Introduction (Abdulwahab)

The innovation week is a week of events related to Innovation and Entrepreneurship during school year. It focuses on the 80/20 approach which is based on 20% self contribution to generate 80% of outcome; in other words, the orgnizors do not need to create the entire activities and events in the innovation week. To be continued...

Logistics (Rianne)

Logistics is an aspect that will take up a lot of time when planning an innovation week. You will need to be very carefull in planning everything. The more secure you set it up, the easier it will be to define a budget. However, make sure that when you ask people to speak at your event that it is clear that you can't set everything in stone yet. After you have an approved budget and all costs are approved by your sponsors, you can start with the definite planning. This will be a lot easier since you now can make fixed appointments.

Audience (Sanjana)

Audience is an important aspect that has to be considered while organizing an Innovation Week. The greater the number, the better it is. Some of the ways to ensure a room full of audience include   

  • Promoting and adverstising the event.
  • Keeping the best interests of the audience involved.
  • Offering them something more than that is expected.

Cost & Funding (Volunteer)

Costing and Funding may become a hurdle if not planned properly. Start by chalking out the requirements and resources. Approach people (Like head of your school, NGO worker etc) who are in the same field of interest and who can help you to fund this session at your school. A proper planning  can help you optimize your costs.
