Strategy #1: Provide More Experiential Learning Opportunities
Tactic 1 - Cross Campus Entrepreneurs' aCCElerator Program
The Cross Campus Entrepreneurs student organization on campus is initiating a 9-month long accelerator program to encourage and grow the students innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. The program is organized to correspond to the three quarters during the academic year. The fall quarter is focused on getting students involved and growing their network. During this quarter students learn how to form a team and create and iterate on an idea. This is also used to break the students out of the mindset that they can't be creative and innovative at the university. Once they have formed a team and come to a project idea, the winter quarter is spent creating a prototype and performing customer discover. This is the "get out of the building" portion of the program which encourages students to get into the community and talk to their potential customers and end users and discover what they desire from a project. The final quarter is spend developing their idea and prototype into a full fledged company by developing a busines model canvas. At the end of the nine months (academic year) the teams will participate in a pitch competition to showcase what they have learned.
Tactic 2 - The Creat'R Lab
The development of the Creat'R Lab which is slated for Winter 2017 aims to provide students a space for innovation by providing resources from craft supplies to heavy machinery.The maker space will encompass several rooms in the Orbach Science Library on campus and will be available to the entire student body. The UC Riverside Innovation Fellows along with several student and administrative organizations have been participating in an ongoing dialogue to ensure that the Creat'R Lab meets the expectations of all parties. By implementing this unique experiential learning opportunity on UCR's campus, our team will be in an advantageous position to market it effectively.
