== Strategy I: I&E Opportunities for all majors ==

=== Campus Change Vision: https://youtu.be/WSWOEnUE3uE  ===

=== Description: ===

=== Project: ===

To create a university-wide interdisciplinary certificate program where all students from all schools and majors have the ability to take courses towards completing an I&E certificate. Also create an inclusive innovation class to be offered to all majors as an intro course to the certificate program.

Tactic A: Developing a fully complete I&E certificate with administration to be offered to all undergraduate students

Get approval and financial support from stakeholders to create an offical course registration number for this certificate program will provide students with trust that this program is strong and worthwhile.

By seeing what is lacking in their I&Eclasses, we will be able to further improve our extensive introduction class prototype.

Milestone 2:Discuss the class with current professors

~~~~~~[Liz:~~ Ask the opinions of professors on the idea of the class and their personal input on how to make the class possible. Specifcally talk with professors who teach for the existing I&E ~~festival idea, orientaiton activites,~~ certificates and see if they agree or ~~idea blitz booth in freshmen quadrangle?]~~disagree with our attempts at combining engineering and business core teaching into one class.</span~~></font~~>

=== Project: ===

Tactic A: ~~6 week group projects~~I&E Fall Festival

Milestone 1: ~~[TITLE]~~Surverying the student population

~~[Description]~~This milstone will be useful in gauging the interest among the general student population and finding out whether or not they are actually interested in this idea. This will help us determine if creating a festival is a productive use of time.

Milestone 2:~~[TITLE]~~Securing a budget and setting a time and date for the festival

~~[Description]~~This milestone will help us transform the idea of the festival into a tangible and solid project for us to implement on campus. Having both a budget and a place to host the festival will allow us to plan it and put the final touches on getting it ready.

Milestone 3: ~~[TITLE]~~Having the festival

~~[Description]~~Having the festival is the culmination of the planning and budgeting that has taken place so far. This is important as it is what actually allows us to expose the student body to innovation and entrepreneurship and get them excited about these topics!

=== Implementation ===

=== Working with the Outside the Classroom Curriculum (OCC) Coordinator ===

=== Implementation ===Working with the OCC Coordinator will be a good starting point as she will be well versed in forming festivals and activities such as these ones. She will also be able to provide plenty of resources that we will be able to reach out to and discuss our plans with.

~~~~University of Pittsburgh currently has a seperate innovation andentrepreneurship~~ certificate, which seperates possible connections between students and depletes psosible productivity on~~ Tactic A: 6 week interdisciplinary group projects~~.~~

Milestone 1: ~~===~~MEET WITH STAKEHOLDERS

~~~~~~[PROJECT DESCRIPTION]~~We will first need to meet with our stakeholders to discuss the feasibility and funding for these projects. One idea for a theme I have is campus and/or Oakland community improvements, but rules surrounding regulations and funding might be difficult to work around and will need to be well understood before we can launch any projects. We will also need to determine project budgets.</~~span~~font></~~font~~span>

~~Tactic A~~Milestone 2: ~~[TITLE]~~SURVEY INTEREST THROUGH FLYERS, EMAILS, SURVEY LINKS

<~~span>~~Milestone 3: [TITLE]<~~Based on the application results, we will form interdisciplinary student teams of 4. Depending on the freedome we have as agreed upon with the stakeholders, groups will then meet individually with us to propose a project idea or we will let them choose from a predetermined list. For campus/~~span>~~community improvements, projects might include things like creating an art display, an interactive exhibit for a specific building, or something to promote recycling. At the launch meetings, we will explain how the next six weeks will look for the teams and what we expect of them.</~~spanfont>

~~~~~~[DECRIPTION]~~Milestone 6: SPEED BOOTCAMP

To kick off the projects, the teams will all go through a brief but intensive bootcamp to expose them to all the resources they have at hand as well as critical skills such as design-thinking and rapid prototyping.

Milestone 7: WEEKLY CHECK-INS

~~Implementation~~Each week, each team will meet with us individually to share their progress in the previous week and their goals for the next week. During this time we will also review and course-correct their design plans if need be.</~~span~~font>~~ ===~~

Milestone 7: PROJECT LAUNCHES<div>As the projects come to a close, they will officially launch in whatever way that means for them. E.g. An interactive piece opens for use</div>=== ~~Working with ...~~Implementation ===

== Strategy IIV: Creating a social atmosphere for I&E ~~Opportunities for all majors~~on campus ==

=== Description:   ===

~~Currently there is only an I&E Certificate~~ There are a lot of acadmic-backed programs, clubs, and activities that are offered to students ~~in the business school or engineering school~~to expose and encourage innovation and entrepeneurship. ~~This limited offering excludes a huge population of students at Pitt that have potential interest in the I&E career~~However, there is no social atmosphere for for encouraging and exposing innovation and entrepeneurship.

=== Project: ===

To ~~create a university~~startup an innovation fraternity on campus to gather like-~~wide interdisciplinary certificate program where all~~ minded students from ~~all schools and~~ a diversity of majors ~~have the ability to take courses towards completing an I~~. This fraternity will be promote students gathering socially together in support of innovation.&~~E certificate~~nbsp;

Tactic A: ~~Developing a fully complete I&E certificate with administration to be offered to all undergraduate students~~ Milestone 1: Surveying a wide range of students ~~Use the Idea Blitz Booth ideas to gather data from a wide variety of students~~ Implement an Innovation Fraternity on ~~how they would react to this opportunity presented to them by their school.~~campus

Milestone 21:<Gather input from students who rushed for fraternities/~~span>~~sororities~~Prototype Course Offerings~~

~~From our Landscape Canvas, we can easily see which courses are already being offered that can allow a variety~~ This step is vital to creating the fraternity becuase it will determine the success of ~~majors to participate~~ the fraternity in ~~this certificate program while still taking I&E classes that relate~~ the short run. It is important to ~~their major~~gain inpuit frmo students who rushed for fraternities and sororities becuase they would be apart of the population data being collected. ~~Create~~ Since they rushed, gathering input if they would have chosen to rush for an innovation fraternity would provide a ~~final list~~ secure dataset to show interest and success in the creation of ~~these course offerings (especially for students that are in~~ the ~~Arts and Sciences School)~~frat.

~~====~~ ~~Steps~~Milestone 2:</span~~> ====<ol~~ style="~~margin~~font-~~top~~family: ~~0pt~~Arial; ~~margin-bottom~~color: ~~0pt;"><li>Search the landscape canvas for potential courses that already exist.</li><li>~~Gather support: Reach out to each individually to discuss the nature of the class~~ Create a mission and ~~try to determine whether the course will satisfy what the I&E certificate's mission is.~~philanthroy</span~~></li></ol>
