= Strategy #1: Pursuing Establishing a Design Space and Making it the Innovative Ideas Center for Student Innovation at Tulane with Novel Classes, Seminars, and Organizations<br/> =
Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #1 over a 2-3 year period:
== Tactic #1: Identify a Suitable Space and Tailoring it to be Used for Design Thinking<br/> == Description: By creating a space specifically for design thinking and innovation, students will have the faciliatated opportunity to brainstorm ideas in a collaborative, encouraging atmosphere. This space will be the center of our movement, providing a tangible location for students to witness and take part in real innovation on our campus. It will be used to inspire entrepreneurship and innovation among all students and will cultivate the formation of interdisciplinary teams. Milestones: #Establish a prototype space in potential location (Flower Hall): 9/14#Create a "grand opening" event that will catch the attention of campus and set in motion student involvement: 10/14#Ask and receive continuous feedback from student users on how to adapt space for improvement: ''Beyond'' 10/14 == Tactic #2: Organize and Establish a Student Led Entrepreneur Association Stationed at Space<br/> == Description: With the space set up, creating an undergraduate focused entrepreneur association will be the next step. Such an organization will use the space as their headquarters and will work to increase the involvement of undergraduates. Ultimately, the orgnization will strive to create a sustainable community of student entrepreneurs that may feed off one another's passion. Milestones #Find faculty sponsor for student organization: 9/14#Create core team through advertising and reaching out: 9/14#Entice student involvement at "grand opening" of space: 10/14#Petition to be oficially recognized by student government: 2/15 == Tactic #3: Maintain Momentum by Organizing Hands-on Events and Workshops for Entrepreneurship<br/> == Description: With a space established and a core team built, the movement to spread innovation across campus can really pick up momentum. This will be through an emphasis on learning and interaction. The space will be a place to organize speakers, hands-on workshops, and competitions. The focus will be on sustainability and creating a process to allow future students to organize similar events year in and year out. #Organize friendly pitch competitions: 2014 Fall#Organize first workshop: 2014 Fall#Possible 3DaySpringboard: 2014 Fall/2015 Spring#Incorporate partnerships with local businesses and incubators: 2015#Collaborate with nearby schools to hold paired event/competition: 2015-16 = Strategy #3: Pursuing the Innovative Ideas at Tulane with Novel Classes, Seminars, and Organizations<br/> = Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #3 over a 2-3 year period: == Tactic #1: More design classes in SCEN <br/> ==
Description: Allowing more classes such as SCEN 6000 and SCEN 4800 that educate in pursuing innovation and entrepreneurship in science and engineering. These classes will elucidate the mechanisms and resources to both undergraduate and graduate students to pursue their ideas. Moreover, independent classes that both undergraduate and graduate students want to pursue (i.e. Biomedical Product Development) to innovate help in pursuing their innovative ideas should be allowed the science and engineering curriculum.
