<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Power Hour is a group of highly trained students who are innovative thinkers, collaborators, and campus change-makers. This group of students, called Innovation Connectors (IC’s), come into a university class (any area of study) and spend an hour going through curriculum which includes the following:

<li>Hands-on Brainstorming exercises (resources provided- sticky notes, markers, white boards, etc.)</li><li>Team-Building Exercises </li><li>Intentional Innovation Connection (IC’s are trained to hear an idea from a student, and give suggestions for an on-campus point person who can help the idea develop and grow) </li>

</ul>

One hour filled with energy and creativity and encouraging students to shift their mindset- think outside the box, step outside the box, live outside the box!

= Priority 2: I&E and it's legal aspects - Patent Club!  =

An introductory, patent/product development awareness meeting dedicated to simply exposing students to the world of product development and how to take their ideas and turn them into reality. It talks a little bit about patents and a little bit about how to take a product and take it all the way. Could partner with Nashville Inventors for this event so that not only people inside Lipscomb can learn, but people outside. Also, it can help enhance Nashville Inventor attendance. A local expert would come in and talk about what they’ve learned and there will also be COB people there to help students get connected with the business department if they’d want it.

= Priority 3: I&E knowledge and skill advancement - Level Up!  = ~~From contacting others, I~~ Ever had ~~positive feedback~~ that  feeling that you did not learn enough before graduating ? And also do not want to pursue a graduate degree or start over entirely? Well this is the solution! A weekend program that is dedicated to give opportunities for ~~an informational session, and not as much around an actual club. Most people I’ve talked~~ students to learn from other students to gain skills that will be difficult for them to ~~are primarily interested~~ gain in ~~just gaining~~ their traditional coursework. The students they learn from will get income from the ~~information and moving on from there~~school or participating students. ~~Also~~This program will be targeted towards  college students, ~~engineers are busy. Because of this~~Lipscomb Academy students, ~~an informational session seems more of something~~ and graduate students ~~would appreciate more in engineering~~. ~~Also from talking with~~ The students teaching the ~~Nashville Inventors leaders, they are not super interested in driving~~ weekend course will be approved by professors and deans. This will be a ~~long~~ low cost program that should be limited to $25 per weekend course. Great way ~~in order~~ for students to ~~hold their monthly meetings~~gain extra income and learn something new for resume or personal building. ~~However, I~~ This will ~~talk~~ hopefully eliminate or lessen the extra educational experience students would like to ~~them more next week if more students are interested~~obtain before graduating.This experience will LEVEL UP your educational attributes! <div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/~~></span~~></div>= Priority 34: I&E ~~knowledge and skill advancement~~ Conversations - ~~Level Up! ~~ What If?? =

A major problem we discovered when conducting the Landscape Canvas is that there is very little conversation about innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities on campus outside those opportunities themselves. For example, I am in a program in the College of Business called Business as Mission. This program is geared toward equipping students to integrate theological and business knowledge to create sustainable solutions to pressing problems in the world. It flows from the belief that God invites people to partner with him in restoring the broken systems of the world and shattered relationships that naturally accompany them. I have been heavily involved in this program, but very few people outside of the College of Business have ever heard of it (and many in it as well). Thus this amazing opportunity for growth and development of innovative ideas is lost for many students simply because of lack of knowledge. <br/span> =

Two additional pain points with this problem are lack of access to resources for students with ideas and the lack of belief in themselves. The latter is a major issue, and is one that is more the focus of Lydia’s project, Power Hour, above. The former, however, is one that is very important to recognize within the context of the WHAT IF??? problem. Simply stated, what if students with ideas had access to other students, faculty, alumni and other external university supporters with similar ideas?

Why does my university need this?

Well, what are the students who come out of Power Hour (see Priority 1), going to do with their newfound enthusiasm? Indeed, would they not benefit from such a solution as this?<div> </div>[[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:Student Priorities|]][[Category:Lipscomb_University]][[Category:Student_Priorities]]{{CatTree|Lipscomb_University}}
