== <span style="font-size:large;"></span>'''<span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128); font-size: medium;">SPECIALIZED POP-UPS TO INCREASE MAKERSPACE USE OUTSIDE OF BUSINESS AND ENGINEERING</span> ''' ==
<span style="font-size:small;">With the addition of the iCube and iMakerspace to Tennessee Technological University's campus, a key resource for innovation and entrepreneurship is available for all students to utilize. The iCube hosts a virtual reality lab, brainstorming area and classroom, and an iMakerspace loaded with machines like 3-D printers and lab space.&nbsp;Currently, the space is primarily used by engineering students, as well as a small proportion of business students. To introduce students of all majors to entrepreneurship and innovation both on campus and within this new resource, specialized pop-ups should be held which represent the interests of various underrepresented majors in the iCube. For example, a pop-up class which showed wildlife and fisheries students how to 3-D print fish hooks would bring students of other majors into the space and increase exposure to interdisciplinary work with engineering students. Specialized pop-up classes will be open to all students, increasing the likelihood of involving more majors in the iCube and iMakerspace.&nbsp;</span>
