= <span style="font-size:xx-large;">Overview </span>=

<span style="font-size:larger;">Michigan Tech’s campus is poised to be a model for student innovation and entrepreneurship. The State of Michigan has recognized the Houghton / Hancock area as a hotbed of innovation, and efforts to connect the School of Business and the School of Engineering are creating new business opportunities daily.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">The problem isn’t ideas. It rarely ever is. Uniquely, Michigan Tech doesn’t suffer from a talent gap. Michigan Tech’s engineers are recruited around the globe for their hands-on experience and industry-focused education.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">We’ll include a story to summarize the problem at Michigan Tech: &nbsp;One day in early April, a venture capitalist (VC) from Silicon Valley came to Michigan Tech to do due-diligence on a new technology being developed in 3D printing. The VC gave a speech and discussed her time at Stanford. She said, “I never thought about being involved in venture capital, but when I got to school, everyone was talking about starting a business and I felt like I needed to get plugged into that ecosystem.” Michigan Tech lacks that passion, enthusiasm, and culture. These three strategies are designed to remedy that challenge.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">A new center for innovation and entrepreneurship&nbsp;is the proposed solution. It uses new academic opportunities, event programming, and startup support to drive a culture shift towards innovation and entrepreneurship.</span>

= Strategy One<span style="font-size: Invention Space&nbspxx-large; ">Strategies for Expansion of Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Campus</span>=

Overview=Strategy One: A small maker space modeled after pieces of Stanford's d.school, is currently in the works to be implemented in the current Enterprise lab. At this time, there are very few spaces on campus where students can come together and work collaboratively and have access to prototyping tools and supplies. This space serves as a pilot for a much larger and extensive invention space that will be expanded in the coming years.Connecting Students through Sustainability=

This space will serve multiple purposes outside of providing <span style="font-size:larger;">When analyzing the first year experience at Michigan Tech, it became evident that some students felt disconnected from their peers in different majors. For some reason, there was a barrier that was a collaborative workspacebarrier that was keeping these students from interacting with students that were in other majors. It can To defeat this barrier, we want to be able to incorporate design thinking into some different areas of our campus to better help our peers be used able to hold classes in an non-traditional style classroom work with an alternative setupone another to work on a common goal. The Invention Space will also host events focusing on innovation and entreprenuership One class on the Michigan Tech campus mentioned belowthat sees a majority of the student body already tackles large world issues in a lecture type setting: Global Issues. Changing a class can take a lot of steps to implement. The space will also serve as an "IP Free" zone in hopes that During this class changing process, our team wants to get evidence of how students would working together to work to a common goal could be less worried about having a good addition to worry about legal issues with the University and class as well as get students more focused involved on creating new ideasour campus.</span>

Key Features<span style="font-size:larger;">To do this, our team plans on taking four steps: hosting sustainability workshops in our campus's MakerSpace, deploying a sustainability survey through the first year students to gage their interest on the topic, launch a sustainability initiative on the Michigan Tech campus with the help of different organizations and the student body, and implenting changes to the Global Issues class to incorporate more design thinking and team work.</span>

Movable furniture<span style="font-size: tables larger;">'''Sustainability Workshops:&nbsp;'''Initially we want to start out with adjustable heightssome sustainability workshops to see what portion of students are interested in taking a part of a conversation about sustainability. To do this, there will be three different workshops. It will be optional to attend any one of them without attending previous ones to work with the changing schedule of an everyday student. In these workshops, there will be a DIY recyclable project, adjustable rolling chairsa sustainability conversation, and stackable seatinga design thinking challenge to get students thinking about their own environmental "pawprint" as a Michgan Tech Husky.</span>

Protoyping supplies'''<span style="font-size: one wall of larger;">Campus Survey:</span>&nbsp;'''<span style="font-size:larger;">Next, we plan on taking a poll through the campus, ideally through first-year students to get their perspective on the room new campus they've become accustomed to. In this survey, there will be lined with cheap craft supplies questions about where their interest lies in different sustainability issues whether it be recycling, garbage, renewable energy, and an array other topics. This will help see what sort of tools for students to useinitiatives the student body would be interested in persuing and seeing implemented on their campus.</span>

Technology<span style="font-size:larger;">'''Sustainability Initiative: projector for &nbsp;'''With the data found from the campus survey, the team will be able to find what larger interests our new students have with changing their campus. We plan on taking these passions from the student teams body and creating an initiative that everyone can take a part of changing on their campus. This can be done by reaching out to present their ideas different areas of the campus and helping with initiatives that are already in place as well as sustaining our own. We want to be able to create a community where people are able to help each other and 3-4 desktop computers used for product designwork together to reach our common goal of sustainability.</span>

Other'''<span style="font-size: storage space for student teamslarger;">Global Issues Revamp:</span>&nbsp;'''<span style="font-size:larger;">Once we are able to bring different majors together to encourage design thinking to bring solutions to our own campus, portable whiteboards, and power distribution throughout we want to bring this data to the faculty that teach the space Global Issues class at Michigan Tech. We see great potential in this class to help students gain a larger appreciation for the subject. Incorporating more group work to assign students to plug different world issues will help students gain an understanding for what is going on inthe world outside their bubble on the Michigan Tech campus.</span>

<span id>[[File:MTU TecHX.png]]</span> =Cohort 2020 Strategy Eight: Promoting Campus in an Online Forum= <span style="docsfont-internalsize:larger;">When analyzing the online experience at Michigan Tech, it became evident that some students felt disconnected from their classes and student resources on campus. A barrier seemed to had been placed between professors and connecting to other students to get involved on campus. To defeat this barrier, we want to be able to develop a new way students approach online learning. Changing a class and the way the university outreach's to students can take a lot of steps to implement. During this class and outreaching changing process, our team wants to get evidence of how students interact thought the current online systems and also how students get involved on our campus. Updated 2020</span> <span style="font-guidsize: larger;">To do this, our team plans on taking four steps: hosting a meeting with interested professors to create a university template for canvas, create a new grading policy so students are actively engaged in their learning and not forgetting stuff after an exam, create one central website for students resources and student organizations, and looking into ways to help support our IT department.</span> <span style="font-4f2f08f3size: larger;">'''Canvas Template:&nbsp;'''During this step we plan to have ten different professors who are willing to change their canvas sit down and draft a template. we believe that this will help students when going from class to class online to have a consistent spot of where information is located at. </span> '''<span style="font-2554-461b-6f14-0352ab8ba8easize:larger;">'''Central Website:&nbsp;'''<span style="font-size: 15pxlarger; ">Next, we plan on taking a poll through the campus, to determine what method students would like to see resources and student organizations spotlighted. This will give us a better understanding of what we need to develop or fix. </span>''' <span style="font-familysize: Ariallarger; color">'''Grading Restructure: rgb(0, 0, 0)&nbsp; vertical'''In this step we will meet with current professors using the grading system we have identified and get specific research to use in a meeting with willing professors who would like to change their current grading systems. After we have this meeting we hope to have more professors adopt the grading system and get more research. After this we hope to create a university wide grading system. </span> '''<span style="font-alignsize: baselinelarger; white-space">Helping IT: pre-wrap</span>&nbsp; background'''<span style="font-colorsize: transparentlarger;">Like Once we are able to deliver the above steps we plan to help IT with everything. We plan to help them achieve some of their goals that they have been currently working on in order to promote us as more of a tech school.</span> =Cohort 2021=For our cohort, we've chosen focus on areas specifically involving connections. In the wake of Covid, we faced numerous challenges in terms of connecting with others and connecting with the resources and locations on campus. Our approach will focus on understanding what happened from a broad perspective; getting students to explore campus more; helping students learn about what resources exist on campus; and help give them an opportunity to show off their projects and creations. By reestablishing these connections, we hope to foster a more highly-functioning university, and get students to the place where they can be most innovative. ==Strategy Nine: Location Scavenger Hunt==<big>We've noted that navigation around campus can be challenging sometimes. Certain locations can be hard to find, and it's always a bit more work to find places for the first time. To help with this process, we're looking into setting up a scavenger hunt to help encourage students to explore campus and find new locations on their own two feet. Learning is always more impactful when you do it yourself.</big> ==Strategy Ten: Makerfaire==<big>We think it would be awesome to have people from all around the university get together and show off the things they have made. This should hopefully encourage a celebration of accomplishments and give students an opportunity to be inspired to work on their own projects.</big> ==Strategy Eleven: Resource Finder==<big>One key area we saw students struggling on campus was their lack of knowledge about university resources. We are seeking to remedy this by investigating the potential for a website and app that could help students discover the various resources and what those resources can do for them.</big> ==Strategy Twelve: Protocol for an Improved Post-Quarantine Learning Experience==<big>In Fall 2021, students and faculty returned to campuses with lingering concerns regarding in-person education. Easing the seismic transition will require learning institutions to actively engage with their demographics to determine next steps. This is particularly significant in deciding what quarantine-era adjustments will be integrated into course agendas and what modifications will be left out. Similarly, mounting pressure is weighing on universitiesto invest in improvements to their academic offerings following Covid-19. Determining where these opportunities exist to improve learning experiences beyond pre-Covid standards will require detailed introspection that is centered around student and faculty opinion.</big>  <big>The primary goal of this University Innovation Fellows’ project is to assess MTU’s student, faculty, and administrative bodies to generate recommended measures toward developing a post-quarantine protocol that aims to ensure an effective transition towards an improved post-quarantine learning experience.</big> =Cohort 2022=For our cohort we've decided to scale tings back in terms of what has been done in the past, we would like to centralize ourselves off of one identified problem and work together to determine solutions to solve it. This way we can each prop up each others weaknesses and use each others strengths to deliver a polished and useful deliverable. As with the previous cohort we've identifed an issue that students are often unaware of the resources they have available to them, space and how to use those resources in an effective manner to bolster the value they get out of their time with the university. <br /> ==Strategy Thirteen: Student Experience Compounding Journal==Although online resources are plentiful and easy to access we've found from some of our interviews that students sometimes prefer a physical journal, something that they can hold and add to. We think that there is an opportunity to use these additions to create a journal that students can get at the end of the year, read, and then add to if they would like at the end of the year they can turn in short supply at Michigan Techthis journal and then we can add some of the additions to the next year's "edition" for then more students to add to until we end up with a product with a lot of wisdom and insight for new students. <br /> ==Strategy Fourteen: Centralized Resource Finder==Our university environment contains a large quantity of resources available to students most of which can be easily researched online. We have found through various problem interviews that students are confused by how spread out it seems all of these resources are. TechX will provide startups This is mostly a result of departmentalized resources often not playing well with premier workspaceeach other, thus creating a number of similar locations for different resources. This seems like it is a lot of duplicated effort that can be confusing for the end user, featuring and also confusing for people trying to add to these sites or areas on campus. We would like to work with the university to foster a centralized solution so as to improve scalability and modularity of proposing new groups/organizations as well as an open easy way for groups to announce new activities and changes. =Cohort 2023=For our cohort we focused on developing a peer mentoring program for new entering students might help them adjust to a new university or environment. By implementing peer mentoring initiatives that match current students (including transfers and flexible floor planinternational students) with experienced peers. Mentors may provide direction, answer queries, and give students an atmosphere of togetherness. This space will helps them in many regards like specialized help and advice that is suited to their unique requirements and problems, developing self-assurance in their abilities to make it through the educational system, this can reduce the feeling of isolation and anxiety faced by many new incoming students.  <br />=Strategy Fifteen: Peer Mentorship Program (2023-24)=Transitioning into a new college or university, particularly in a foreign nation, may be a difficult and bewildering process. A well-designed peer mentoring program may give the support, direction, and feeling of inclusion that these students require to succeed in their new surroundings. The major goal of this peer mentoring program is to support help incoming transfer and foreign students make a smooth and happy transition. We hope to address their specific needs and obstacles by collaborating them with experienced Tech students, thereby boosting  personal growth, and social development.  Analysis of the information collected from discussions with stakeholders on campus, including faculty, staff, administration made it clear that first year students, specially transfer students and international students feel disoriented on campus during the orientation and transition period. There is a variety barrier in terms of teamproper and complete communication, handholding and individualguidance support to students. Even though there are abundant resources on campus and ample opportunities to explore campus life, incoming students are overwhelmed with the climatic and cultural change, and the onset of semester workleaves them with little ability to get comfortable with college life. We recognized an opportunity to create an innovative solution that builds on existing resources, is attentive to student needs and at the same time, is based on the value space created by faculty and staff.  We will accompany them on their journey and make them feel at ease in our campus community.  <br />=<span style="font-size:x-large;">Completed Strategies</span>= =====<span style="font-size: x-large;">Invention Space&nbsp;</span>===== <span style="font-size: larger;">A modern atmosphere small maker space has been completed to be implemented in the current Enterprise lab. At this time, there are very few spaces on campus where students can come together and work collaboratively and have access to prototyping tools and supplies. Much of the renovation necessary to create an effective invention space has been completed, but additional support is needed to gather tools and supplies. This space will allow us to obtain student feedback in order to potentially expand to a much larger and extensive invention space on campus.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">This space will serve multiple purposes outside of providing a collaborative workspace. It can be used to hold classes in an non-traditional style classroom with an alternative setup. The Invention Space will also host events focusing on innovation and amenities entrepreneurship on campus mentioned below. The space will encourage also serve as an "IP Free" zone in hopes that students would be less worried about having to worry about legal issues with the University and more focused on creating new ideas.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">Key Features:</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">Movable furniture: tables with adjustable heights, adjustable rolling chairs, and stackable seating.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">Prototyping supplies: one wall of the best startups room will be lined with cheap craft supplies and an array of tools for students to use</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">Technology: projector for student teams to call TechX home.present their ideas and 3-4 desktop computers used for product design</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">Other: storage space for student teams, portable whiteboards, and power distribution throughout the space for students to plug in</span>
