= An Kettering Entrepreneur Society & T-Space Community Engagement and Impact = == Background == Kettering Entrepreneur Society, or KES as we like to call it, is essentially an incubator space where students, faculty, and even anyone outside the University can come and develop their ideas, host brainstorm sessions, work together, and improve I&E mindsets. &nbsp;Its purpose is "to promote an entrepreneurial culture at Kettering University based on innovation and social values." &nbsp;KES is a great place for mentoring, &nbsp;networking, &nbsp;and funding opportunities. &nbsp;If a member so chooses, he may present proposals for further research or advertisement/marketing of his idea. &nbsp;If the Society accepts the proposals, the member will receive funding to pursue his project further. The Tinkering Space or "T-Space," was created with the purpose of providing students an area on campus to make their ideas come to life. = Project Pitch Video = UIF Fellow Candidates 2016 {{#Widget:Youtube|id= Gt2TZoxDTno}} UIF Fellow Candidates 2017 {{#Widget:Youtube|id= 3D1_nXhY4co}} == Our Priority == We would like to pursue expanding KES' and T-Space's engagement from mostly Kettering Students to more of the community. &nbsp;We are located in Flint, Michigan, and only a few miles away are two other college campuses. &nbsp;We are interested in trying to engage these campuses and involve them in any way whatsoever. &nbsp;Additionally, we are interested in expanding involvement to others in the community. &nbsp;We have found that there are many entrepreneurial minded people in Flint's community, and combining this with some I&E minded students at the other campuses, we could tap into an incredible resource and all collaborate together. We would also like to effect the mindset of the Kettering students to empower them to see their capabilities in innovation and understand that they could be entrepreneurs. = Open Labs/Maker Space<br/> = == Background == Aside from designated lab time alloted with each accompanying course, most if not all labs on Kettering University's campus are locked when the lab is not in session. Once in lab, students are often rushing to complete the lab assignment within the alloted lab time in order to end with a satisfactory grade. However, this creates an issue where the student's experience and scope of understanding is limited to the lab assignment. Thus for many students, full comprehension of the course is difficult to achieve, especially if the lab assignment was not designed to simulate different scenarios. == Our Priority == Like a makerspace, we would like to open labs to students. We believe that by offering open labs, we can allow for students to experiment on their own time, allowing for Rapid Prototyping (more "bulbs to click" and thus helping them understand the course better. This translates to different perspectives, and individual ideas. It's like giving a child a box of Legos for a Saturday afternoon. Once they understand how to use the equipment, they will then have the opportunity to experiment on their own. = Kettering Entrepreneur Society & T-space) Space Infrastructure Improvements =

<span id="docsOur idea is to try to expand upon current KES & T-internal-guid-2bc5d2d1-2611-940a-450d-c6111ed6b1de"><span style="font-size: 15pxSpace involvement and to improve upon the current involvement by bettering the current infrastructure. &nbsp; fontBy students using both these resources (KES & T-family: ArialSpace), I&E would largely increase around campus. &nbsp; verticalOne aspect we are interested in is how many students in KES use the T-align: baselineSpace and vice versa; whitehow many T-space: pre-wrapSpace users are active in KES. &nbsp;">Kettering University is an engineering focused school If we find that prides itself on taking what there is learned a large overlap, then we would be interested in investigating the classroom idea of hosting KES meetings in the T-Space. &nbsp;This would allow for us to "tinker" with projects and being able to utilize show them off at the same concepts literally through cooperative educationtime. However&nbsp;If there is not a large overlap, design projects largely take place outside of the university where students work. An area where then we are interested in sponsoring students to create an LED advertisement board for KES that we can quickly piece up together what they have display in mind is need here at Kettering. Having what we call a “Tinkering Space” would create an environment window for the students and public to not only have access view. &nbsp;The purpose of this would be to show off a student's project (a flashy LED advertisement via programming) and to the tools they need try to produce prototypes, but also have access engage more people to an environment where other students have a similar mindset. This new approach actively participate in KES who &nbsp;may be able to start a movement here at Kettering where students can finally not have place where they can work on ideas that have generated for work purposes or even personal ideasalready been participating.</span></span>

The Kettering Entrepreneur Society has had an interest in give them an area where ideas can be brought to life showcase their projects and we feel this may do just that. In the Kettering Mott Buildinginitiatives to other students, at the end of hallway on the second floorfaculty, there is an empty space where an organization known TechWorks used to be - and community. With this is where we aim plan to kick it off with a Maker Faire in which teams are formed and compete to have solve the Tinkering Spacechallenge. Allowing for multiple degree type input and work. Some Creating a more interdisciplinary collaboration environment for the students. These Challenges would be either of an open nature where the tools we would students get to pick the challenge they want to solve or a goal like challenge where there is a desired end goal. Our first Maker Fair was a 24 hour challenge were 20 students had to add include soldering irons, a laser cutting machine, design something for collony living on a 3D printer, computers planet with high cost software, different species and many other tools for quick idea generation such as whiteboards, sticky notes, etcconditions.</span></span>&nbsp;

Both events were attended by several students, in large part it is unknown what research each professor is working on faculty and where their research goesmembers of the Flint community. At least The event was put together by Kevin Simpson in the coordination with Dr. Doug Melton, Associate Professor of Electrical Computer Engineering departmentat Kettering University, when we have our term get together for and other members of staff. The speakers included a review comprehensive list of local entrepreneurs, artists and professors. == Proposal == The proposal is to bring the term event back. As TED talks gain popularity both inside and what next term will look likeoutside the classroom, there is some advertisement in the achievements event will give members of the department has experienced with researchFlint, but it is new Michigan and Kettering University communities a chance to nearly everyone attendingshare their stories and their problems. &nbsp;Transparency of research projects throughout the university can lead to many benefits with Many Kettering students knowing what exists so they may be able pride themselves as problem-solvers, and this event will help them focus their energies in order to helpsolve problems in their neighborhoods.</span></span>
