<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The following two strategies will address the physical and psychological barriers which confront students seeking help with their entrepreneurial and innovative ideas. These strategies focus on the accessibility of resources and how they can be improved to reach more students.</span></span>

Informational Session <span id="docs-internal-guid-48c4a657-8160-4bd5-70a0-15003d24fc0e"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(come hear 51, 51, 51); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1 - Create an interdisciplinary innovation and entrepreneurship space at ASU’s Tempe campus which is open late, open to all students, and NOT part of an existing department. This space will focus mostly on being a collaboration space, not a makerspace. Instead of having large tools present, it will instead be a great place to whiteboard your plans, offer feedback pitch your ideas, and find out where to go for the next step. This space is being envisioned and pitched for in Hayden Library, a central campus location which already boasts long hours, an attached coffee shop, and help expand opportunities ample area for group collaboration. The existing group space will be replaced with an open floor plan, movable whiteboards and tables, and ceiling dropdowns for power. This space will be modeled off the Google Garage and serve a similar purpose, a place for teams of individuals from different parts of the organization to meet, brainstorm, and do simple prototyping. On the walls we will have large signs with the steps for design thinking, an example Business Model Canvas, and a connections board for entrepreneurs looking for individuals with specific skillsets. All of the campuses prototyping spaces will also be advertised with what tools they have and what you can do at each location along with how to get certified to work in a given space. We hope this will act as a central location for all students)to work in interdisciplinary teams and plan their next steps.</span></span>
*Where<span style="color: TBD*Whenrgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: TBDpre-wrap;">2 - Network the various small scale labs and makerspaces on campus together. These spaces should be advertising that the other spaces exist, should be open to all students (with a caveat that they need to be primarily for their departmental students during finals/major project times), and should share certification for tool use. Currently, we have identified the Digital Culture FabLab, the Design School Digital Lab, and the CLAS Mechanical Instrument Shop as locations that could and should share resources and students. Making these spaces known, available, and networked is a second goal of this terms fellows.</span>*RSVP: TBD<div><br/></div>
