Project Pitch Video
Project #1: Innovation and Design Center Temple needs a central place where any student can go to bring their innovative ideas to life. The end-goal of this project is to provide students of any major access to the technology and know-how needed to bring an idea to life. This would include machine equipment training, prototyping classes, and design thinking workshops. The ultimate goal is a student run Innovation and Design Center to serve the Temple community.
- MILESTONE 1: Obtain a space located on Temple’s Main Campus to host this lab. This is aimed to be completed by the start of the Fall 2016 semester.
- TACTIC: This will necessitate a joint lobbying effort from many campus stakeholders. The University’s president will respond to a joint appeal from multiple schools and colleges for this space.
- TACTIC: As a public university, we hope to obtain funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Regional and national businesses can be looked to be brought on as sponsors as the center takes shape.
- MILESTONE 2: Recruit students to take introductory design thinking workshops. This will be done by taking advantage of the abundance of design know-how in Temple’s IEI. These short sessions will exposure new students to new ways of thinking. The aim is for this to be completed by May 2016.
- MILESTONE 3: Begin allowing students outside of the Mechanical Engineering Department the ability to obtain training in machine shop equipment. This is aimed to be completed by May 2016
- TACTIC: Certify students with the ability to instruct other students in machine shop equipment. If the end goal is a student run center, the students must be able to certify other students!
Project #2: Offer Noncredit Innovation/Entrepreneurship Courses The first step students who have an interest in Innovation and Entrepreneurship should be able to take is to explore their newfound interest. The courses they take will be entirely voluntary, and will not affect their GPA or official transcript.
- MILESTONE 1: Professors will begin holding pop-up classes. They can be about any topic of the professor’s choosing and are not required for degree programs. The first pop-up class will be held by Dr. Brookstein of the Engineering College the Spring 2016 semester. It is entitled “Improv in Engineering.”
- TACTIC: We hope Dr. Brookstein’s inaugural pop-up class will spur many more professors to design and hold their own pop-up classes.
- TACTIC: Interaction with students across campus has led to the conclusion that there is a common interest in a pop-up class focused on prototyping. Meeting this student need is essential to the viability of the pop-up course system.
- MILESTONE 2: Begin offering tangible credentials students can use to track their progress. Temple University currently has a non-credit transcript system called DestinyOne. We hope to have the noncredit innovation/entrepreneurship programs we are developing onto this system by Fall of 2016.
- TACTIC: Offer a way for students to track what machines and equipment they complete training in. At first, the focus will be on offering a way for students to master the machines in the Tyler School of Art and Engineering College.
Project #3: University Wide Innovation Network After interactions with students, faculty, and regional investors/entrepreneurs, it was determined that there is a need for a common network where they all can interact. For instance, students want a place where they can connect with other students to find people with skills they need, advice, or opinions on projects they have in mind.
- MILESTONE 1: Establish an online network where any Temple student, alumni, or faculty can make profiles and connect with one another. The network, however, will be specifically geared towards entrepreneurial topics.
- TACTIC: An official student organization for UIF will be registered with the Main Campus Program Board. From there, it will be possible to utilize Temple’s OwlConnect system for this goal. This is set for completion by November 2015.
- TACTIC: The app/website Slack will be tested for its usability for this networking purpose. This option will allow non-Temple affiliated users to join if approved by the administrator. Moreover, this platform has better mobile capabilities than OwlNetwork.
- MILESTONE 2: Establish a committee of student representatives from multiple schools and colleges throughout Temple that will discuss the current state of Temple’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. The aimed for start date is December 2015.
- TACTIC: The group will start small and slowly add students. To avoid scheduling conflicts, the in person meetings will be held only bi-weekly or monthly.
Project #4: Spotlight Temple Success Stories The best way to get students involved in innovation and entrepreneurship at Temple will be to make them understand that they are actually capable of pursuing an entrepreneurial dream. This will be done by demonstrating how similar students at Temple succeeded in their endeavours.
