Project Five: Undergrad I&E courses separate from I&E Minor
Begin Project Spring of 2018 Fall 2018.
Train UIF students, other interested in Design Thinking, creativity methodologies to spread to other students.
Begin with one hour course-Intro to I&E 1001, UIFers design the course
Incorporate original ‘training’ material-TED Talks, mini challenges, interviews to gain perspective about campus ecosystem
Take advantage of faculty members’ input on a potential course-how would they answer questions such as:
What is innovation to you?
How can students excel with a design thinking mindset?
Where are the weak spots in the world of education? Where are the strengths?
How does cultivating an I&E environment become tangible at TU?
Learn to develop more complex curriculum- offer a permanent course for all majors available for all undergraduate students
Allow this course to appear on the course catalog for all schools, offering it in the summer term as well
Potential Project: NOVA Students
Assist NOVA(an innovation program for all studies) students with their individual projects
Help to brainstorm/prototype
Introduce design thinking to jumpstart ideas
Be sure to not intrude on pre-existing work, but enhance it
Delegate really small jobs to each member
Collaborate between projects
Deadline is mostly year-round
Assist current NOVA students
If helping student, follow their personal agendas to keep on track
Get acquainted with new members
On campus//off campus events to promote the group and find fellow innovators
Glassblowing
Tulsa Art Crawl
Studio Blue socials
h. Provide UIF insight
Prototype to learn flexibility, not a standard
Perspective is important..don't lose sight of other’s sights
Look at the big picture
Give workshop to NOVA students-food, prizes, challenges
i. Encourage NOVA friends to apply for UIF

Looking to expand, by way of more high schools or introduce to TU
b.November 30-deadline for teams to apply
$50 fee waived, gives all teams a FREE opportunity to participate
c. Introduce OYEA to TU
Allow teams to give a pecha kucha presentation
Can be presented on ideas previously used in a course
Potential to form teams comprised of students hailing from all the schools of study
Would not require a lot of extra time outside class
Network with faculty and employers (judges) during event
D. April 14, 2018 -Date of competition
Teams present solutions/prototypes to ideas/issues they are passionate about in front of judges-TU faculty, local business partners, esteemed alumni...
Held on TU’s campus-cultivating an innovative campus with students who may one day be undergrads at TU!
In the Great Hall of the Student Union-make the space open to the public to see the presentations, attend the workshops and get inspired
