'''Project Lead: Sierra Bonn''' [http://letsgofullsteamahead.com "Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!" ] is an educational initiative to empower young women to see their potential within the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Of all the science, engineering, and tech workers in the United States, only 24% are women. To address this gender disparity, young women need to be encouraged to pursue their dreams. Starting with students at Colvin Elementary School, we have prototyped teaching methods to explore STEAM sith with 2nd and 3rd-grade girls. At Girl Scout camp, we prototyped activities for their new Science and Engineering Exploration Badges. In Augusta Public Schools (elementary, middle, and high school), we will be prototyping short STEAM workshops that can be taught in 30 minutes-1 hour, that tie into what the students and teachers are already doing with their classrooms.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The idea in mind is that international students don’t always have ways to get around town or go where they need to go. There have been complaints about the bus not going to walmart often enough or at a convenient time for everybody. If we had WSU students sign up to volunteer a couple hours to take international students places like Walmart or Walgreens or anywhere else they may need to go, it would not only allow them to obtain their essentials for living, but it could also help international students make a connection with other students on campus.</span>

'''<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Project Lead: Savannah Redfern</span></span>''' <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">An Innovation Living Learning Community would provide first-year students with opportunities to gain experience in </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">design-thinking and innovation. It would be a community of</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">future entrepreneurs, innovators, business, and community leaders collaborating together to better the campus and Wichita. </span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-ce81d5aa-7fff-3e1d-4128-99d326bff553"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">During their first semester, they will all be enrolled in the same first year seminar class that focuses on innovation and design-thinking. This will be a hands-on class where students not only learn about the design-thinking process and the resources on campus, but also about issues in our community and campus. There will be guest speakers of changemakers in our community and our campus. Students will learn how to be changemakers in our community as well as what needs to be changed. </span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-ce81d5aa-7fff-3e1d-4128-99d326bff553"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the second semester, students will work in teams to develop and cultivate unique ideas and concepts. During this semester, they will develop these ideas into a successful event, product, club or program for Wichita State or the Wichita community. They will collaborate together and keep each other and the RA and professor updated on their progress. Finally, students will have the opportunity to showcase their efforts in a semester-ending competition with the other teams within Innovation LLC.</span></span>

=== '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #1: WuShock Tank</span>''' ===
'''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Angelique Banh & Corbin Prichard</span></span>'''
WuShock Tank is an annual Innovation competition aimed towards new students or those with budding interests in innovation and entrepreneurship. Being aimed at beginners helps students foster and grow their love for innovation without the pressure or stress of a conventional competition. As well, this would allow students studying majors not typically associated with innovation or entrepreneurship develop their skills and confidence early on in their school career.
=== '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #2: Innovate @ Wichita State!</span>''' ===
'''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Alexander King</span></span>'''
Innovate @ Wichita State! is a video series that serves as marketing for the existing innovation resources here on Wichita State's campus. Providing location, information, and an interview with a member of the resource would help spread the word and increase students' use of the existing resources. This is a weekly/biweekly series that employs video production majors or marketing majors to help develop their skills with a tangible marketing campaign to ensure the effective use of WSU's innovative resources at students' disposal.
=== '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #3: LAS Connected</span>''' ===
'''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Jadie Chauncey</span></span>'''
LAS Connected is a once a month seminar to help connect Liberal Arts students on the Wichita State Campus and encourage innovation within their disciplines. As well, it serves as a way to connect students with each other and form lasting friendships and partnerships to carry them through their careers.
