'''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=
