*Newmont Innovation Competition: Newmont Mining Co. donated $70,000 to Mines to host an innovation competition around the industry of mining. I got to take part in planning and facilitating the competition two years in a row.
*Maker Spaces at Mines: Mines currently has three new maker spaces thanks to the Mines Fellows! I got to help design two of the spaces that get used by students every day. *#UIFresh: I was given a few hours during freshman orientation to conduct creative thinking, design thinking, and rapid prototyping workshops to introduce freshman to I&E in order to increase retention rates in STEM. I got support from major faculty on campus and the letter of support, along with many letters from other fellows at different universities, were published by t he white house.
*I&E Workshops: I've conducted various design thinking and lean canvas workshops in classes, during clubs, and for faculty.
*Mines Regional Meetup: The Mines Fellows are planning an incredible regional meetup for September 6th-9th, 2018! We are ready to show off our lovely State of Colorado and our new and improved university! We've planned things like hiking, rock climbing, walks along the creek, a design challenge around disabilities, numerous ignites from Fellows, inspirational speakers, and lots of community bonding.
