== Tactic #13: The Design and Entrepreneurship Network (The DEN) Freshman Innovation Program ==

*Description<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">support the Howard University Pre-Freshmen in Computer Science Program (PREFICS). HU PREFICS is supported by the National Science Foundation. The opportunity requested funds are to add two (2) Ph.D. computer science students to take increase teaching and mentoring support for the next three years. PREFICS is a Creative Inquiry three-week, virtual pre-college program for incoming Systems and Computer Science freshmen. The program is built into designed to introduce students to CS, some of its applications, the current SCS department, concentration tracks, department expectations and opportunities, and basic CS principles. The program will be implemented using Piazza [7] and Skype [8], and leverages our “Introduction to Systems and Computer Science” course curriculum for undergraduates. &nbsp;HoweverStudents will be introduced to CS through introductory lessons and assignments on Snap, AppInventor, HTML/CSS, Python, within BioengineeringUnix, these "electives" are limited to research focused classes such as OrthopaedicsJavaScript, Cardiovascularand Google AppEngine. An instructor team comprised of Dr. Nicki Washington, BioSensorsDr. Legand Burge, etcand will lead PREFICS. All course material will be provided on Piazza. &nbsp;These courses are limited This will allow students to those who wish not only access PREFICS content, but also begin to strive to take what they develop in their research laboratories or in their dorm rooms to market where it can serve interact with and assist each other through posting and answering questions regarding content. All sessions will be available via the purpose it was created PREFICS YouTube channel forreview later. &nbsp;ThereforeAll material presented in PREFICS, including course content and sessions, we will be implementing requires a Creative Inquiry known as The DEN that span topics within I&E as a separate sector from which undergraduates can currently selectbasic computer with Internet access. &nbsp;Examples A virtual implementation of such include: Opportunity Assessment and Project ManagementPREFICS was chosen for the following reasons. First, the financial costs associated with housing, Start-Up Business Modelsmeals, Start-Up Finance and Investmentinsurance, and Product Development and Managementetc. for approximately 25 incoming SCS freshmen per year was beyond the scope of this funding opportunity. &nbsp;In addition to a Creative Inquiry weekly meeting, teams of undergraduates will enter The DEN it removes the financial strain associated with technologies they are passionate about developing into ventures travel to and will apply the I&E topics to those technologies. &nbsp;Established entrepreneurs, technology transfer officersfrom Washington, DC that students and venture capitalists will guest lecture to these families would incur. All incoming students to spark interest and highlight are provided the opportunity to participate in this program, thereby eliminating selection of a career in this spacesmall few or only those who can afford to travel.*Team Leader(s)PIs: Breanne PrzestrzelskiDr. Nicki Washington, Sarah Helms (current BioE Master's candidate), Colin Burns-Heffner (current BioE Master's candidate), Natalie Patzin (current Bioengineering Advisory Board President), and Martine LaBerge (current Bioengineering Department Head)*Milestones:**Curriculum Assessment- completed with undergraduate student services coordinator (Tammy Rothell)- November 2013**Preparation of Audience- completed with help from Martine LaBerge (current Bioengineering Department Head)- December 2013**Curriculum Preparation- January 2014**Full Acceptance into Undergraduate Program-Spring 2014Dr. Legand Burge</span>
