{{#Widget:Youtube|id=RbUSzMxnAFM}}<br /> =Fall 2025=The priorities of the fall 2025 UIF Cohort are: #Improving student awareness for new I&E opportunities such as the new Living Learning Community (LLC) program and the resources it provides.#Giving students a proper foundation for community, knowledge of resources, and creative outlets on Georgia Tech's campus from the very start. ==Strategy 1: Boosting awareness of the new Design Bloc Living Learning Community and what it provides== *Showcase a better and truer perspective on the creative aspects of the LLC*Capture the attention and interest of prospective students with the current events/activities LLC members experience*Engage with incoming freshman through unique social media or marketing tactics that target them (campus touring, dedicated socials...) '''Owner: Amiti Arunmozhi''' ==Strategy 2: Increasing longevity of mentorships in entrepreneurship processes for early interest in startup process== *Showcase small case startups at an early stage to gauge and inspire interest*Share success stories of how other mentors stay connected with their companies*Frame the mentorship process as a successful monetary and social investment*Reduce number of groups each mentor works with for more specialized assistance '''Owner: Neel Bhatt'''==Strategy 3: Setting the foundation of community, knowledge of resources, and creative outlets== *Introduce first year students (and beyond) to the individuals involved in or running these makerspaces*Expose new students to tools, communities, and methods through the processes and work of Peer Instructors, Assistants, Mentors, etc.*Inspire student to take part in creative spaces and become ambassadors for creativity on campus '''Owner: Kathryn Hoang''' =Fall 2022=The priorities of the fall 2022 Design Bloc UIF cohort are: #Encourage more people of different majors and age ranges to get involved with Design Bloc by providing a larger range of guidance and workshops#Focus on ways to enhance learning by evaluating the effectiveness of Design Bloc's programming ==Strategy 1: Expanding design bloc's mini-mester program== *Host seminars for various fields of study not taught at Georgia Tech, like visual communication, digital art, philosophy, and more, taught by visiting experts and fellows (some UIF-ers?)*Foster a culture where students from all disciplines can communicate without pressure, both online or face-to-face*Offer various perspectives as a source of inspiration and guidance through diversity of participants Junzhe Yan ==Strategy 2: Bringing design bloc to a higher and more collaborative level== *Introduce and supply various creative and/or niche software and tools to students and faculty*Inspire various ways of prototyping beyond the typical physical model/3D modeling framework*Ensure students from various majors are comfortable working at and with design bloc Yixiao Zhang ==Strategy 3: Evaluating effectiveness of pre-existing design thinking programs== *Survey design bloc workshop participants on how effective the programs are*Encourage the development of strong professional support systems and healthy, career-centric mentorships that continue even as people graduate*Ensure students have access to feedback from people of varied perspectives and ranges of opinion as they work Jemma Siegel =Fall 2020= The primary priorities of the Fall 2020 Design Bloc cohort are to: #Spread Design Thinking to the entire campus#Foster community among students and faculty to facilitate innovation & entrepreneurship ==Strategy 1: Faculty Learning Initiative== *Teach design thinking to all incoming faculty*Create a culture of collaboration and interdisciplinary work*Equip assistant professors with design thinking tools to improve their research and teaching '''Owner: ''' Tynan Purdy ==Strategy 2: Project Development Class== *Supply space, resources, and class credit to develop upon a project that was deemed "finished"*Emphasize the user testing, iteration, and redesign parts of the design process*Equip students with a stronger knowledge of how these processes work within the industry and with actual users '''Owner: ''' Madison Lovelace ==Strategy 3: Virtual Collaboration== *Encourage academic and non-academic collaboration beyond on-campus meetups*Recreate the spontaneity of "mutual friend meetups" as a way to meet new people*Develop a centralized location for students to find each other online <b>Owner:</b> Yuma Tanaka ==Strategy 4: Design Thinking in Freshman Seminar== *Expand design thinking within the introductory freshman course, GT 1000, in order to increase exposure to design thinking early on*Create multiple Introduction to Design focused classes within this program as well as implement design thinking curriculum into both general courses as well as major-specific courses where design thinking becomes applied to the specific major. '''Owner:''' Cole Campbell =Fall 2019= The primary priorities for the Fall 2019 cohort are to: #Build awareness of opportunities in I&E through interdisciplinary courses, clubs, and spin-outs.#Enhance discovery of innovation and entrepreneurship by integrating course topics with I&E - especially in classes with a focus on one or the other - so that the two areas can be combined. ==Strategy 1: Enhance discovery of I&E by connecting course topics with those areas== *Start monthly "Entrepreneurial Spotlight" where a short, 2-3 minute presentation is given at the beginning of the lecture period. The presenter will talk about an entrepreneurial opportunity on campus - such as CREATE-X - and relate the opportunity to course topics or projects.*Work with Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Innovation Team to organize TA's and students in BME to be presenters first.*As project gains momentum, can be worked on with other major-related student organizations to work the projects into other majors' classes. ==Strategy 2: Improving the teaching of I&E across campus by integrating learning and experimentation processes== ===Tactic 1: Courses are lacking in the combination of both innovation and entrepreneurship=== *Create a portfolio that allows students to reflect on the innovation and entrepreneurship skills that they have gained throughout their curriculum.*Improves upon previous design by making portfolio project more ambiguous to encourage personalization and personal reflection.*Helps to thread together multiple years of reflection and design thinking. ===Tactic 2: The combination of experimentation and learning is not interdisciplinary=== *Create a club enabling all students to develop conceptual and experimental I&E skills.*Facilitate activities encompassing both innovation and entrepreneurship.**Mock Startup**Student Shark Tank**Escape the Startup =Fall 2019= Strategic Priorities of the Fall 2019 Design Bloc Cohort #Bridge the gap between college and industry#Reward students for pursuing their personal development goals in place of grades#Direct student entrepreneurs to solve immediate issues in the communities surrounding Georgia Tech ==Strategy 1: Bridge the gap from college to industry== ===Tactic 1=== *Develop an app to solve a simulated problem related to a company’s product, which also includes a wireframing session*Students partner with companies in industry to solve a problem '''Owner:''' Margaret Lu ===Tactic 2=== *Developing “minimester” classes that teach students specific skills used in their own industry. '''Owner:''' Jordan Lym ==Strategy 2: Reward students for pursuing their personal development goals== *Allow formation of groups to define their own problem statement for an extra credit semester-long project that applies the theoretical principles learned in class on a topic of interest of the students*After 4 weeks of accelerated instructional lectures that cover all the fundamental theoretical principles of the class, the project is released. As a result, the students will be able to apply theoretical principles taught in class on a project that lies within an area of interest to them, ensuring that they visualize the curriculum of the class as a stepping stone in achieving their personal goals**Giving the students the opportunity to define their own problem statement will trigger their curiosity to explore the material to a deeper level of understanding**The group project will foster a collaborative culture instead of the competitive culture that is present in most classroom environments, that will extend beyond the group project module to the lectures, recitations, written assignments etc '''Owner:''' Stefanos Charalambous ==Strategy 3: Enable student-entrepreneurs to solve problems in the local community== *Address high-profile incidence of crime in nearby Home Park neighborhood*Coordinate partnership with Georgia Tech Police Dept. and Create-X startup incubator to host Crime-Prevention Hackathon**Challenge student teams to develop, prototype and test a solution to prevent crime in Home Park neighborhood over 24-hour competition*Encourage both technical and non-technical specialists to apply**Advertising event as open to all majors and backgrounds**Leave a wide range of possibilities for requested final product: ranging from community-engagement event to physical crime-prevention tool*Design for key stakeholders’ requirements by:**Hosting firsthand victims of crime from Home Park community, GT student body, and GTPD officers to share their experiences at event kickoff**Facilitating conversations and client-feedback between these stakeholders and student teams throughout the event*Ensure long-term execution of winning project**Offer winning team a position in summer-long startup incubator program through Create-X **Grant winning team $5,000 in seed funds to implement solution **Over the following semester, winning team meets monthly with GTPD, Create-X entrepreneurship advisor and Home Park community representatives to review progress and receive feedback '''Owner:''' Hunter Schaufel =Fall 2017= The primary priorities for the Fall 2017 cohort are to: #Build awareness and visibility of interdisciplinary courses on campus, especially for first-year students.#Combat the following issues with I&E resources on campus: they are too competitive with each other, they are too exclusive, they serve too small a niche, and they are inaccessible. ==Strategy 1: Build awareness and visibility of interdisciplinary courses on campus, especially for first-year students== *Curate in-person experiences where we can engage with first-year students.*Encourage hands-on activity and experimental learning, as a gateway to enrolling in the course.*Use social atmospheres to advertise and help students catch the "design bug".*Assist students in registering for the courses that they like.*Use the data and feedback from students to improve the I&E curriculum on campus. ==Strategy 2: Combat the following issues with I&E resources on campus: they are too competitive with each other, they are too exclusive, they serve too small a niche, and they are inaccessible.== ===Tactic 1: Resources are in constant competition with each other=== *Currently, different I&E initiatives on campus are competing for funding, visibility, and students. How might we encourage them to work together, and also prevent further competitive initiatives from beginning?*Create a map of I&E resources available to students at Georgia Tech. Use the following categories to sort the resources: maker space, mentorship, funding, classes, events, industry connections*Use the map to display 1) what of the 6 categories is offered at what initiative, 2) where partnerships exist, 3) how students can get involved, and 4) how partners can get involved.*Incentivize partnerships (as in, instead of creating your own makerspace with a special mentorship program only for one major, partner with a currently existing makerspace to create a mentorship program) by using it as a status symbol on the map. ===Tactic 2: Resources are too exclusive, and silo-ed off in different departments=== *Partner with the Vertically Integrated Projects program*Teach classes to students in VIPs, who are often diverse in major and age*Engage a broad range of students in design thinking exercises, while teaching them how to apply it to the work they are already doing*Advertise VIPs that now have design thinking experience
