<h2> == Enable students by creating a collaborative space for creativity, design, and innovation. </h2>== <p>Objectives:</p><p>1. Foster ideas, collaboration and creativity for students of all disciplines.</p><p>2. Create and sustain a culture of doing, making, innovation and entrepreneurship.</p><p>3. Promote learning by doing and providing resources to enable students to transform ideas into products that could be commercialized.</p><p>Many of the most forward thinking companies provide spaces for employees that encourage innovation. Well designed spaces often serve as catalysts for enhanced collaboration and innovation. We will create collaborative spaces for students that allows for greater creativity, design and innovation on campus. By holding events and meetings in the spaces, students across all disciplines will begin to use the spaces to work with others projects.</p><p>In addition to having a few dedicated spaces, there are many common areas that would make excellent pop-up spaces. We will provide guides and resources to students to successfully create a temporary collaborative space of their own anywhere on campus.</p><h3> === Brown Design Lab (not official name) </h3>=== <p>In collaboration with Professor Jered Dean of Mechanical Engineering, we will work to transform the Brown basement into a collaborative workspace for student projects, meetings, workshops and classes. The space has open hours allowing students from every major and grade level to collaborate on academic or personal projects.</p><h3> === betaversity </h3>=== <p>Bringing <a href="[http://betaversity.com/">betaversity's</a> ]&nbsp;betaspace or betabox to Mines would provide students with a modern prototyping space so students can apply their creativity and knowledge to develop innovative solutions.&#160nbsp;</p><p>betaboxes can be configured in the following ways:</p><ul><li>*Maker Package: 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, CNC's and more</li><li>*BioHacking Package: Gel Boxes, Stir Plates, and more</li><li>*Speed of Thought Package: duct tape, fuzzy wires and more</li><li>*Electrical Package: Arduinos, Raspberry Pi's, soldering, servos and more</li></ul>
