Students can also express themselves through their poems, articles and short stories make use of this opportunity to share it with others. We give them inspirational books to read and this in turn inculcates values in them. After reading a story they share it with those who would rather prefer listening than reading. They can also enact small plays which enhances their innovative skills.
=Fall 2020 Cohort=
=Project 1 : Building of courses with a main objective of expanding the I&E ecosystem=
== Strategy 1: Identify the strengths and weaknesses of students and strengthening it ==
An in depth understanding of students strengths and weaknesses will help us understand and build curriculum according to their needs. It will help us realize where most students need help and also which parts they find easier, this will help us focus more towards the points of improvements and also build a stronger and more focused course.
== Strategy 2 : Instilling confidence in students with an idea and converting it into a business plan ==
Helping students understand the step by step process of how I&E as a concept works will be a key contributor in this course. Helping students get the basics and foundations right will help them convert their ideas into reality. Also helping them convert their ideas into a business model and plan will instill confidence in them and give them ground to stand on.
== Strategy 3 : Reaching out to maximum students in college to promote I&E ==
As we move into a world where things change on seconds, it is very important to ride the wave of change and ensure we make the most out of it. With times even our work culture is changing and according to many, entrepreneurship is the future. Hence exposing as many students as possible to the curse will help young minds ride the wave and also might give them a chance to be part of the future or for that matter even good.
=Project 2 : Imparting emotional intelligence in entrepreneurs who use empathy, problem-solving, and social skills to come up with solution and create strong relationships among communities=
== Strategy 1: Reaching out to the students to understand their thoughts and opinions in an approachable and amicable manner ==
It is said that we might be the masters of our minds, yet we are slaves to our emotions. Understanding and monitoring of emotions are essentials to any student preparing to take on the world. A great king must never seek out war, but must always be prepared for one, hence if one intends to conquer the world then understanding emotions and channeling them correctly is key. But no one is just ready to open up and share, hence approaching students correctly and comforting them can help them open up a bit more and can also help us understand how to help them better manage their best assets.
== Strategy 2: Conducting awareness drives for all the students and helping them understand the essence of emotional stability ==
Awareness on topics like mental health and emotional stability is a forever ongoing operation. No matter how well we think we may know things, we are always going to need help. Spreading awareness and helping people understand the importance of help may just make them realize how important a concept mental health can be. It can also help them better understand what they are going through in many situations.
== Strategy 3: Creating an interactive and engaging ecosystem on campus with skilled staff working on this agenda ==
On concepts relating towards emotions, feelings and mental health knowing how to help is different from helping. We need people who understand this difference and can bridge the gap here. Hence having skilled professional staff can be a huge advantage in these situations.
=Project 3 : Set up a I&E Lab for students to test their ideas and Hold Semi-Annual conferences on I&E in association with ASPERA (E-Cell)=
== Strategy 1: Start small by setting up a lab and encouraging the ASPERA Community to participate ==
Having a space themed or designed with a specific purpose generally allows someone freedom to explore the theme and play around it to test what they can build. Most inventions made today were either mistakes or built in a specific themed place, we intend to offer both. This space can be a starter for dreams or a foundation for mistakes that may one day change the world.
== Strategy 2: Conducting preliminary events to engage students beforehand ==
Creating awareness on this makerspace and its capabilities can help boost young minds to come and explore the space. Conducting events here will attract both students and experts to a single platform, thereby allowing interaction between achiever's and aspiring achiever's.
== Strategy 3: Connecting students with established entrepreneurs to show them that their idea can be a reality ==
Role modelling has proven to be an incredible way to motivate people to achieve. Hence connecting students with their role models or people who have achieved success in their fields will make students either want to replicate them or beat them. This is will ensure growth of both the space and the students and might also allow students to be mentored by those who know and understand the industry.
== Strategy 4: Encouraging students to participate in entrepreneurial activities which will help them lean more towards innovation rather than jobs==
Allowing students to participate in such activities might inspire them to get into I&E and might push them to become entrepreneurs, which is the main goal of the program.
