Introduction to The Innovation Week (Abdulwahab)
The innovation week is a week during the school year full of events related to Innovation and Entrepreneurship. It focuses on the 80/20 approach which is based on 20% self contribution to generate 80% of outcome; in other words, the organizers do not need to create the entire activities and events in the innovation week. This goal can be achieved by contributing with different parties who share the same interest of helping the students gain most necessary skills and knowledge of I&E and its importance in the 21st century.
Goals (Vishunpriya)
Our main objective is to empower students with innovation and entrepreneurship mindset and skills in a week full of fun and enrichment activities.
Setting goals means that they must be powerful and S.M.A.R.T:
- S- specific
- M- measurable
- A- achievable
- R- relevant
- T- time based
The goals must be well defined and clearly stated at the first stage of planning the innovation week. Since a precise target makes it easier to get the results you want. Also, make each goal a positive statement of success. Explore your campus since it might have other groups who have the same goals and form partnerships with them. Partnering with other groups, can divide the workload or get more mileage out of the work that you do.
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 careful 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 advertising the event.
- Keeping the best interests of the audience involved.
- Offering them something more than that is expected.
Cost & Funding (Sanjana)
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.

Evaluation (Royal)
- Making sure to increase the number of the school students who join the innovation week organized in our school.
- Present any form of discussion more delightfully as we need students to gain interest in attending more events like this.
- Receive feedback from the presenters since they were facing and interacting with the audience. By receiving the feedback from the presenter, we don't need to make a lot of surveys and survey all the attendance.
