Strategic Priorities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Berea College Campus

Our delivery methodology will be to create a space, an innovation studio, where we will strive to foster activities that encourage and support innovation on campus, especially among the student body.

This studio will be known as the Berea Innovation Studio (BIS).

Within the BIS, we will have:

Five Strategic Priorities

Coding Saturdays: A partnership with the Computer Science Department to foster coding skills, by hosting 2-hour workshops at least every fortnight (two weeks), on Saturday mornings.

Lead Person: Ability Kakama

Milestones:

  • Space and coding instructors search, August-September, 2014
  • First event, first week of October, 2014

​P2P Ideas Review: At the BIS, encourage students to share ideas, provide feedback for each other, and practice pitches and presentations.

Lead Person: Ali Djire

Milestone:

  • Start, Fall 2014

Makers’ Fair: Partner with the Technology Club to host prototype design and building sessions, followed by a fair to showcase these prototypes and ideas. These events should take place once every regular semester (twice per year).

Lead Person: Solomon Alolga

Key Partners: Technology Club, Technology Department, and Computer Science Department

Milestones:

  • First event, November 2014
  • Draft calendars of events and stakeholder meetings, Fall 2014
  • Next event, Spring 2015​

Hackathon and start-up preparation camps: Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. During the initial stages, these endeavors should serve to prepare these students to participate in other, established regional start-up camps and weekends.

Leaders: Solomon Alolga and Ali Djire

Milestone:

  • First event, Spring 2015

Design projects for businesses and community: Partner with businesses and organizations in the community to work on projects that can be solved through innovation. A business and/or community partner would provide a challenge, and a team of students would develop and design a solution, using the BIS.

Milestones:

  • Identify potential partners and build relationships, August-September, 2014
  • First event, October 2014

Lobby for a class in entrepreneurship: Should be mandated for every student as part of Berea College's General Studies program.  These classes may be subject-specific, and offered as seminars (e.g. Entrepreneurship for Biology and/or Chemistry; Entrepreneurship for Engineering and/or Technology).

Lead Person: Sandra Tombe

Milestones:

  • Initiate conversations with Administration, Summer 2014
  • Seek to have agenda featured at faculty meetings, Fall 2014
