= <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: Invention Space&nbsp; =Connecting Students through Sustainability=

A small maker space is currently <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 the works to be implemented different majors. For some reason, there was a barrier that was a barrier that was keeping these students from interacting with students that were in the current Enterprise labother majors. At To defeat this timebarrier, there are very few spaces on we want to be able to incorporate design thinking into some different areas of our campus where students can come together and to better help our peers be able to work collaboratively and have access with one another to prototyping tools and supplieswork on a common goal. Much One class on the Michigan Tech campus that sees a majority of the renovation necessary student body already tackles large world issues in a lecture type setting: Global Issues. Changing a class can take a lot of steps to create an effective invention space has been completedimplement. During this class changing process, but additional support is needed our team wants to gather tools and supplies. This space will allow us get evidence of how students working together to obtain student feedback in order work to potentially expand a common goal could be a good addition to a much larger and extensive invention space the class as well as get students more involved on our campus.</span>

This space will serve multiple purposes outside of providing a collaborative workspace. It can be used to hold classes in an non-traditional <span style classroom with an alternative setup. The Invention Space will also host events focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship on campus mentioned below. The space will also serve as an ="IP Freefont-size: larger;" zone >To do this, our team plans on taking four steps: hosting sustainability workshops in hopes that our campus's MakerSpace, deploying a sustainability survey through the first year students would be less worried about having to worry about legal issues gage their interest on the topic, launch a sustainability initiative on the Michigan Tech campus with the University help of different organizations and the student body, and implenting changes to the Global Issues class to incorporate more focused on creating new ideasdesign thinking and team work.</span>

Key Features<span style="font-size:larger;">'''Sustainability Workshops:&nbsp;'''Initially we want to start out with some 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, a sustainability conversation, and a design thinking challenge to get students thinking about their own environmental "pawprint" as a Michgan Tech Husky.</span>

Movable furniture'''<span style="font-size: tables with adjustable heightslarger;">Campus Survey:</span>&nbsp;'''<span style="font-size:larger;">Next, adjustable rolling chairswe plan on taking a poll through the campus, ideally through first-year students to get their perspective on the new campus they've become accustomed to. In this survey, there will be questions about where their interest lies in different sustainability issues whether it be recycling, garbage, renewable energy, and other topics. This will help see what sort of initiatives the student body would be interested in persuing and stackable seatingseeing implemented on their campus.</span>

Prototyping supplies<span style="font-size: one wall of larger;">'''Sustainability Initiative:&nbsp;'''With the data found from the campus survey, the room team will be lined able to find what larger interests our new students have with cheap craft supplies changing their campus. We plan on taking these passions from the student body and creating an array initiative that everyone can take a part of changing on their campus. This can be done by reaching out to different areas of tools for students 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 work together to usereach our common goal of sustainability.</span>

Technology'''<span style="font-size: projector larger;">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, we want to bring this data to the faculty that teach the Global Issues class at Michigan Tech. We see great potential in this class to help students gain a larger appreciation for student teams the subject. Incorporating more group work to assign students to present different world issues will help students gain an understanding for what is going on in the world outside their ideas and 3-4 desktop computers used for product designbubble on the Michigan Tech campus.</span>

After creating an amazing collaborative space on campus<span style="font-size:larger;">Currently, there will first year engineering students can be plenty of opportunities to host events focused on found using their brainstorming and innovation and entrepreneurshipskills in class. These events will focus on creating excitement about skills are typically not used again until the new initiatives on campus student reaches their fourth or fifth year and recruit motivated are taking Senior Design or join an Enterprise Team. There are many instances where students have a hard time trying to think of ideas for projects because they are trying to focus on what they have learned from the new I&E section of books, but when they get out into the Pavlis Honors College. The Pathways team has been working on bringing in a few speakersreal world, and the student programming board is already planning an event to answer will not be held in the spaceback of the book.</span>

Examples of events <span style="font-size:larger;">This class will help students to continue to use their brainstorming and innovation tools that they have learned so that they can use these tools in the future. This course will also help guide students to think outside the box so that it is easier to tackle problems in future courses and in the real world. This could possibly be held a program of classes that will take <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">place</span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">during </span>both the student's second and third year in order to make sure that the student is ready to tackle the final projects before graduating and heading out into the space include:work force.</span>

3 Day Startup <span style="font- As mentioned family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:larger;">This retreat would help students cultivate Innovation Mindsets by presenting them with real world challenges, and giving them time to work on finding solutions for these challenges, followed by creating prototypes of their solutions by using whatever resources they find in the spring overviewsurrounding area. On the final day, the goal students will discuss challenges in the local community of the event is to connect engineers who may be interested Michigan Tech and how they might go about solving those challenges, as well as other strategies for staying involved in working with a startup to business leaders with ideas an innovation mindset after they would love to see come to lifeleave the retreat.</span></span>

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-size: 15pxlarger; ">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-familysize: Ariallarger; color">'''Canvas Template: rgb(0, 0, 0)&nbsp; vertical'''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-alignsize: baselinelarger; white-space">'''Central Website: pre-wrap&nbsp; background'''<span style="font-colorsize: transparentlarger;">This collection of courses is designed Next, we plan on taking a poll through the campus, to give determine what method students who think they may be interested in innovation or entrepreneurship the opportunity would like to grow, see resources and dabble, in student organizations spotlighted.
