== = NYU + NYU SOE:Two Strong Traditions, One Even Stronger Future = The community has become even stronger after the official merger of NYU and NYU-Poly. The resources available on campus have quadrupled which the students can tap into with ease.The merger has bridged the communication gap between two campuses so that students and faculty from various fields can interact and exchange thoughts efficiently. This cohesive environment has shown an accelerating impact on the groundbreaking research, Inventions and engineering projects that are coming out of this university. = The Pitch = == == = Strategy 4: Makerspace on campus = After interviewing a lot of stakeholders at the university, it seems like one thing that could further enhance the current I & E ecosystem at the university is a makers space.  A space where students can get hands on experience with prototyping and others tools. Students can apply their in-class knowledge to real-life. NYU School of Engineering is in initial talk of building a makerspace for their community.  Being an engineering school, this space would help foster creativity and design tinkering amongst students and faculty. == Tactics: ==<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them..</li><li>Determine an ideal space on campus that could be useful for building makerspace.</li><li>Seek for corporate partners from the city who would be interested. This would bring in projects for students.</li><li>Regular workshops for students.</li><li>Come up with some potential revenue streams.</li><li>Collaborate with the other entrepreneurial and innovative spaces on campus, for example: Incubators, Greenhouse, Leslie E lab, Magnet etc.</li><li>Host regular hack fests and invention contest.</li></ul> = Strategy 5: SPARK (Tentative Name) = Greenhouse is a home for ideation and collaboration at NYU-SOE managed by Professor Anne-Laure Fayard and the greenhouse guardians (Students). The space hosts occasional talks (Youth Cafe), skill shares and opportunities to meet with professionals from NYU-SOE incubators and industry. It provides a unique environment where students gain knowledge and learn the importance of design thinkering - Creative problem solving, Innovation and entrepreneurship unlike other spaces, which are focused on inventions/ growth of a startup.   The accelerating growth of the I & E ecosystem at the university has empowered the students engagement towards the activities hosted by Greenhouse. This clearly shows the increase in demand for such activities. Innovations fellows, Greenhouse guardians and Professor Anne-Laure Fayard will design a program, SPARK (Tentative name). SPARK would not only open doors for students with innovative ideas but also for those seeking to be design thinkers, innovative or entrepreneurial. SPARK will be designed to bridge all the spaces/resources available on campus and make it easier for students to tap into. == Tactics: ==<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li><li>Design well structured program where students gain overall experience in design thinking, innovation and entrepreneurship.</li><li>Open to students from all majors.</li><li>Curriculum courses: Credit incentives for students</li><li>Program creates synergy between the innovative spaces on campus. i.e enhances the current I & E ecosystem.</li></ul> = Strategy 6: i2e Showcase (Annual) = NYU School of Engineering students are constantly applying the i2e (innovation, invention and entrepreneurship) philosophy in our classrooms, competition, organization, workspaces, and career development opportunities. Campus resources have increased to a level where now students are overwhelmed or have no clue about where to start from. i2e Showcase will be an annual event that will feature display of the most recent projects, Inventions, startups and innovative spaces on campus. A part of the showcase will be networking, where students can explore opportunities that might interest them. Sharing inventions and great project will inspire the students and also empower their engagement towards Innovation and Entrepreneurship. == Tactics: ==<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>Recognize administrators and other stakeholders (students and faculty) at the university who are responsible/would be interested and connect with them.</li><li>Prepare a proposal to show administrators its importance to get permissions to make it an annual event.</li><li>Invite influencing projects, inventions and startups developing at the school to share their experience and story.</li><li>Tour-visit to the innovative spaces on campus.</li><li>Keep the event also open to public, that might bring in new projects for students to work on.</li></ul> ==
