Overview
Here at North Dakota State Unversity, we are going to develop a community that lays the framework for Innovation & Entreprenearship. Although events, programs, and resouirces are needed for an entprernerial community to flourish, they are not the most important part of the process. The most important part is the community, and we feel the community has not been given enough attention.
1. Build & Connect the Community
Tactic #1 Hammock Initiative
The best opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation mean nothing if people aren't involved. We feel that to create a community of entrepreneurs we have to first create a community where people can just be people. That is why one of our main priorities is to bring an organization to campus that will host events where all expectations to be innovative or have creative ideas are eliminated. It's called the Hammock Initiative, or Hi for short and its vision is simple.
We want to see people gathered together for the purpose of relaxing, enjoying each other’s company and, literally, hanging out. This vision may not sound audacious or ambitious, and that’s the point. It’s an opportunity for people to be, not do. - @HiFargo
By getting people together to hammock for the sake of just being, we believe natural conversation where ideas and innovation are born will start all on their own. And with how busy people are, I think we can all agree that some time set aside to relax is needed.
2. Improve Existing Programs
Tactic #1 Revamp Innovation Challenge
Tactic #2 Clinton Global Initiative
3. Knock Down Barriers
Tactic #1 Engineering wide Lab Access
Tactic #2 I&E Whitepages
There is a large number of organizations on and off campus that are beneficial to innovation and entrepreneaurship. NDSU overhauled its organization database recently but it is not all inclusive the and search button does not work like it should. The other issue is that it does not tie into the community. The Fargo/Moorhead area has a strong I&E culture but there is no easy way for students to search and see what is available.
Goal-Create a wiki-based whitepage style repository of all innovative and entreprenearistic events on campus and in the community.
Tactic- Create a wiki page for the university organizations
Tactic- Compile a list of current on campus activities and allow students to add or edit activites as needed
