Crowdfunded Student Ventures<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Health UnBound<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Description: Promote medical innovation and entrepreneurship at the University by centralizing resources in a student organization. Health UnBound has already been working this past year to accomplish these goals through various competitions and industry tours. For this year, we want to emphasize student team mentorship to encourage students to stick with projects and get hooked on medical entrepreneurship.</li><li>Goals: + Timeline:<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>We will host a medical design competition near the beginning of the semester that spawns project teams and offer money and mentorship as the main prize<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>This has already been completed</li></ol></li><li>Through the semester we will host “health community office hours” at a local community workspace to touch base with projects</li><li>We will help competitive projects apply for funding near the end of the semester.<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Our main goal for this stage will be to prep teams for University  entrepreneurship cup to gain $1000 in funding.</li></ol></li></ol></li></ol></li></ol> <ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>ReinventED Lab<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Description: ReinventED Lab aims to build a community of creative problem-solving in education. We do this by hosting signature programs (24 Hour Challenge and Startup Weekend EDU: Problem-solvathon Edition), developing a customizable creative problem-solving process (drawing on design thinking, lean startup tactics, and 4.0 Schools methodologies), and growing impact-driven education innovation projects. Recognizing the net potential of education innovation at UVA, in Albemarle County, and in the Charlottesville community, ReinventED Lab aims to convene stakeholders for productive ideation and collaboration. To this end, ReinventED Lab leverages student voices, design thinking, and community building best practices, with the objective of establishing the Charlottesville area’s pre-eminence as a leader in the national movement towards locally-grown, early-stage education innovation.</li><li>Goals:<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Attract a significant number of attendees to ReinventED events</li><li>Bring multiple stakeholder groups into conversation with one another</li><li>Support the growth of education innovation projects</li><li>Identify the needs for users engaged in early-stage education innovation</li><li>Establish strong testimonies and examples of ideas surfaced and supported by ReinventED programs</li><li>Develop strong relationships with Albemarle County Public Schools, UVA, and Charlottesville community members</li></ol></li><li>Timeline:<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>ReinventED Kickoff Party: August 2015</li><li>Co-create UVA (cocreateuva.com) proposed: September 2015</li><li>ReinventED 24 Hour Challenge: October 9-10, 2015</li><li>ReinventED joins Albemarle County Schools Team for XQ Super Schools (xqsuperschool.org) Challenge: Mid-October, 2015</li><li>National Policy Breakthrough Lab commences research on early-stage education innovation”: Mid-October, 2015</li><li>ReinventED Startup Weekend EDU: Problem-solvathon Edition: November 13-15, 2015</li><li>ReinventED Project Cohort: Spring 2016</li></ol></li></ol></li></ol> <ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Create crowd-funding source for student ventures<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Description: I will partner with Venture Fund at UVa to create a crowd-funding source that provides base-level funding to student ventures that are not ready to reach out to investors/compete for money. This will create more student ventures, thereby tackling a large problem facing the I&E community on Grounds which is that students don’t apply to UVa because of innovation. By having increased amounts of student ventures, the reasons people apply to UVa will hopefully be more and more about innovation. Additionally, student ventures are another vehicle by which experiential learning can be spread on Grounds, an educational style that many professors face institutional challenges in implementing. The crowd-funding will be piloted alongside a design course on Grounds that has semester-long projects, many of which can be translated easily (relatively speaking) into ventures.</li><li>Goals:<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Encourage creation of more student ventures</li><li>Provide base-level funding for student ventures that are not ready to reach out to investors/compete for money</li><li>Provide more ways for real experiential learning, the vehicle being student ventures</li></ol></li><li>Timeline<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Reach out to all stakeholders - Early October</li><li>Draft necessary resources, proposals - Late October</li><li>Secure course for pilot  - Early November</li><li>Finalize Initiatives with Venture Fund - Late November</li><li>Create crowd-funding source - End of February</li><li>Pitch to student projects in design course; offer draft of a pitch for crowd-funding medium - Mid March</li><li>Get feedback from ventures - Early April</li><li>Reflect/Improve system - Mid April/Early May</li></ol></li></ol></li></ol>

= ''Spring 2015 ~~UIF Leadership Circle~~ '' =

== Top Priorities ==

*Medical Bridge

*Entrepreneurship Educational Tract

*Human-Centered Design and Innovation Curriculum at UVA School of Medicine

== Dream Team Program ==

*I believe this can be housed in the already existing Engineering business minor, which is extremely popular among current students

*By Spring 2016, introduce the first design class for the engineering business minor

**Capstone Venture-Lab course implementation in progress

*Encourage students to take their ideas and create products and companies around it. This may require restructuring the curriculum, so that the last capstone class, in which you create a product idea, is taken before a student's final year

*Within 3 == Human-Centered Design and Innovation Curriculum at UVA School of Medicine == '''Description''': Develop and implement an unprecedented curriculum track at the School of Medicine focused on user-centered design and problem solving. The following is a detailed proposal submitted to the UVA School of Medicine Curriculum Committee based on student feedback and survey:<div>The practice of medicine is undergoing radical transformation in the United States. This shift is fueled by myriad inter-connected factors including highly disruptive advances in fields like genomics and a drive for more individualized, patient-centered care, as well as population-level needs for advances in areas such as preventive services to address sequelae of chronic disease. Innovative approaches to medical training are needed to prepare young physicians for these changes and position them to play leadership roles in their personal clinical teams and at a system level. Traditional 4-year medical training programs now include increasing emphasis on multi-disciplinary teams. However, they do not naturally cultivate opportunities for students to focus on unsolved problems and get hands-on experience creating new products or services to address those problems, skills that are essential to becoming successful and effective innovators. With its history of cultural transformation in inter-disciplinary translational research the University of Virginia (UVA) is well positioned for a leadership role in preparing future medical doctors for the new era of medical practice.</div><div> </div><div>We are proposing a ‘Medical Innovation & Human-Centered Design’ track to provide UVA medical students working knowledge of innovation and human centered design approaches – popularly referred to as design thinking. This track will complement the NexGen curriculum by offering three discrete phases of student training on this topic. The first phase will take place in the first two yearsprior clerkship, during which students will participate in workshops and seminars to build requisite knowledge in design and innovation. Because of busy schedules and the demands of clerkships, ~~hire faculty~~ the second phase will consist primarily of student’s journaling their observations during their time in clinic. This will provide data that will be the seeds for the third and final phase, during their 4th year. This component will include an elective and Capstone project (similar to a thesis). For the purpose of developing this program, we request one year of support to pilot a certificate program that ~~have experience with technological innovations~~ will feature 6 workshops/seminars for first year medical students entering the fall of 2016 and to ~~inspire~~ build on theexisting 4th year s-elective taught by David Chen. The data gathered through the courses as well as through student and ~~empower our~~ faculty focus groups, interviews, and surveys during the 2015-2016 year will optimize a 4-year track to be offered Fall of 2016.</div><div> </div><div>'''Goals:'''</div>*Introduce the human-centered design methodology to medical students*Utilize course materials and results from workshops to educate the medical school at-large about human-centered design principles*Encourage application of skillsets in practial healthcare scenarios *Promote the use of human-centered design for medical education on a national scale
