= Strategy #1: Expose Students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Inspire them to Learn More =
<br/>S&T's entrepreneurship club, TIES, will host the "Spark Speaker Series" for the first time in the Spring 2015 semester. At this time eight speakers have been confirmed, with more in the works. This is enough to host a speaker at least every other week, with the ultimate goal being to host one every week. Ultimately, it is desirable to further expand the series into a 1 credit-hour seminar that any student could enroll in.

Once students have an interest in innovation and have built the necessary skills, it is important to allow them experiment with and test out their new ideas. Programs and resources should facilitate their creative problem solving processes, customer discover, and prototype development.
== Tactic #1: Create a Student Creativity/Ideation/Maker Space == '''Description:''' Once students have built skills and interest in innovation and entrepreneurship, it is necessary to facilitate the growth of their ideas, and assist them in establishing product-market fit. A creativity, ideation, and maker space provides students with a location to work with one another to identify, develop, and prototype innovative solutions to real-world problems. This is an important prerequisite before the formation and execution of a formal commercial or not-for-profit venture. At this point, the following requirements have been identified for the space: *Student accessible 24/7 *In a central, highly visible location on campus *Infrastructure in place for facilitating creative problem solving and group conversation **Whiteboards and/or Flipcharts **Multimedia equipment (sound, projector/TV, etc.) **Adaptable furniture (rearrangeable seating and tables) *Infrastructure in place for basic prototyping **3D printer **3D scanner *Presence of an "idea wall" for engaging public in creativity and innovation *TV screen with calendar of upcoming I&E events<br/> '''Team Lead:''' Josh Jetter, Ian Lee, Cori Hatley, Mary Paleo, John Schoeberle, Spencer VogelKatherine Ramsay, Mark Raymond Jr.
'''Milestones:''' Phase 1: Create a space immediately by renovating an existing space
