also offers workshops, guides, and other tools to make this information easily accessible for students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> == '''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration''' ==<br /> <br /> With the creation and building of the new Innovation Campus, WSU is partnering up with some big industry names to bring collaboration and innovation to its new campus. The goal of such partnerships will be to encourage and improve collaboration and innovation between students and professionals in the industry. The new Innovation Campus will boast multiple Partnership Buildings where companies will be able to lease space and work with WSU students and faculty. These Partnership Buildings will open up a new line of networking between students and industry to provide internship and job opportunities. At the same time, the companies will be able to provide and fund new research and experimental facilities. As a benefit to them, they will be able to recruit new talent continuously.<br /> <br /> Some of the companies and organizations that have already partnered with WSU include Airbus, NetApp, Applied Technology Acceleration Institute, National Institute of Aviation Research (NIAR), Tech Mahindra, iTalent Corp, Youth Entrepreneurs, ABI Group, Koch Industries, Inc., and others. Airbus, for example, has relocated their engineering center in downtown Wichita to the new Innovation Campus. Airbus’ presence on campus allows them to access research, testing labs, student employees, and faculty expertise quickly and easily. With NIAR already present on the campus, Airbus relocating to the new WSU campus will add to the research centers provided to students.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Wichita State is working to facilitate university-industry collaboration at a much more aggressive pace than in the past year due to the need to bring advanced research and experimental facilities for students and faculty. The goal is to transform Wichita State into an innovation-focused university that is partnered with some of the biggest names in the industry. A recent partnership that the new Innovation Campus secured in Spring 2017 was with Boston Consulting Group with the goal of increasing collaboration and to advance the Wichita manufacturing industry.<br /> <br /> Wichita State opened a new law enforcement training center on its innovation campus in January of 2018. The center includes training space and classrooms for the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department, Wichita Police Department, and Criminal Justice students. Students will also greatly benefit from internships, cooperative education and applied learning opportunities through the partnership. The new training center enables the Wichita Police Department to build a partnership with WSU&amp;nbsp;and gives students access to top-notch training and aid in recruitment opportunities.<br /> <br /> '''&lt;span data-reactid=&quot;.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.1&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; transform-style: preserve-3d; backface-visibility: hidden;&quot;&gt;WSU Innovation Campus Master Plan Walkthrough&lt;/span&gt;'''<br /> &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;{{#Widget:Youtube|id=QWz_nNS99iM}}&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> == '''Engaging With Regional &amp; Local Economic Development Efforts''' ==<br /> <br /> Campus outreach with specific industries is very strong. Some of the industries represented more than others are aerospace, manufacturing, and education. In aerospace, the university engages in a mass amount of research for advanced materials, coatings, and general controls design. Wichita hosts the number one industry funded Aerospace research firm in the nation named NIAR (National Institute for Aviation Research). In manufacturing, the university has many researchers who specialize in advanced manufacturing and prototyping with most of these resources being used for Aerospace research. In education, the department reaches out to the schools in Wichita's community to create better teachers and facilities. Unfortunately not all of the industries are represented in the university's outreach, but there is room for improvement.<br /> <br /> == '''Landscape Canvas''' ==<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;'''Google Spreadsheet'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VDLHpMIfUIKNsSHFWEdMuevwmwEyPXPlEuuXo7U-SuM/edit#gid=0 &lt;b&gt;https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VDLHpMIfUIKNsSHFWEdMuevwmwEyPXPlEuuXo7U-SuM/edit#gid=0&lt;/b&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hHxmqjMuQbUTPJMk10fkyWJ8tLQYQxM-BGbUg5QWgJU/edit#gid=0 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hHxmqjMuQbUTPJMk10fkyWJ8tLQYQxM-BGbUg5QWgJU/edit#gid=0]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pMufSvqgyP1fMYxxMW9wIpk1pnP3xtsueITsylnJWEs/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pMufSvqgyP1fMYxxMW9wIpk1pnP3xtsueITsylnJWEs/]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;'''Google Presentation'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Bkny3LY7_kO0MmlMgKrHjbcd3LpXSKaMu_cTBrF6mlg/ https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Bkny3LY7_kO0MmlMgKrHjbcd3LpXSKaMu_cTBrF6mlg/]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> == '''Related Links''' ==<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;'''Wichita State University'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Wichita State University Student Priorities|Wichita State University Student Priorities]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovationfellows.org/ University Innovation Fellows]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Spring 2018 Fellows&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> [[User:Slueckenotto|Spencer Lueckenotto]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kyle_Kopecky Kyle Kopecky]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Jessica_Aldrich Jessica Aldrich]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:WillV William Valentine]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Spring 2017 Fellows&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kelsey_Hanna Kelsey Hanna]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Isaac_Carrillo Isaac Carrillo]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/LeviLowe Levi Lowe]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Mohamed_Moustafa Mohamed Moustafa]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Spring 2016 Fellows&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Jocelyn_Galicia Jocelyn Galicia]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Jesus%20Gomez Jesus Gomez]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/LaRissa%20Lawrie LaRissa Lawrie]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Michael%20Schlesinger Michael Schlesinger]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Caylin%20Wiley Caylin Wiley]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Fall 2015 Fellows&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Wesley Alexis|Wesley Alexis]]<br /> <br /> [[Austin Crane|Austin Crane]]<br /> <br /> [[Hannah Hund|Hannah Hund]]<br /> <br /> [[Kevin Kraus|Kevin Kraus]]<br /> <br /> [[Saad Syed|Saad Syed]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Universities]]</div>

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>== '''Overview''' ==<br /> <br /> [[File:WSU LOGO.png|right|250px|WSU LOGO.png]]<br /> <br /> Wichita State University is a public research university of 15,000 students located in Wichita, Kansas, United States.&amp;nbsp;In April of 2014, the university established its commitment towards an Innovation Campus with the purpose to transform the world through innovation, applied learning, entrepreneurship and economic impact. In line with the school’s vision and its multi-disciplinary concept, Wichita State University is starting to offer new avenues to encourage students and faculty to be innovative while attracting industry partners.<br /> <br /> Wichita State is committed to break down walls and going beyond the books to provide real-world experiences for real-world results. At the same time, it expects to create an environment where risk-taking is encouraged and big ideas can become big business, so it could build new avenues for financial growth while infusing existing industries with the resources needed for future success.<br /> <br /> == '''Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' ==<br /> <br /> Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship is a foundation of Wichita State University’s curriculum and strategic plan. Wichita State holds Kansas’ only entrepreneurship major as well as an entrepreneurship minor for both business and non-business majors, a graduate certificate in entrepreneurship and innovation and an MBA with a focus on entrepreneurship. WSU has expanded its degree opportunities by offering an Innovation Design Masters degree, which started Spring 2016. The schools of Fine Arts, Health Sciences, Business, Honors, and Engineering are offering courses that incorporate entrepreneurship into the foundations of their curriculum.<br /> <br /> Beyond academics, there are several programs encouraging entrepreneurship on campus. Every year students compete in the Shocker New Venture Competition, where winning student groups are awarded startup capital to aid in the launch of their new venture. Students also attend inspirational and informational speaker series focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, and design, such as the Business Booster Series, Shocker Startup Impact, and Lunch and Learn.<br /> <br /> The Wichita State campus is expanding to reflect the innovation and entrepreneurship demands of the economy. In spring of 2017, a new makerspace, located in the Experiential Engineering Building, opened to cater to innovative Wichita State students from all majors and backgrounds. The WSU makerspace has the purpose to be a special place where people can meet, collaborate and make things happen – it is part manufacturing plant, part design studio and part garage workshop. It’s a place where creative people of all ages and skill levels have access to sophisticated equipment and training, shared work spaces and a supportive community.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> [[File:EEB Eagle 560.jpg]]<br /> <br /> == '''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' ==<br /> <br /> Many faculty at Wichita State University identify that the university encourages them to pursue innovation in and out of the classroom. This is becoming increasingly evident through the goals of the university's Strategic Plan. Wichita State University is working towards becoming an innovation university by transforming the world through innovation, applied learning, entrepreneurship, and economic impact.<br /> <br /> WSU defines the following words as:<br /> <br /> '''Innovation'''&amp;nbsp;– Bringing university researchers, students and industry together to share the ideas that will drive change.<br /> <br /> '''Applied Learning'''&amp;nbsp;– Breaking down walls and going beyond the books to provide real-world experience for real-world results.<br /> <br /> '''Entrepreneurship&amp;nbsp;'''– Fostering an environment where risk-taking is encouraged and big ideas can become big business.<br /> <br /> '''Economic Impact'''&amp;nbsp;– Creating new avenues for financial growth while infusing existing industries with the resources needed for future success.<br /> <br /> However, there is a clear sentiment that the incentive system of the university is not in line with promoting innovation through faculty. Faculty members recognize that the money on campus is in traditional research and building the innovation campus rather than on promoting faculty support of innovation and entrepreneurship.<br /> <br /> An exciting new development is the Brenton Myers Innovation in Engineering Education Award. &amp;nbsp;The purpose of this award is to provide funds for College of Engineering faculty to introduce new curriculum that is designed to implement innovative and entrepreneurial methods in the classroom. Although only engineering faculty will have access to these funds, effective strategies that are created by the faculty will be shared with other colleges in the university.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''WSU Ventures''' ==<br /> <br /> WSU offers a unique opportunity to students and individuals in the community through an organization called WSU Ventures. The goal of WSU Ventures is to assist entrepreneurs and upstart companies with having the resources they need in order to flourish. WSU Ventures has multiple services that it provides including research and development opportunities; research lab space; providing expert feedback on ventures; patent application assitance and guidance; as well as searching for investors. These various services offered to entrepreneurs are extremely beneficial in helping to ensure that all steps are covered throughout the product planning and implementation stages for new ventures.<br /> <br /> == '''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function''' ==<br /> <br /> &lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-aafb0876-802d-1bd5-dcd4-e696b455348d&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Many faculty and administration feel that the university’s current IP policy generally favors students and promotes innovation.

The idea is that with the addition of a few key resources targeted towards students with families we could create an environment that allows for them to spend more time on campus while also catering to their family's needs.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Isaac Carrillo'''<br /> <br /> Tactic #2: Introduce Students to an Entrepreunerial Mindset early on.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Freshman are often eager to apply themselves but lack direction. They feel the doubts and uncertainty of the work load ahead bearing down on their shoulders and this causes them to let go of their dreams for beginning something. Starting a club/organization has many similar characteristics to starting up a business and thus would be very beneficial for students to due. By encouraging these start-ups, we begin to empower students to overcome their fear which in turn will grant them success. The end goal is to develop a system by which it is easy to&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> 1) Educate the students on the simplicity of the process of starting a club on campus.<br /> <br /> 2) Assist them to nurture their ideas by providing them substantial aid through: faculty, resources, and &lt;font face=&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;encouragment&lt;/font&gt;.<br /> <br /> 3) Guide them through the process of sustaining an organization. (Teaching and handing down leadership)<br /> <br /> To do this we will need to gain much knowledge in the area by:<br /> <br /> *Forming a database of Faculty willing to help start student organizations/clubs.<br /> *Educating ourselves in the process of starting clubs and familiarizing ourselves with important advisors.<br /> *Developing a way to become easily accessible to the student body. (A link on the WSU homepage?)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Tactic #3: Create More Hangout Spaces for Students to &quot;Lounge&quot; In<br /> <br /> Some of the best ideas and greatest of memories are made in the outdoors. Something about the sunshine sparks some great conversation. With our innate love of fresh air it only makes sense to create more spaces to hang around outside. What better than a hammock for one to &quot;hang&quot; with friends? This idea has two bases. The first being Rock Hurst University in Kansas City which hosts several large hammocks all around campus that students are always in. The second base was a senior UIF member from a college in North Dakota. He started his club with 10 members and ended with nearly 300 participants. This culture of leisure is something that may combat the commuter culture at Wichita State. By starting a Hammocking Club we will&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> 1) Effectively Prototype Tactic #2 and gain knowledge in how to better implement it<br /> <br /> 2) Create an outdoors-focused culture at Wichita State<br /> <br /> To create this &quot;Hammocking Culture&quot; we will have to<br /> <br /> *Start the club and do everything that goes with that process. &amp;nbsp;<br /> *Find funding/support from companies and the university.<br /> *Fundraise<br /> *Advertise<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Strategy 2: Increasing First Year Student Retention''' ==<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Mohamed Moustafa'''<br /> <br /> One of the main problems facing first year students is uncertainty choosing a field of study or a major to pursue, this applies directly to undecided students but also impacts a great population of freshman students who are decided yet dubious. Through our journey as UIF candidates we had the opportunity to interview freshman students and we found that they are mostly unaware of the wide range of university major offerings. Making students more aware of majors available and career opportunities in each field can make them more likely to commit to finishing their degree and counteract 'first year drop off'. Another very useful startegy for freshman retention that we uncovered through our discussion with several faculty and staff leaders is student-faculty engagement outside of class. Increasing this engagement helps create a home-away-from-home feeling for students which increases their attachment to the university and improves their academic performance, hence increasing retention. Following these discoveries, we developed two intiatives that focus on increasing student-faculty collisions and students' awareness of university offerings.<br /> <br /> '''Initiative #1: Engaging Faculty in Freshman Student Orientation'''<br /> <br /> *Invite introductory course faculty to attend lunch &amp; dinner with students during orientation (Pilot program)<br /> *Include faculty as participants in team building and ice-breaker events<br /> *Run faculty &amp; student focus groups pertaining to engagement<br /> *Add mini-intros to different fields of study throughout orientation<br /> *Include activity introducing WSU major offerings/resources to orientation<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Initiative #2: Welcome Week Majors Fair'''<br /> <br /> *Organize a fair as part of Welcome Fest<br /> *Departments host tables and promote their available majors &amp; minors<br /> *Faculty interact with students and answer questions<br /> *Invite alumni to represent departments and talk about their beyond school experience<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Strategy 3: Alter the campus culture through curriculum''' ==<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Kelsey Hanna'''<br /> <br /> Tactic #1: Design thinking pop up classes.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> Pop-Up series classes offered across majors and disciplines led by UIF members to teach design thinking concepts to both student and faculty with the ultimate goal of having design thinking concepts integrated across campus. This would boulster the campus innovation and entrepreneurial mindsight while simultaneously allowing a new approach to education that is both exciting and useful in industry positions.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Kevin Kraus'''<br /> <br /> Tactic #1: Introduce students to design courses early on.<br /> <br /> Selected Topics in Design is an aerospace engineering course that offers sophomore and junior honors students the opportunity to work side-by-side with the aerospace engineering students enrolled in their senior design course. &amp;nbsp;Creating parallel courses in the other engineering departments would help form a foundation in design earlier on in a student’s academic career.<br /> <br /> *Speak with faculty of senior design courses to gauge feasibility&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Discuss the option of these courses fulfilling Engineer of 2020 requirement&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Create first revision of curriculum&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Begin offering these courses<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Tactic #2: Offer interdisciplinary design courses.<br /> <br /> Interdisciplinary work allows students the opportunity to gain new perspectives of how their majors interact with other majors in the business world. &amp;nbsp;A design course that involved business and engineering majors and emphasized product lifecycle management would expose the students to different mindsets and a more holistic understanding of how an idea or solution is created out of an initial design and eventually marketed. &amp;nbsp;This course could also facilitate community business partners that offer real world problems for the students to undertake as their design project.<br /> <br /> *Find a faculty member interested in teaching the course<br /> *Determine if this course could satisfy senior design requirements<br /> *Identify community businesses interested in a partnership<br /> *Create first revision of curriculum<br /> *Begin offering the course<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Michael Schlesinger, Caylin Wiley, Jesus Gomez and LaRissa Lawrie'''<br /> <br /> Tactic #3:&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.36px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Rethinking Senior Design Courses&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> *&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.36px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Interdisciplinary Senior Design Teams:&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.36px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Through our stakeholder meeting, we have understood that some departments won't give up their requirements when dealing with Senior Design, specially the engineering departments. However, we talked about the possibility of creating indepedent teams in different colleges when students start their senior year or project. Then, the goal was to create a link or collaboration between those groups and develop a company model between them. For example, we talked about the possibility about creating a group of aerospace engineers who will be in charge of the airplane design, electrical engineers about the circuits required, mechanical engineers dealing with engines, business to create a business model or marketing to investigate if there will be a profit, art and communication majors to create the brand, visual design and publicity. The combinations are limitless.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> *&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 15.36px; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Involving Employers&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;Many students strive to network with employers early on in their college careers. However, lack of opportunities often leaves students wanting more interactions than they get. One way we can change this is by allowing students the opportunity to involve employers in their senior design project. While some colleges already incorporate this idea, it is limited to specific colleges and few employers. Connecting employers with students provides benefits to both side. Students have the chance to obtain real world experience with employers and the problems they face. Employers then have the opportunity to utilize a senior design team to help them resolve an issue within their company. Allowing students and employers to work side by side in senior design projects would help prepare students for their future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> *&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(20, 24, 35); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.94px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Workshops to help Senior Design students&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> Some students have the drive to turn their senior design projects into something more. The students we interviewed where looking for resources on how to take a research project and turn it into a viable business or patentable product. The first step to accomplishing this and changing curriculum is to empower students. Part of this tactic is giving students the equivalent of a pop class workshop on senior design classes. Talks are occurring with the research institutes on campus about funding and structural support. The workshops will be designed to take students through the stages of design thinking and prepare students with the lean startup model. The current plan is to hold the workshops three times a semester.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Overview:'''<br /> <br /> As one fo the the leading contributers to the Tech Transfer and Research Development schools in the State of Kansas it is important for Wichita State University to continue to push for new methods of encourageing students and to provide opportunities to broaden their intellectual development. By setting in place initiatives that would help facilitate more innovative business models, students could then begin to explore the potentials of their academic course material and truly begin understanding the implecations to their education.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> It is through the social interactions between student to student contributors, faculty to student advisement, and business to student relationships that as a Univesity the cultural development will shift from faculty driven research and development to that of the entire University body working in cotangent towards a more dynamic expereince.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Strategy 4: Shocker Startup, a student organization to promote entrepreneurship across the campus and community''' ==<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Hannah Hund'''<br /> <br /> '''Team: LaRissa Lawrie, Wesley Alexis'''<br /> <br /> Tactic #1: Connect ICT<br /> <br /> [[File:12719342 1651546498441839 7502236181105147750 o.jpg|thumb|12719342 1651546498441839 7502236181105147750 o.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Students want to collaborate on projects with people from different disciplines, but do not have a venue to interact with students from other programs or interested community members. Connect ICT is a networking event hosted by Shocker Startup designed to create meaningful collisions between students from different disciplines and the community. Students will share their project idea to a student and community member audience stating what they want to do and what they need to accomplish their goals. Members of the audience with a different backgrounds and access to resources are encouraged to approach presenting students and form teams or partnerships.<br /> <br /> Tactic #2: Shocker Startup Impact<br /> <br /> [[File:Shocker Startup Logo Cropped.jpg|thumb|Shocker Startup Logo Cropped.jpg]]<br /> <br /> The Impact Speaker Series will host speakers that provide information and inspiration to encourage entrepreneurship in the student population and Wichita community.

Students value their time more than they value anything and creating an online environment that they can search and post their needs will help save them time and give them multiple options to choose from.<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;Short term tactics:<br /> <br /> *poll students and see what the need is for resources and founding members<br /> *poll current startups from the community that have found success and failure and see what could have helped them in the early stage of their startup<br /> *create a minimum viable product with a local startup<br /> <br /> Long term tactics:<br /> <br /> *look at marketing to a global audience<br /> *implement it in other universities<br /> *create an app?<br /> *create a network within ACE or other organizations<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The following link directs to the online environment previously mentioned:<br /> <br /> [http://thestartuphq.com/ http://thestartuphq.com/]<br /> <br /> == '''Strategy 7: Improve and Initiate New Avenues of Inspiration and Innovation''' ==<br /> <br /> '''Tactic #1 Unconference'''<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Levi Lowe'''<br /> <br /> There are no limits to individual creativity given a safe space to work and show off projects/hobbies. I believe that given a space to design in, and a group of individuals to support the mission, a mindset geared towards innovation and entrepreneurship can be instilled in each and every one of the individuals that step foot on campus here at WSU. We can achieve this and more through an unconference. Unconferences are events run by participants. Attendees set the agenda for what’s discussed, lead the sessions and workshops that fill the schedule, and create an environment of innovation and productive discussion. By creating open events geared towards showing off projects and hobbies, I believe that we can instill a sense of community and support among students and faculty.<br /> <br /> Some of the key concepts behind the unconference would be:<br /> <br /> *Come and go event scheduled by the participants showcasing.<br /> *Anything goes. Students can show off projects they are working on, sell handmade friendship bracelets, or have a Nintendo Smash Brothers tournament.<br /> *Student organizations could host tables showcasing their groups.<br /> *General areas of interest such as: Hobbies, Projects, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship concepts.<br /> *Possibly invite community business leaders to judge/sponsor entrepreneurship ideas.<br /> <br /> &lt;br/&gt;'''Tactic #2: TEDx Events'''<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Saad Syed'''&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> To inspire students with new ideas is a challenge that will always be ever evolving. At the same time there will always be resources available to organizations to help spark inspiration and innovation. We have identified one such event to be as evolving as the challenge itself. We believe starting a tradition of hosting a TedX event every year for all students will help create that culture of inspiration and innovation.<br /> <br /> Short Term Tactics to Implement Strategy<br /> <br /> *Interview students of all discipline to gather data on ideas and topics for TedX event.<br /> *Research logistics of hosting TedX and similar events.<br /> *Engage administration to help facilitate event.<br /> <br /> &lt;br/&gt;Long Term Tactics to Implement Strategy<br /> <br /> *Develop a plan for future fellows to take ownership of organizing and hosting event each year.<br /> *Develop plan to host smaller similar inspiration events throughout school year.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == '''Strategy 8: WSU Ignite, an event that will excite students about innovation and familiarize them with the innovation and entrepreneurship resources that surround them''' ==<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;'''Project Lead: Jocelyn Galicia'''<br /> <br /> WSU Ignite is an event that will be held on campus over a span of two days. There are four main components to the event; a small scale music festival, film festival, startup competition, and a technology trade and demo show. The music and film components offer a choice of entertainment for students and encourage students that have no interest in innovation to attend. The other two components serve to transform the local and regional perception of WSU and create a campus culture shift that inspires students to think more innovatively. This will be done by showcasing and celebrating the amazing talents, resources, and current innovation occuring at WSU and all around the Wichita area. Overall, the event will serve as a flagship event for the new innovation campus.<br /> <br /> Short Term Tactics:<br /> <br /> *Gather a minimum of &amp;nbsp;500 survey responses to demonstrate a need for an event such as this.&amp;nbsp;<br /> **Survey Link: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1EFe1cuAQdntrcnvTi3dU6n_lPSL8wPEgYhI-_JzxCTg/viewform https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1EFe1cuAQdntrcnvTi3dU6n_lPSL8wPEgYhI-_JzxCTg/viewform]<br /> *Acquire a minimum of 1000 petition signatures.<br /> *Seek out sponsor support<br /> *Create a presentation for the proposition of the event<br /> *Have the event approved by WSU stakeholders<br /> *Seek out a group of motivated individuals to assist in event planning.<br /> *Sign up volunteers for the event<br /> *Create marketing materials<br /> *Plan out logistics and itinerary<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Long Term Tactics:<br /> <br /> *Begin planning for the next year<br /> *Gather feedback from attendees to improve event<br /> *Create a committee and assign roles to ensure the event is held for years to come.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy 9: Increasing about the plethora of I&amp;E resources on campus&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === '''Tactic #1: Wu-Invent App'''&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Kyle Kopecky and Will Valentine'''<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;A single app that brings together various silos of innovation and entreprenuership across campus in one cohesive space. Attending classes on the &quot;Innovation Campus&quot; at WSU, students have the desire to work across disciplines to create and innovate their every day lives. However, most are not aware of the vast resources that are at their disposal. Wu-Invent is a single app that will bring together the resources from every department across campus including engineering, business, the library, and more to increase student awareness and subsequently increase involvement in I&amp;E.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === '''Tactic #2: Wu Shocks Innovation Nation: The Orientation Experience'''&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Jessica Aldrich'''<br /> <br /> As WSU promotes the current additions to the university as the &quot;Innovation Campus,&quot; students deserve to be involved in innovation culture from the moment they step on campus. During the mandatory orientation students would participate in Wu-Shocks Innovation Nation Design Experience. Students from every college are grouped together and tasked with helping Wu travel across campus, using all of the resources at their disposal along the way. After completion of the challenge, students would tour the campus and have the chance to se the resources first hand, tying their experience to the physical location of the resource.<br /> <br /> == Strategy 10: Encouraging student involvement within I&amp;E opportunities on campus ==<br /> <br /> === '''Tactic #1: Wichita Maker Faire''' ===<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Spencer Lueckenotto'''<br /> <br /> Maker Faires are popular across the country, allowing individuals of all ages to come together to share I&amp;E ideas with like-minded individuals.To ou knowledge, an event like this has never been done in Wichita or the surrounding areas. Hosting this event on campus would bring students and community members together in a unique space to share and collaborate on ideas. Strategy 11: Community Engagement and Involvement = Strategy 11: Community Engagement and Involvement.<br /> <br /> === Tactic #2: Innovation Curriculum&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Mohd Sabra'''<br /> <br /> &lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;Many of the engineering degrees at WSU require a senior design or capstone course that allows students to create an innovative product or process to meet needs within their field of study. However, outside of these courses, students in other disciplines do not have the same opportunity. By implementing an innovation centered curriculum, students across campus would be encouraged/required to participate in an Innovation Project. Multidisciplinary teams would work with mentors (faculty and industry professionals) on developing an innovative idea that would be presented at the Shocker New Venture Competition, or other similar events on campus. Outside of this, the teams would be judged/graded by their mentors and would receive course credit for the work. &lt;/span&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;<br /> <br /> == Strategy 11: Community Engagement and Involvement&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === '''Tactic #1: ICT Innovation Monday''' ===<br /> <br /> '''Project Lead: Austin Nordyke'''<br /> <br /> For being a commuter-driven campus, WSU has little involvement with the surrounding community of Wichita. I&amp;E opportunities that encourage collaboration between community members and WSU students, such as GoCreate, have flourished due to the cross-community incubator it has become. However, these spaces are few and far between. ICT Innovation Monday would open doors of local entrepreneurs and major corporations alike for students to learn about innovation and share their own ideas. Out of these collaborations, students would be exposed to new ideas and processes, be able to meet potential mentors and employers, and find like-minded individuals to pursue their ideas with.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy 12: Encourage Students to Embrace the Spirit of Innovation&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === Tactic #1: [IN]novation&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-536e-9c53-20d8-b15e6ea62058&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; orphans: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;For students to embrace a culture and truly feel like they are a part of something, you have to set a precedent from day 1. As potential new shockers visit WSU they have the opportunity to experience campus and the future that may lie ahead for them. [IN]nnovation is an initiative focused on potential new students and giving them a taste of what WSU is really about. During their campus visit, students will receive a 1in by 1in plastic square. On that square, they are asked to write their biggest hope for college on one side, and their biggest fear on the other. After their visit, the “token” is collected and stored until the beginning of semester. Students who are admitted and enrolled at WSU will have their “token” given to a student artist who will be charged with the responsibility of creating a work of art showcasing the hopes of all of the tokens combined. The fears will be to the inside of the work, with the idea in mind that as one part of a greater whole, the students can overcome any adversity and accomplish their biggest hopes and dreams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> = &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;Related Links&lt;/span&gt; =<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[[Wichita State University|Wichita State University]]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;'''Wichita State University Student Priorities'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovationfellows.org/ University Innovation Fellows]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;Spring 2018 Fellows&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Slueckenotto|&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;Spencer Lueckenotto&lt;/span&gt;]]<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kyle_Kopecky Kyle Kopecky]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Jessica_Aldrich Jessica Aldrich]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/William_Valentine William Valentine]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;Spring 2017 Fellows&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kelsey_Hanna Kelsey Hanna]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Isaac_Carrillo Isaac Carrillo]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Mohamed_Moustafa Mohamed Moustafa]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/LeviLowe Levi Lowe]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;Spring 2016 Fellows&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/Jesus%20Gomez Jesus Gomez]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/LaRissa%20Lawrie LaRissa Lawrie]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/Caylin%20Wiley Caylin Wiley]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/Michael%20Schlesinger Michael Schlesinger]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Jocelyn_Galicia Jocelyn Galicia]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;Fall 2015 Fellows&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[[Wesley Alexis|Wesley Alexis]]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[[Austin Crane|Austin Crane]]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[[Hannah Hund|Hannah Hund]]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[[Kevin Kraus|Kevin Kraus]]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:smaller;&quot;&gt;[[Saad Syed|Saad Syed]]&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Priorities|W]]</div>

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:UY3A6850111.jpg]]I am a current first-year freshman at Wichita State University pursuing a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. I grew up in Raymore, MO (Kansas City area) and attended the Ray-Pec Scholl District. During this time, I was heavily involved with golf and soccer, while also partaking in many clubs and organizations that my school offered.

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>= The History Behind Maker Faire&lt;br/&gt; =<br /> <br /> First launched in 2006 in the Bay Area, Maker Fair is a place where all ages gather to celebrate their own personal passions. You'll find an incredible mix of crafters, engineers and scientists, authors and artists, hobbyists, tech junkies, exhibitionists, and much more. The Maker Faire aspires to bring hands-on activities to showcase what these enthusiasts have made and learned. The event continues to grow. As of 2017, there were over 190 independently-run &quot;Mini Maker Faires&quot; and over 30 &quot;Featured Maker Faires&quot; that have taken place around the world including Tokyo, Shenzhen, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Detroit, Milwaukee, Madison, San Diego and many more.<br /> <br /> Maker Faires showcase and explore new technologies with forward-thinking minds. Engineering, science, art, craft, and performance are all displayed creatively and innovatively at the Maker Faire. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) is also present at the Maker Faire and allows enthusiasts to see the creative projects and ideas that are often not on display. Maker Faire is a product of Maker Media who publishes Make: magazine, Maker Faire, and Maker Shed stores.<br /> <br /> === Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> These three resources (e.g. Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite) are included in the Maker Faire.

Maker Faire targets all ages and fields of interest, the only requirement is that the participant must show: (1) what they made and, most importantly, (2) what they learned.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The first Maker Faire was launched in the Bay Area in 2006, which attracted many DIY (Do-It-Yourself) communities and aspiring inventors. Since then, and with successes with the NYC show case in 2013, more of these types of events are occurring around the world. Such as Tokyo, Rome, Santiago, and Oslo. These Maker Faires are growing in size every year!<br /> <br /> == What makes the Maker? ==<br /> <br /> Maker or participants of these fairs are vastly DIY'ers (Do-It-Yourself), hobbyist, and enthusiasts. This can span all fields and disciplines, which is not only limited to: arts, engineering, science, and math spanning from amateurs to professionals. These are typically people who love creativity, innovation, and self-fulfillment for a you-never-stop-learning lifestyle.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> <br /> This event allows for a melting pot of creativity and learning. Some of which do become entrepreneurs, but most just enjoy the beauty of the human imagination. Maker Faire allows for a nurturing ground for growing a community with more creative and curious thinkers.<br /> <br /> === Works from the Founder, Dale Dougherty ===<br /> <br /> “I believe we are all makers. We can find all kinds of makers in our communities. Yet we also want to help create more makers. Through education and community outreach, we can offer the opportunity to make things to more people, but particularly children. They might find these opportunities at school but also at community centers, summer camps and science centers, or even at home. My goal is that all people, young and old, come to see themselves as makers, creators and doers because I know that the people who have the skills and knowledge to make things have the power to make the world a better place.” - Dale Dougherty<br /> <br /> = How To Get Involved =<br /> <br /> == How to Create a New Maker Space&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === Describe your Space and Pick a Location: ===<br /> <br /> There are many examples of large and small Maker Faires, each as successful as the last. This community-based learning event inspiring everyone involved to become a maker can take place on your campus, in your community, with smaller interest groups, etc. Therefore, space needs will change between each Maker Faire. Whether this means an outdoor Maker Faire in the community, hosting Mini Maker Faires on campus or off-campus at other schools, or partnering up with surrounding universities/ organizations to make the Maker Faire happen, the options are endless and will change for each individual Maker Faire.<br /> <br /> [[File:Capture.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Assess your Goals: ===<br /> <br /> ''Build a Network of Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Be inclusive of all kinds of making that can be found in the community the Maker Faire is being hosted for. It is important to represent not only scientists and engineers, but to also find the artists, crafters, and other assorted makers that don't fit into any of the categories previously mentioned. This involves reaching out and networking with the community and connecting people through the organization of the event. Look for individuals, groups, institutions, teachers, students, etc.<br /> <br /> ''Create a Showcase of Creative Work:&amp;nbsp;''Establish a core group dedicated to curating the event. Curators need to locate creative work in the community and find ways to showcase that at the Maker Faire. Make it a goal to make visible those ideas and projects people are doing in the community that often are not seen or heard. Find makers who are forward-thinking and are exploring new technologies.<br /> <br /> ''Offer Engaging, Hands-on Interaction:&amp;nbsp;''Make the Maker Faire fun for everyone by providing interactive and educational displays. Make this event about participation and sharing and reward makers and onlookers for their sense of curiosity. Try new things, learn how things work, explore why they work, discuss the processes behind making things work, and make it a goal to inspire everyone at the Maker Faire by understanding that we can expand our capabilities.<br /> <br /> ''Support Grassroots Innovation in the Community:&amp;nbsp;''Grassroots innovation fosters in every community and can be found in hobbyists and enthusiasts, or in entripreneurs and start companies that are exploring and creating new products and value. Don't be afraid to celebrate amateurs as they bring a fresh and creative mind in which new ideas can emerge.<br /> <br /> ''All of Us Are Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Everyone is a maker. Maker Faire is a wonderful way to share this with the community and provides an opportunity for people to see themselves as a creative part their community.<br /> <br /> === Considerations and Support:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Four Avenues of Support for the Maker Faire:<br /> <br /> 1. Leadership Team: This co-creative team needs to have passion and vision to organize the makers and showcase their innovation. Preperation and planning are extensive, and the team is responsible to pushing through these stages to the logistics and details as well as running the event and driving towards a successful Maker Faire. Included in the leadership team is the faculty advisor that can help with funding, outreach, licensing, and logistics during planning and the actual event.<br /> <br /> 2. Host Organization: Any scale Maker Faire will need a host or parnter organization. Examples that may bring value include marketing and promotion, payment processing, receiver of money from grants or scholarships, pool of volunteers, access to existing relationships in the community, or groups with relevant experience from hosting events. These organizations can all help the Maker Faire to prosper, but should still allow the event to remain inclusive.<br /> <br /> 3. Location: As the frame of the event, location is important. Explore options such as indoor and outdoor space with accessible restrooms and sufficient parking. There may be permits required. Also look at convenient access for families and safe surroundings, load-in access for trucks, electricity and internet, and protection in case the weather does not permit.<br /> <br /> 4. Date and Time: Most often, Maker Faires are a one-day, Saturday or Sunday event running in the afternoon hours. As a rule of thumb, allow for six months of planning for an average of 25-makers, or a year for events with 50-100 makers.<br /> <br /> === Assess your Cost: ===<br /> <br /> Resources for a Maker Faire have ranged in cost from $3K to $100K. It is possible to find sponsors or sell tickets, find a host that will cover the cost, or find donations for supplies and equipment. Make a budget as an initial target including the following costs:<br /> <br /> *Venue Rental<br /> *Furniture Rental (Tables and Chairs at the very least)<br /> *Advertising<br /> *Insurance<br /> *Security<br /> *Permits<br /> *Design and Printing of Marketing&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Equipment Rentals<br /> *Fuel<br /> *Website and Social Media<br /> *License Fee<br /> <br /> Some risk factors to consider include weather. Carefully plan and estimate a budget. Devote a core team to tracking costs.<br /> <br /> === Choose the Activities:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> ''Events that are open, inclusive, and encouraging.''<br /> <br /> ''Portray makers and the enthusiasm they have behind what they do and how they do it.''<br /> <br /> ''Embraces diversity in content ranging from the arts to the sciences.''<br /> <br /> ''Interactive displays with opportunities for interaction and stimulation.''<br /> <br /> ''Exhibiting innovation rather than competing.''<br /> <br /> ''Leave visitors with a sense of surprise and inspiration.''<br /> <br /> ''Events should continue to grow and develop maker culture.''<br /> <br /> === Round up the Materials:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Select Management:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Every successful event needs a good managment team to run smoothly and successfully. Because Maker Faire requires extensive preparation, you should select people to be in your managment team who are passionate about maker faire, and will be driven by the success of the event.<br /> <br /> === Promote and Launch:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> What would a Maker Faire be without an audience, or even the makers themselves? The size of your event dictates the amount of promotion required, and how you promote depends on factors like its location. For example getting students interested and informed for a Maker Faire located near or in a University, advertising through facebook, posters, and the university webpage might be the best way to get the word around. Makers might be harder to come across, and may need to be sought out and contacted directly.<br /> <br /> == How to Run a Maker Space ==<br /> <br /> === Space Access and Purpose:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Mentors and Liaisons:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Maintain Engagement:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Make Connections:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Tips and Resources: ===<br /> <br /> Guidelines and Resources: [https://makerfaire.com/global/school/guidelines-resources-and-requirements/]<br /> <br /> Interested?

It is also about the people who want to attend the event. Focusing resources on attracting Makers is essential to the success of the event, but the Faire must also be marketable to all audiences. By advertising a wide variety of interest subjects (i.e. music, arts, sports, etc.), the Faire will attract a diverse variety of people and create an environment of interest for all.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === Build your Brand:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Ask, “Why is this event going to help our community?” and use the answer to this question as a mission statement. Every successful event develops upon a beneficial idea for the community and its inhabitants. After the foundation is laid, then the brand of the event must be established. With the Maler Faire involving many advanced forms of technology, it would be best to design graphics that deal especially with futuristic applications of projects that will be presented in the Faire. Anything that stands out to the human eye is particularly important in getting people to notice the event. This is where creativity is the most important aspect of spreading awareness.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Once the graphics are created in forms of posters, flyers, and emails, it is time to spread. Take advantage of campus announcement boards and ask to hang up flyers for the event. Ask some of the media resources around campus to include the event in a newspaper or broadcast. Tell some friends about the event and have them share it with their friends and so on. Every University has a variety of ways to spread the news around campus. It is the job of the event hosts to understand that responsibility and use every resource available to spread awareness and peak interests.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Bring People to your Event:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Part of this task is bringing general audience members to the Faire, but the other part is bringing those who supported the event to it as well. Sponsors who have funded or provided something beneficial for the creation of the Faire should be invited as honorary guests, and some of them may even present themselves as a guest speaker if asked. These honorary guests are most likely going to be experts in the field, which would create incredible networking opportunities for students in attendance (This could also be used as a marketing strategy). This is the chance for students and makers alike to gain knowledge from professionals who have experience, so don’t be shy to ask anybody.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> == Spring 2018 UIF Biographies&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> ==== [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:MickeyThiry User:MickeyThiry] ====<br /> <br /> '''[[User:Slueckenotto|User]]'''[[User:Slueckenotto|''':Slueckenotto''']]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Resources]]</div>

It is also about the people who want to attend the event. Focusing resources on attracting Makers is essential to the success of the event, but the Faire must also be marketable to all audiences. By advertising a wide variety of interest subjects (i.e. music, arts, sports, etc.), the Faire will attract a diverse variety of people and create an environment of interest for all.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === Build your Brand:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Ask, “Why is this event going to help our community?” and use the answer to this question as a mission statement. Every successful event develops upon a beneficial idea for the community and its inhabitants. After the foundation is laid, then the brand of the event must be established. With the Maler Faire involving many advanced forms of technology, it would be best to design graphics that deal especially with futuristic applications of projects that will be presented in the Faire. Anything that stands out to the human eye is particularly important in getting people to notice the event. This is where creativity is the most important aspect of spreading awareness.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Once the graphics are created in forms of posters, flyers, and emails, it is time to spread. Take advantage of campus announcement boards and ask to hang up flyers for the event. Ask some of the media resources around campus to include the event in a newspaper or broadcast. Tell some friends about the event and have them share it with their friends and so on. Every University has a variety of ways to spread the news around campus. It is the job of the event hosts to understand that responsibility and use every resource available to spread awareness and peak interests.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Bring People to your Event:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Part of this task is bringing general audience members to the Faire, but the other part is bringing those who supported the event to it as well. Sponsors who have funded or provided something beneficial for the creation of the Faire should be invited as honorary guests, and some of them may even present themselves as a guest speaker if asked. These honorary guests are most likely going to be experts in the field, which would create incredible networking opportunities for students in attendance (This could also be used as a marketing strategy). This is the chance for students and makers alike to gain knowledge from professionals who have experience, so don’t be shy to ask anybody.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === Media Outreach:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> == Spring 2018 UIF Biographies&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> ==== [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:MickeyThiry User:MickeyThiry] ====<br /> <br /> '''[[User:Slueckenotto|User]]'''[[User:Slueckenotto|''':Slueckenotto''']]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Resources]]</div>

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>= The History Behind Maker Faire&lt;br/&gt; =<br /> <br /> First launched in 2006 in the Bay Area, Maker Fair is a place where all ages gather to celebrate their own personal passions. You'll find an incredible mix of crafters, engineers and scientists, authors and artists, hobbyists, tech junkies, exhibitionists, and much more. The Maker Faire aspires to bring hands-on activities to showcase what these enthusiasts have made and learned. The event continues to grow. As of 2017, there were over 190 independently-run &quot;Mini Maker Faires&quot; and over 30 &quot;Featured Maker Faires&quot; that have taken place around the world including Tokyo, Shenzhen, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Detroit, Milwaukee, Madison, San Diego and many more.<br /> <br /> Maker Faires showcase and explore new technologies with forward-thinking minds. Engineering, science, art, craft, and performance are all displayed creatively and innovatively at the Maker Faire. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) is also present at the Maker Faire and allows enthusiasts to see the creative projects and ideas that are often not on display. Maker Faire is a product of Maker Media who publishes Make: magazine, Maker Faire, and Maker Shed stores.<br /> <br /> === Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> These three resources (e.g. Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite) are included in the Maker Faire. It will be inferred that these three sub categories will be covered/referred by the use of the strategic resource Maker Faire, as seen in Figure 1.<br /> &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;[[File:FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg|none|FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg]]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Figure 1: Diagram representation of the Maker Faire's fundamental parts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ==== MAKER FAIRE ====<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=RD_JpGgUFQQ}}<br /> <br /> Show case of crazy innovation and creativity.

Essentially, this is the break down for this ''Rapid Fire Presentation: ''20 slides, 15 seconds each, therefore 20x15= 5 minute presentations<br /> <br /> = MAKER FAIRE =<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> Maker Faire encompasses many aspects that spans a broad spectrum of topics: ranging from the beautiful contraptions, fascinating abstractions, and just plain creativity with out limits. Maker Faire targets all ages and fields of interest, the only requirement is that the participant must show: (1) what they made and, most importantly, (2) what they learned.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The first Maker Faire was launched in the Bay Area in 2006, which attracted many DIY (Do-It-Yourself) communities and aspiring inventors. Since then, and with successes with the NYC show case in 2013, more of these types of events are occurring around the world. Such as Tokyo, Rome, Santiago, and Oslo. These Maker Faires are growing in size every year!<br /> <br /> == What makes the Maker? ==<br /> <br /> Maker or participants of these fairs are vastly DIY'ers (Do-It-Yourself), hobbyist, and enthusiasts. This can span all fields and disciplines, which is not only limited to: arts, engineering, science, and math spanning from amateurs to professionals. These are typically people who love creativity, innovation, and self-fulfillment for a you-never-stop-learning lifestyle.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> <br /> This event allows for a melting pot of creativity and learning. Some of which do become entrepreneurs, but most just enjoy the beauty of the human imagination. Maker Faire allows for a nurturing ground for growing a community with more creative and curious thinkers.<br /> <br /> === Works from the Founder, Dale Dougherty ===<br /> <br /> “I believe we are all makers. We can find all kinds of makers in our communities. Yet we also want to help create more makers. Through education and community outreach, we can offer the opportunity to make things to more people, but particularly children. They might find these opportunities at school but also at community centers, summer camps and science centers, or even at home. My goal is that all people, young and old, come to see themselves as makers, creators and doers because I know that the people who have the skills and knowledge to make things have the power to make the world a better place.” - Dale Dougherty<br /> <br /> = How To Get Involved =<br /> <br /> == How to Create a New Maker Space&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === Describe your Space and Pick a Location: ===<br /> <br /> There are many examples of large and small Maker Faires, each as successful as the last. This community-based learning event inspiring everyone involved to become a maker can take place on your campus, in your community, with smaller interest groups, etc. Therefore, space needs will change between each Maker Faire. Whether this means an outdoor Maker Faire in the community, hosting Mini Maker Faires on campus or off-campus at other schools, or partnering up with surrounding universities/ organizations to make the Maker Faire happen, the options are endless and will change for each individual Maker Faire.<br /> <br /> [[File:Capture.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Assess your Goals: ===<br /> <br /> ''Build a Network of Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Be inclusive of all kinds of making that can be found in the community the Maker Faire is being hosted for. It is important to represent not only scientists and engineers, but to also find the artists, crafters, and other assorted makers that don't fit into any of the categories previously mentioned. This involves reaching out and networking with the community and connecting people through the organization of the event. Look for individuals, groups, institutions, teachers, students, etc.<br /> <br /> ''Create a Showcase of Creative Work:&amp;nbsp;''Establish a core group dedicated to curating the event. Curators need to locate creative work in the community and find ways to showcase that at the Maker Faire. Make it a goal to make visible those ideas and projects people are doing in the community that often are not seen or heard. Find makers who are forward-thinking and are exploring new technologies.<br /> <br /> ''Offer Engaging, Hands-on Interaction:&amp;nbsp;''Make the Maker Faire fun for everyone by providing interactive and educational displays. Make this event about participation and sharing and reward makers and onlookers for their sense of curiosity. Try new things, learn how things work, explore why they work, discuss the processes behind making things work, and make it a goal to inspire everyone at the Maker Faire by understanding that we can expand our capabilities.<br /> <br /> ''Support Grassroots Innovation in the Community:&amp;nbsp;''Grassroots innovation fosters in every community and can be found in hobbyists and enthusiasts, or in entripreneurs and start companies that are exploring and creating new products and value. Don't be afraid to celebrate amateurs as they bring a fresh and creative mind in which new ideas can emerge.<br /> <br /> ''All of Us Are Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Everyone is a maker. Maker Faire is a wonderful way to share this with the community and provides an opportunity for people to see themselves as a creative part their community.<br /> <br /> === Considerations and Support:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Four Avenues of Support for the Maker Faire:<br /> <br /> 1. Leadership Team: This co-creative team needs to have passion and vision to organize the makers and showcase their innovation. Preperation and planning are extensive, and the team is responsible to pushing through these stages to the logistics and details as well as running the event and driving towards a successful Maker Faire. Included in the leadership team is the faculty advisor that can help with funding, outreach, licensing, and logistics during planning and the actual event.<br /> <br /> 2. Host Organization: Any scale Maker Faire will need a host or parnter organization. Examples that may bring value include marketing and promotion, payment processing, receiver of money from grants or scholarships, pool of volunteers, access to existing relationships in the community, or groups with relevant experience from hosting events. These organizations can all help the Maker Faire to prosper, but should still allow the event to remain inclusive.<br /> <br /> 3. Location: As the frame of the event, location is important. Explore options such as indoor and outdoor space with accessible restrooms and sufficient parking. There may be permits required. Also look at convenient access for families and safe surroundings, load-in access for trucks, electricity and internet, and protection in case the weather does not permit.<br /> <br /> 4. Date and Time: Most often, Maker Faires are a one-day, Saturday or Sunday event running in the afternoon hours. As a rule of thumb, allow for six months of planning for an average of 25-makers, or a year for events with 50-100 makers.<br /> <br /> === Assess your Cost: ===<br /> <br /> Resources for a Maker Faire have ranged in cost from $3K to $100K. It is possible to find sponsors or sell tickets, find a host that will cover the cost, or find donations for supplies and equipment. Make a budget as an initial target including the following costs:<br /> <br /> *Venue Rental<br /> *Furniture Rental (Tables and Chairs at the very least)<br /> *Advertising<br /> *Insurance<br /> *Security<br /> *Permits<br /> *Design and Printing of Marketing&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Equipment Rentals<br /> *Fuel<br /> *Website and Social Media<br /> *License Fee<br /> <br /> Some risk factors to consider include weather. Carefully plan and estimate a budget. Devote a core team to tracking costs.<br /> <br /> === Choose the Activities:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> ''Events that are open, inclusive, and encouraging.''<br /> <br /> ''Portray makers and the enthusiasm they have behind what they do and how they do it.''<br /> <br /> ''Embraces diversity in content ranging from the arts to the sciences.''<br /> <br /> ''Interactive displays with opportunities for interaction and stimulation.''<br /> <br /> ''Exhibiting innovation rather than competing.''<br /> <br /> ''Leave visitors with a sense of surprise and inspiration.''<br /> <br /> ''Events should continue to grow and develop maker culture.''<br /> <br /> === Round up the Materials:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Select Management:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Every successful event needs a good managment team to run smoothly and successfully. Because Maker Faire requires extensive preparation, you should select people to be in your managment team who are passionate about maker faire, and will be driven by the success of the event.<br /> <br /> === Promote and Launch:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> What would a Maker Faire be without an audience, or even the makers themselves? The size of your event dictates the amount of promotion required, and how you promote depends on factors like its location. For example getting students interested and informed for a Maker Faire located near or in a University, advertising through facebook, posters, and the university webpage might be the best way to get the word around. Makers might be harder to come across, and may need to be sought out and contacted directly.<br /> <br /> == How to Run a Maker Space ==<br /> <br /> === Space Access and Purpose:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Mentors and Liaisons:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Maintain Engagement:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Make Connections:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Tips and Resources: ===<br /> <br /> Interested?

Make a budget as an initial target including the following costs:<br /> <br /> *Venue Rental<br /> *Furniture Rental (Tables and Chairs at the very least)<br /> *Advertising<br /> *Insurance<br /> *Security<br /> *Permits<br /> *Design and Printing of Marketing&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Equipment Rentals<br /> *Fuel<br /> *Website and Social Media<br /> *License Fee<br /> <br /> Some risk factors to consider include weather. Carefully plan and estimate a budget. Devote a core team to tracking costs.<br /> <br /> === Choose the Activities:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> ''Events that are open, inclusive, and encouraging.''<br /> <br /> ''Portray makers and the enthusiasm they have behind what they do and how they do it.''<br /> <br /> ''Embraces diversity in content ranging from the arts to the sciences.''<br /> <br /> ''Interactive displays with opportunities for interaction and stimulation.''<br /> <br /> ''Exhibiting innovation rather than competing.''<br /> <br /> ''Leave visitors with a sense of surprise and inspiration.''<br /> <br /> ''Events should continue to grow and develop maker culture.''<br /> <br /> === Round up the Materials:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Select Management:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Every successful event needs a good managment team to run smoothly and successfully. Because Maker Faire requires extensive preparation, you should select people to be in your managment team who are passionate about maker faire, and will be driven by the success of the event.<br /> <br /> === Promote and Launch:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> What would a Maker Faire be without an audience, or even the makers themselves? The size of your event dictates the amount of promotion required, and how you promote depends on factors like its location. For example getting students interested and informed for a Maker Faire located near or in a University, advertising through facebook, posters, and the university webpage might be the best way to get the word around. Makers might be harder to come across, and may need to be sought out and contacted directly.<br /> <br /> == How to Run a Maker Space ==<br /> <br /> === Space Access and Purpose:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Mentors and Liaisons:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Maintain Engagement:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Make Connections:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Tips and Resources: ===<br /> <br /> Interested?

It is also about the people who want to attend the event. Focusing resources on attracting Makers is essential to the success of the event, but the Faire must also be marketable to all audiences. By advertising a wide variety of interest subjects (i.e. music, arts, sports, etc.), the Faire will attract a diverse variety of people and create an environment of interest for all.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === Build your Brand:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Ask, “Why is this event going to help our community?” and use the answer to this question as a mission statement. Every successful event develops upon a beneficial idea for the community and its inhabitants. After the foundation is laid, then the brand of the event must be established. With the Maler Faire involving many advanced forms of technology, it would be best to design graphics that deal especially with futuristic applications of projects that will be presented in the Faire. Anything that stands out to the human eye is particularly important in getting people to notice the event. This is where creativity is the most important aspect of spreading awareness.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:larger;&quot;&gt;Once the graphics are created in forms of posters, flyers, and emails, it is time to spread. Take advantage of campus announcement boards and ask to hang up flyers for the event. Ask some of the media resources around campus to include the event in a newspaper or broadcast. Tell some friends about the event and have them share it with their friends and so on. Every University has a variety of ways to spread the news around campus. It is the job of the event hosts to understand that responsibility and use every resource available to spread awareness and peak interests.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> === Communication is Key:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Bring People to your Event:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Media Outreach:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> == Spring 2018 UIF Biographies&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> ==== [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:MickeyThiry User:MickeyThiry] ====<br /> <br /> '''[[User:Slueckenotto|User]]'''[[User:Slueckenotto|''':Slueckenotto''']]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Resources]]</div>

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>= The History Behind Maker Faire&lt;br/&gt; =<br /> <br /> First launched in 2006 in the Bay Area, Maker Fair is a place where all ages gather to celebrate their own personal passions. You'll find an incredible mix of crafters, engineers and scientists, authors and artists, hobbyists, tech junkies, exhibitionists, and much more. The Maker Faire aspires to bring hands-on activities to showcase what these enthusiasts have made and learned. The event continues to grow. As of 2017, there were over 190 independently-run &quot;Mini Maker Faires&quot; and over 30 &quot;Featured Maker Faires&quot; that have taken place around the world including Tokyo, Shenzhen, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Detroit, Milwaukee, Madison, San Diego and many more.<br /> <br /> Maker Faires showcase and explore new technologies with forward-thinking minds. Engineering, science, art, craft, and performance are all displayed creatively and innovatively at the Maker Faire. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) is also present at the Maker Faire and allows enthusiasts to see the creative projects and ideas that are often not on display. Maker Faire is a product of Maker Media who publishes Make: magazine, Maker Faire, and Maker Shed stores.<br /> <br /> === Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> These three resources (e.g. Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite) are included in the Maker Faire. It will be inferred that these three sub categories will be covered/referred by the use of the strategic resource Maker Faire, as seen in Figure 1.<br /> &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;[[File:FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg|none|FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg]]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Figure 1: Diagram representation of the Maker Faire's fundamental parts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ==== MAKER FAIRE ====<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=RD_JpGgUFQQ}}<br /> <br /> Show case of crazy innovation and creativity.

Essentially, this is the break down for this ''Rapid Fire Presentation: ''20 slides, 15 seconds each, therefore 20x15= 5 minute presentations<br /> <br /> = MAKER FAIRE =<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> Maker Faire encompasses many aspects that spans a broad spectrum of topics: ranging from the beautiful contraptions, fascinating abstractions, and just plain creativity with out limits. Maker Faire targets all ages and fields of interest, the only requirement is that the participant must show: (1) what they made and, most importantly, (2) what they learned.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The first Maker Faire was launched in the Bay Area in 2006, which attracted many DIY (Do-It-Yourself) communities and aspiring inventors. Since then, and with successes with the NYC show case in 2013, more of these types of events are occurring around the world. Such as Tokyo, Rome, Santiago, and Oslo. These Maker Faires are growing in size every year!<br /> <br /> == What makes the Maker? ==<br /> <br /> Maker or participants of these fairs are vastly DIY'ers (Do-It-Yourself), hobbyist, and enthusiasts. This can span all fields and disciplines, which is not only limited to: arts, engineering, science, and math spanning from amateurs to professionals. These are typically people who love creativity, innovation, and self-fulfillment for a you-never-stop-learning lifestyle.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> <br /> This event allows for a melting pot of creativity and learning. Some of which do become entrepreneurs, but most just enjoy the beauty of the human imagination. Maker Faire allows for a nurturing ground for growing a community with more creative and curious thinkers.<br /> <br /> === Works from the Founder, Dale Dougherty ===<br /> <br /> “I believe we are all makers. We can find all kinds of makers in our communities. Yet we also want to help create more makers. Through education and community outreach, we can offer the opportunity to make things to more people, but particularly children. They might find these opportunities at school but also at community centers, summer camps and science centers, or even at home. My goal is that all people, young and old, come to see themselves as makers, creators and doers because I know that the people who have the skills and knowledge to make things have the power to make the world a better place.” - Dale Dougherty<br /> <br /> = How To Get Involved =<br /> <br /> == How to Create a New Maker Space&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === Describe your Space and Pick a Location: ===<br /> <br /> There are many examples of large and small Maker Faires, each as successful as the last. This community-based learning event inspiring everyone involved to become a maker can take place on your campus, in your community, with smaller interest groups, etc. Therefore, space needs will change between each Maker Faire. Whether this means an outdoor Maker Faire in the community, hosting Mini Maker Faires on campus or off-campus at other schools, or partnering up with surrounding universities/ organizations to make the Maker Faire happen, the options are endless and will change for each individual Maker Faire.<br /> <br /> [[File:Capture.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Assess your Goals: ===<br /> <br /> ''Build a Network of Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Be inclusive of all kinds of making that can be found in the community the Maker Faire is being hosted for. It is important to represent not only scientists and engineers, but to also find the artists, crafters, and other assorted makers that don't fit into any of the categories previously mentioned. This involves reaching out and networking with the community and connecting people through the organization of the event. Look for individuals, groups, institutions, teachers, students, etc.<br /> <br /> ''Create a Showcase of Creative Work:&amp;nbsp;''Establish a core group dedicated to curating the event. Curators need to locate creative work in the community and find ways to showcase that at the Maker Faire. Make it a goal to make visible those ideas and projects people are doing in the community that often are not seen or heard. Find makers who are forward-thinking and are exploring new technologies.<br /> <br /> ''Offer Engaging, Hands-on Interaction:&amp;nbsp;''Make the Maker Faire fun for everyone by providing interactive and educational displays. Make this event about participation and sharing and reward makers and onlookers for their sense of curiosity. Try new things, learn how things work, explore why they work, discuss the processes behind making things work, and make it a goal to inspire everyone at the Maker Faire by understanding that we can expand our capabilities.<br /> <br /> ''Support Grassroots Innovation in the Community:&amp;nbsp;''Grassroots innovation fosters in every community and can be found in hobbyists and enthusiasts, or in entripreneurs and start companies that are exploring and creating new products and value. Don't be afraid to celebrate amateurs as they bring a fresh and creative mind in which new ideas can emerge.<br /> <br /> ''All of Us Are Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Everyone is a maker. Maker Faire is a wonderful way to share this with the community and provides an opportunity for people to see themselves as a creative part their community.<br /> <br /> === Considerations and Support:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Four Avenues of Support for the Maker Faire:<br /> <br /> 1. Leadership Team: This co-creative team needs to have passion and vision to organize the makers and showcase their innovation. Preperation and planning are extensive, and the team is responsible to pushing through these stages to the logistics and details as well as running the event and driving towards a successful Maker Faire. Included in the leadership team is the faculty advisor that can help with funding, outreach, licensing, and logistics during planning and the actual event.<br /> <br /> 2. Host Organization: Any scale Maker Faire will need a host or parnter organization. Examples that may bring value include marketing and promotion, payment processing, receiver of money from grants or scholarships, pool of volunteers, access to existing relationships in the community, or groups with relevant experience from hosting events. These organizations can all help the Maker Faire to prosper, but should still allow the event to remain inclusive.<br /> <br /> 3. Location: As the frame of the event, location is important. Explore options such as indoor and outdoor space with accessible restrooms and sufficient parking. There may be permits required. Also look at convenient access for families and safe surroundings, load-in access for trucks, electricity and internet, and protection in case the weather does not permit.<br /> <br /> 4. Date and Time: Most often, Maker Faires are a one-day, Saturday or Sunday event running in the afternoon hours. As a rule of thumb, allow for six months of planning for an average of 25-makers, or a year for events with 50-100 makers.<br /> <br /> === Assess your Cost: ===<br /> <br /> Resources for a Maker Faire have ranged in cost from $3K to $100K.

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>= The History Behind Maker Faire&lt;br/&gt; =<br /> <br /> First launched in 2006 in the Bay Area, Maker Fair is a place where all ages gather to celebrate their own personal passions. You'll find an incredible mix of crafters, engineers and scientists, authors and artists, hobbyists, tech junkies, exhibitionists, and much more. The Maker Faire aspires to bring hands-on activities to showcase what these enthusiasts have made and learned. The event continues to grow. As of 2017, there were over 190 independently-run &quot;Mini Maker Faires&quot; and over 30 &quot;Featured Maker Faires&quot; that have taken place around the world including Tokyo, Shenzhen, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Detroit, Milwaukee, Madison, San Diego and many more.<br /> <br /> Maker Faires showcase and explore new technologies with forward-thinking minds. Engineering, science, art, craft, and performance are all displayed creatively and innovatively at the Maker Faire. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) is also present at the Maker Faire and allows enthusiasts to see the creative projects and ideas that are often not on display. Maker Faire is a product of Maker Media who publishes Make: magazine, Maker Faire, and Maker Shed stores.<br /> <br /> === Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> These three resources (e.g. Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite) are included in the Maker Faire. It will be inferred that these three sub categories will be covered/referred by the use of the strategic resource Maker Faire, as seen in Figure 1.<br /> &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;[[File:FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg|none|FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg]]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Figure 1: Diagram representation of the Maker Faire's fundamental parts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ==== MAKER FAIRE ====<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=RD_JpGgUFQQ}}<br /> <br /> Show case of crazy innovation and creativity.

Essentially, this is the break down for this ''Rapid Fire Presentation: ''20 slides, 15 seconds each, therefore 20x15= 5 minute presentations<br /> <br /> = MAKER FAIRE =<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> Maker Faire encompasses many aspects that spans a broad spectrum of topics: ranging from the beautiful contraptions, fascinating abstractions, and just plain creativity with out limits. Maker Faire targets all ages and fields of interest, the only requirement is that the participant must show: (1) what they made and, most importantly, (2) what they learned.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The first Maker Faire was launched in the Bay Area in 2006, which attracted many DIY (Do-It-Yourself) communities and aspiring inventors. Since then, and with successes with the NYC show case in 2013, more of these types of events are occurring around the world. Such as Tokyo, Rome, Santiago, and Oslo. These Maker Faires are growing in size every year!<br /> <br /> == What makes the Maker? ==<br /> <br /> Maker or participants of these fairs are vastly DIY'ers (Do-It-Yourself), hobbyist, and enthusiasts. This can span all fields and disciplines, which is not only limited to: arts, engineering, science, and math spanning from amateurs to professionals. These are typically people who love creativity, innovation, and self-fulfillment for a you-never-stop-learning lifestyle.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> <br /> This event allows for a melting pot of creativity and learning. Some of which do become entrepreneurs, but most just enjoy the beauty of the human imagination. Maker Faire allows for a nurturing ground for growing a community with more creative and curious thinkers.<br /> <br /> === Works from the Founder, Dale Dougherty ===<br /> <br /> “I believe we are all makers. We can find all kinds of makers in our communities. Yet we also want to help create more makers. Through education and community outreach, we can offer the opportunity to make things to more people, but particularly children. They might find these opportunities at school but also at community centers, summer camps and science centers, or even at home. My goal is that all people, young and old, come to see themselves as makers, creators and doers because I know that the people who have the skills and knowledge to make things have the power to make the world a better place.” - Dale Dougherty<br /> <br /> = How To Get Involved =<br /> <br /> == How to Create a New Maker Space&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === Describe your Space and Pick a Location: ===<br /> <br /> There are many examples of large and small Maker Faires, each as successful as the last. This community-based learning event inspiring everyone involved to become a maker can take place on your campus, in your community, with smaller interest groups, etc. Therefore, space needs will change between each Maker Faire. Whether this means an outdoor Maker Faire in the community, hosting Mini Maker Faires on campus or off-campus at other schools, or partnering up with surrounding universities/ organizations to make the Maker Faire happen, the options are endless and will change for each individual Maker Faire.<br /> <br /> [[File:Capture.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Assess your Goals: ===<br /> <br /> ''Build a Network of Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Be inclusive of all kinds of making that can be found in the community the Maker Faire is being hosted for. It is important to represent not only scientists and engineers, but to also find the artists, crafters, and other assorted makers that don't fit into any of the categories previously mentioned. This involves reaching out and networking with the community and connecting people through the organization of the event. Look for individuals, groups, institutions, teachers, students, etc.<br /> <br /> ''Create a Showcase of Creative Work:&amp;nbsp;''Establish a core group dedicated to curating the event. Curators need to locate creative work in the community and find ways to showcase that at the Maker Faire. Make it a goal to make visible those ideas and projects people are doing in the community that often are not seen or heard. Find makers who are forward-thinking and are exploring new technologies.<br /> <br /> ''Offer Engaging, Hands-on Interaction:&amp;nbsp;''Make the Maker Faire fun for everyone by providing interactive and educational displays. Make this event about participation and sharing and reward makers and onlookers for their sense of curiosity. Try new things, learn how things work, explore why they work, discuss the processes behind making things work, and make it a goal to inspire everyone at the Maker Faire by understanding that we can expand our capabilities.<br /> <br /> ''Support Grassroots Innovation in the Community:&amp;nbsp;''Grassroots innovation fosters in every community and can be found in hobbyists and enthusiasts, or in entripreneurs and start companies that are exploring and creating new products and value. Don't be afraid to celebrate amateurs as they bring a fresh and creative mind in which new ideas can emerge.<br /> <br /> ''All of Us Are Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Everyone is a maker. Maker Faire is a wonderful way to share this with the community and provides an opportunity for people to see themselves as a creative part their community.<br /> <br /> === Considerations and Support:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Four Avenues of Support for the Maker Faire:<br /> <br /> 1. Leadership Team: This co-creative team needs to have passion and vision to organize the makers and showcase their innovation. Preperation and planning are extensive, and the team is responsible to pushing through these stages to the logistics and details as well as running the event and driving towards a successful Maker Faire. Included in the leadership team is the faculty advisor that can help with funding, outreach, licensing, and logistics during planning and the actual event.<br /> <br /> 2. Host Organization: Any scale Maker Faire will need a host or parnter organization. Examples that may bring value include marketing and promotion, payment processing, receiver of money from grants or scholarships, pool of volunteers, access to existing relationships in the community, or groups with relevant experience from hosting events. These organizations can all help the Maker Faire to prosper, but should still allow the event to remain inclusive.<br /> <br /> 3. Location: As the frame of the event, location is important. Explore options such as indoor and outdoor space with accessible restrooms and sufficient parking. There may be permits required. Also look at convenient access for families and safe surroundings, load-in access for trucks, electricity and internet, and protection in case the weather does not permit.<br /> <br /> 4. Date and Time: Most often, Maker Faires are a one-day, Saturday or Sunday event running in the afternoon hours. As a rule of thumb, allow for six months of planning for an average of 25-makers, or a year for events with 50-100 makers.<br /> <br /> === Assess your Cost: ===<br /> <br /> Resources for a Maker Faire have ranged in cost from $3K to $100K. It is possible to find sponsors or sell tickets, find a host that will cover the cost, or find donations for supplies and equipment. Make a budget as an initial target including the following costs:<br /> <br /> *Venue Rental<br /> *Furniture Rental (Tables and Chairs at the very least)<br /> *Advertising<br /> *Insurance<br /> *Security<br /> *Permits<br /> *Design and Printing of Marketing&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Equipment Rentals<br /> *Fuel<br /> *Website and Social Media<br /> *License Fee<br /> <br /> Some risk factors to consider include weather.

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>= The History Behind Maker Faire&lt;br/&gt; =<br /> <br /> First launched in 2006 in the Bay Area, Maker Fair is a place where all ages gather to celebrate their own personal passions. You'll find an incredible mix of crafters, engineers and scientists, authors and artists, hobbyists, tech junkies, exhibitionists, and much more. The Maker Faire aspires to bring hands-on activities to showcase what these enthusiasts have made and learned. The event continues to grow. As of 2017, there were over 190 independently-run &quot;Mini Maker Faires&quot; and over 30 &quot;Featured Maker Faires&quot; that have taken place around the world including Tokyo, Shenzhen, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Detroit, Milwaukee, Madison, San Diego and many more.<br /> <br /> Maker Faires showcase and explore new technologies with forward-thinking minds. Engineering, science, art, craft, and performance are all displayed creatively and innovatively at the Maker Faire. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) is also present at the Maker Faire and allows enthusiasts to see the creative projects and ideas that are often not on display. Maker Faire is a product of Maker Media who publishes Make: magazine, Maker Faire, and Maker Shed stores.<br /> <br /> === Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> These three resources (e.g. Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite) are included in the Maker Faire. It will be inferred that these three sub categories will be covered/referred by the use of the strategic resource Maker Faire, as seen in Figure 1.<br /> &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;[[File:FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg|none|FLOW DIAGRAM MAKER FAIRE.jpg]]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Figure 1: Diagram representation of the Maker Faire's fundamental parts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> ==== MAKER FAIRE ====<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=RD_JpGgUFQQ}}<br /> <br /> Show case of crazy innovation and creativity. Makes you feel like optimistic, that anything is possible with the power of imagination and surrounding your self with people who believe that same goal!<br /> <br /> ==== MAKE MAGAZINE&lt;br/&gt; ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Maker Magazine.jpg|none|Maker Magazine.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Make Magazine Home Page: [http://makermedia.com http://www.youtube.com/user/makemagazine]<br /> <br /> Make Magazine YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/user/makemagazine http://www.youtube.com/user/makemagazine]<br /> <br /> DIY guides and different projects for different levels of complexity and ages!<br /> <br /> ==== O'REILLY PUBLICATION&lt;br/&gt; ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Oreilly publication.gif|none|Oreilly publication.gif]]<br /> <br /> O’Reilly Publication Home Page: [http://radar.oreilly.com/about http://radar.oreilly.com/about]<br /> <br /> Web-news postings of trending technologies and innovative practices.

Essentially, this is the break down for this ''Rapid Fire Presentation: ''20 slides, 15 seconds each, therefore 20x15= 5 minute presentations<br /> <br /> = MAKER FAIRE =<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> Maker Faire encompasses many aspects that spans a broad spectrum of topics: ranging from the beautiful contraptions, fascinating abstractions, and just plain creativity with out limits. Maker Faire targets all ages and fields of interest, the only requirement is that the participant must show: (1) what they made and, most importantly, (2) what they learned.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The first Maker Faire was launched in the Bay Area in 2006, which attracted many DIY (Do-It-Yourself) communities and aspiring inventors. Since then, and with successes with the NYC show case in 2013, more of these types of events are occurring around the world. Such as Tokyo, Rome, Santiago, and Oslo. These Maker Faires are growing in size every year!<br /> <br /> == What makes the Maker? ==<br /> <br /> Maker or participants of these fairs are vastly DIY'ers (Do-It-Yourself), hobbyist, and enthusiasts. This can span all fields and disciplines, which is not only limited to: arts, engineering, science, and math spanning from amateurs to professionals. These are typically people who love creativity, innovation, and self-fulfillment for a you-never-stop-learning lifestyle.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> <br /> This event allows for a melting pot of creativity and learning. Some of which do become entrepreneurs, but most just enjoy the beauty of the human imagination. Maker Faire allows for a nurturing ground for growing a community with more creative and curious thinkers.<br /> <br /> === Works from the Founder, Dale Dougherty ===<br /> <br /> “I believe we are all makers. We can find all kinds of makers in our communities. Yet we also want to help create more makers. Through education and community outreach, we can offer the opportunity to make things to more people, but particularly children. They might find these opportunities at school but also at community centers, summer camps and science centers, or even at home. My goal is that all people, young and old, come to see themselves as makers, creators and doers because I know that the people who have the skills and knowledge to make things have the power to make the world a better place.” - Dale Dougherty<br /> <br /> = How To Get Involved =<br /> <br /> == How to Create a New Maker Space&lt;br/&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === Describe your Space and Pick a Location: ===<br /> <br /> There are many examples of large and small Maker Faires, each as successful as the last. This community-based learning event inspiring everyone involved to become a maker can take place on your campus, in your community, with smaller interest groups, etc. Therefore, space needs will change between each Maker Faire. Whether this means an outdoor Maker Faire in the community, hosting Mini Maker Faires on campus or off-campus at other schools, or partnering up with surrounding universities/ organizations to make the Maker Faire happen, the options are endless and will change for each individual Maker Faire.<br /> <br /> [[File:Capture.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Assess your Goals: ===<br /> <br /> ''Build a Network of Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Be inclusive of all kinds of making that can be found in the community the Maker Faire is being hosted for. It is important to represent not only scientists and engineers, but to also find the artists, crafters, and other assorted makers that don't fit into any of the categories previously mentioned. This involves reaching out and networking with the community and connecting people through the organization of the event. Look for individuals, groups, institutions, teachers, students, etc.<br /> <br /> ''Create a Showcase of Creative Work:&amp;nbsp;''Establish a core group dedicated to curating the event. Curators need to locate creative work in the community and find ways to showcase that at the Maker Faire. Make it a goal to make visible those ideas and projects people are doing in the community that often are not seen or heard. Find makers who are forward-thinking and are exploring new technologies.<br /> <br /> ''Offer Engaging, Hands-on Interaction:&amp;nbsp;''Make the Maker Faire fun for everyone by providing interactive and educational displays. Make this event about participation and sharing and reward makers and onlookers for their sense of curiosity. Try new things, learn how things work, explore why they work, discuss the processes behind making things work, and make it a goal to inspire everyone at the Maker Faire by understanding that we can expand our capabilities.<br /> <br /> ''Support Grassroots Innovation in the Community:&amp;nbsp;''Grassroots innovation fosters in every community and can be found in hobbyists and enthusiasts, or in entripreneurs and start companies that are exploring and creating new products and value. Don't be afraid to celebrate amateurs as they bring a fresh and creative mind in which new ideas can emerge.<br /> <br /> ''All of Us Are Makers:&amp;nbsp;''Everyone is a maker. Maker Faire is a wonderful way to share this with the community and provides an opportunity for people to see themselves as a creative part their community.<br /> <br /> === Considerations and Support:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Four Avenues of Support for the Maker Faire:<br /> <br /> 1. Leadership Team: This co-creative team needs to have passion and vision to organize the makers and showcase their innovation. Preperation and planning are extensive, and the team is responsible to pushing through these stages to the logistics and details as well as running the event and driving towards a successful Maker Faire. Included in the leadership team is the faculty advisor that can help with funding, outreach, licensing, and logistics during planning and the actual event.<br /> <br /> 2. Host Organization: Any scale Maker Faire will need a host or parnter organization. Examples that may bring value include marketing and promotion, payment processing, receiver of money from grants or scholarships, pool of volunteers, access to existing relationships in the community, or groups with relevant experience from hosting events. These organizations can all help the Maker Faire to prosper, but should still allow the event to remain inclusive.<br /> <br /> 3. Location: As the frame of the event, location is important. Explore options such as indoor and outdoor space with accessible restrooms and sufficient parking. There may be permits required. Also look at convenient access for families and safe surroundings, load-in access for trucks, electricity and internet, and protection in case the weather does not permit.<br /> <br /> 4. Date and Time: Most often, Maker Faires are a one-day, Saturday or Sunday event running in the afternoon hours. As a rule of thumb, allow for six months of planning for an average of 25-makers, or a year for events with 50-100 makers.<br /> <br /> === Assess your Cost: ===<br /> <br /> Resources for a Maker Faire have ranged in cost from $3K to $100K. It is possible to find sponsors or sell tickets, find a host that will cover the cost, or find donations for supplies and equipment. Make a budget as an initial target including the following costs:<br /> <br /> *Venue Rental<br /> *Furniture Rental (Tables and Chairs at the very least)<br /> *Advertising<br /> *Insurance<br /> *Security<br /> *Permits<br /> *Design and Printing of Marketing&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Equipment Rentals<br /> *Fuel<br /> *Website and Social Media<br /> *License Fee<br /> <br /> Some risk factors to consider include weather. Carefully plan and estimate a budget. Devote a core team to tracking costs.<br /> <br /> === Choose the Activities:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> ''Events that are open, inclusive, and encouraging.''<br /> <br /> ''Portray makers and the enthusiasm they have behind what they do and how they do it.''<br /> <br /> ''Embraces diversity in content ranging from the arts to the sciences.''<br /> <br /> ''Interactive displays with opportunities for interaction and stimulation.''<br /> <br /> ''Exhibiting innovation rather than competing.''<br /> <br /> ''Leave visitors with a sense of surprise and inspiration.''<br /> <br /> ''Events should continue to grow and develop maker culture.''<br /> <br /> === Round up the Materials:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Select Management:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> Every successful event needs a good managment team to run smoothly and successfully. Because Maker Faire requires extensive preparation, you should select people to be in your managment team who are passionate about maker faire, and will be driven by the success of the event.<br /> <br /> === Promote and Launch:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> What would a Maker Faire be without an audience, or even the makers themselves? The size of your event dictates the amount of promotion required, and how you promote depends on factors like its location. For example getting students interested and informed for a Maker Faire located near or in a University, advertising through facebook, posters, and the university webpage might be the best way to get the word around. Makers might be harder to come across, and may need to be sought out and contacted directly.<br /> <br /> == How to Run a Maker Space ==<br /> <br /> === Space Access and Purpose:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Mentors and Liaisons:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Maintain Engagement:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Make Connections:&lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Tips and Resources: ===<br /> <br /> Interested?

<p>Slueckenotto: </p> <hr /> <div>I am a current first-year freshman at Wichita State University pursuing a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. I grew up in Raymore, MO (Kansas City area) and attended the Ray-Pec Scholl District. During this time, I was heavily involved with golf and soccer, while also partaking in many clubs and organizations that my school offered. At age 16, I was employed as a busser at a local restaurant known as Jack Stack BBQ. I stayed there for the remainder of my high school career, and only resigned when I had to leave for college.<br /> <br /> At Wichita State, I am a current member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Engineering Council, and the Fairmount Flying Club. Due to my interests in aerospace-related matters, I am also pursuing a Private Pilot's License during my college career. My hobbies include watching all of the home basketball games at WSU, finding shows on Netflix to watch, and racing homemade drones.</div>
