Strategy One: Implementation of an Innovation Center

The objective of this project is to spread awareness about entrepreneurship and innovation within the University of Fullerton. The innovation center will be high-tech space in which students from different majors will have the opportunity to collaborate and pitch projects they would like to work on. Every semester, there will be one project that will be chosen, and within the course of the semester, that project will become tangible. The project can range in size, but the focus will be creating an object or application that solves a problem within the community or within least developed countries. The innovation center will follow the model of design thinking.

Design Thinking Process Stages:

1.Define

In this stage students will answer the following questions:

DesignThinking.jpg
What issues are you trying to solve?

Who is your target audience ?

How can this project be successful?


2.Research

the research stage, students will do field work to gather data

Gather history of the problem at hand

Check if there is someone trying to implement something similar

Determine the supporters of this project ( i.e department, investors, community partners)

Talk to the end user

3.Ideation

Determine needs and motivations of the end user

Brainstorm many ideas that can possibly solve the problem at hand

4.Prototype

Create multiple drafts

Seek feedback from a diverse group of people

Present a selection of ideas to the client.

Create and present actual working prototype

5.Choose

Review the objective

Choose amongst alternatives

6. Implement

Plan, Assign, Execute

7. Learn

Gather feedback from the consumer

Determine if the solution met its goals

Discuss what could be improved

Measure success; collect data

Innovation Center Location: Through our research, we have found that the ideal locationt for  this innovation center would be a place that is at the center of our campus. We have found that students often feel intimidated to go to departments that they are not familiar with.


Strategy Two: TEDx

Bringing a TEDx to the Univeristy of Fullerton would be a way of unifying all the campuses colleges, and serve as a medium to welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. Collectively believing in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately, the world. The TedX events will have many themes, some of which include: Dynamic Women Entrepreneurs, Education,Technology, Innovation, Religon and Inspiration.This broad theme will attract alumni, faculty, and students to showcase their successes in a TED talk format building hype and recognition to them as well as the University. Keeping in mind TED talks is multidisciplinary, and is compatible with any concentration, a future TED talk can emerge from this and can focus on any Innovative breakthrough from any colleges.



Strategy Three: Crowd Funding Campaign to fund and promote Women Entrepreneurs

Objective: To fund a woman in business that is pursuing her own startup. This campaign will accumulate funds over time to provide a scholarship for a woman that is pursuing her own startup.

Purpose: To increase the presence of women entrepreneurs in the field
