The main idea conveyed in the meeting was that the movement had to be student led. Unfortunately this movement proposal fell to the wayside under the red tape of running a university. Fortunately, The Brain Trust was recently made aware of the proceedings of this meeting and is currently following up with the Vice Chancellor of IUPUI in an effort to allocate funds and the people needed to make this proposal a reality.</span></span></p><p style ="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Think It Make It Lab:&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> The Herron School of Art and Design has recently spent $1.3 million to design a makerspace known as the Think It Make It Lab. This area houses computers equipped with design software, 3D printers, laser engravers and CNC machinery. Although this space is currently mainly reserved for Art and Design as well as Informatics students; the end goal is to make it available to the general IUPUI student population.</span></span></p><p style ="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">JagStart - IUPUI Student Pitch Competition:&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> JagStart is a annual competition where students can pitch their ideas for solving campus, local, national and even world issues. This competition is in elevator pitch format and can be taken on by an individual or a team. It is the hope that this gets students in touch with their more innovative and passionate side. It is a good opportunity to get a small feel of what pitching an idea to an audience is like.</span></span></p><p style ="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">IUFresh Implementation:&nbsp;<br/span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: larger;">== A University Innovation Fellowship run program for incoming IUPUI freshman studentsduring Summer Bridge, a two-week transition program at the end of the summer.</span></p> === The IDEA (Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, Action) Project === In the spring of 2018, students from current and past UIF leadership circles partnered with the Herron School of Art + Design's faculty and students in the MFA, Visual Communication Design program to perform design research around the challenge: How might we create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus? This project, which has the support of campus administration, seeks to understand the problem space and propose solutions.
