Although a regional event, [https://business.csuohio.edu/entrepreneurship/immersion-week-application Entrepreneurship Immersion Week] is sponsored by CSU's Weston Ideation Lab. CSU supports 6 undergraduate students to participate in this week-long residency program at Ashland University. The last program took place in Summer, 2020.
Unlike the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which focuses more on the business and idea side of innovation, the Dan T. Moore MakerSpace specializes in the physical and creating aspects of innovation. It is a design lab which offers physical space, equipment, and skill-building for CSU students to bring their ideas to life. Machinists provide training for students who can then access additional equipment.
