The University of Oklahoma has momentum and a lot of potential when it comes to innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. Through mapping all the resources on campus, it has been determined that there are a few key areas where University Innovation Fellows and faculty can come together to further advance entrepreneurship on our campus.

2016 Strategies<br/span> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=uohiZ56yubI}}

== Strategy #1: Improve Inter-Major Collaboration ==

August 2016 - Kickoff boot camp

= 2015 Strategies~~~~ =

= Strategy #1: Foster a Sense of Community =

*Description - We are hoping that the creative space will be our Design Space, "Makery," Maker Space, etc., where students can come and design their new ideas. We want this to be our Google Garage, if you will. This fabrication lab will have a 3D printer, all the office supplies imaginable, tinkering spaces, and tools.

*~~~~Milestones - Maker space acquired in the University Research Park.

*Collaboration space developed in university library

*~~~~Set to launch in Spring 2016*~~~~Director being hired

*Tactic #2: IBM Design  '''                                      ''' ==

*Tactic #1: Creativity Course

*Description - In our time spent at Stanford, many of the professors described the classes they taught as creativity courses where crazy brainstorming and rapid prototyping is a key portion of the class. At OU, we have very little of this. Almost all classes, even in the Visual Communications department, are focused on traditional lecture classes. One of our main goals is to promote this creative thinking through working with professors to offer a creative thinking course similar to the one Tina Seelig teaches. This can initially be something that is offered to just a few students and once the benefits are seen, and it is shown that students enjoy using their hands to prototype with PlayDoh and other materials during class, we will look into expanding to offer more classes.*Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips*Milestones -**First class offered - Fall 2014**First Creativity major offered - Fall 2014**Other majors required to take course in creative thinking - Fall 2016

*Tactic #2: Learning By Doing Across Majors

*Description - There are few ideas that span every major at a major university, but one that is absolutely true for each is the fact that a student learns more by doing rather than listening. Universities like Stanford have begun to implement this with the d.school being open to all majors, but OU is slow in this area. If we want students to be as well-prepared as possible when graduating, we need to get the students doing projects that have real-world impacts and allow the students to get hands-on experience. To do this, we can partner with local businesses and work directly with them to develop projects that a small team of students can work on.*Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips*Milestones -**First agreement with company for students to work on project - Fall 2014**Integrate into class - Spring 2015

*Tactic #3: Presidential Dream Creativity Course
