== Strategy # 1 UC Resources Map ==

resources and to encourage and promote I&E culture on a broad spectrum. This project takes the multifaceted approach addressing multiple issues at once. The website/app will have different subpages to meet different functional requirement. However, the project can also be considered incremental and be implemented in stages as followed:  A physical map of campus that identify key locations related to I&E. E.g. location of workshop, maker space, millhouse, working spaces.  A list of off campus resources and supporting organizations including E24, CBR innovation network, KILN incubator this is essentially the landscape canvas organized and visualized. However, this can also include external services run by graduated or current UC students, for example, “Interation”, a 3D printing service by Jon Clever a recent graduate offering discount to current students. Linking these key resources can allow student to easily access services they need for their ideas.  A list of coming events related to I&E, information and location of those events. This list should include details like accessibility, ticket requirement and related event.  Once I&E culture are more grounded at UC, it is expected that the user base for this website will increase along with number of student projects in I&E. In reality, this page can also expand beyond I&E and reach into research projects. With sufficient number of users, students seeking collaboration can be listed as well as available idea and projects open to students to join. For example, architecture student seeking sociology student and urban planning student to participate in an international competition or industrial design student seeking business student to collaborate to commercialize designs. This is aimed to break down barrier and improve cross-disciplinary collaboration and further facilitate campus connectivity.  A search function from a data base that includes key words and topics of above information, so that students can quickly find resources/events/other students and projects.  An interlinked community with strong presence is successfully established.  == Milestones: == Location key resources and key project participants Finding students/staffs from different faculty to locate and report key resources to list in the website. Students and staff members can be approached through emails, posters or simple spread of words. In this manner, locate IT students and visual communication students to form a collaboration group. Design and build the website. Architecture students can be recruited to model a 3D interactive campus map. All student participants can be rewarded by project experience and friendship. Alternatively, construction of this project can be offered as an experimental course testing collaboration and design initiatives of students. Listing projects and events Finding student with real or proposed project to list on the website. List ongoing research projects at UC, thus the website/app can also be used publicly to promote UC projects. List I&E events on the website with comprehensive details so students can easily access information about future I&E events. Promotion and building a positive cycle Promote the website through events, lectures and workshops. The website itself will promote events and as such forms a reinforcing cycle of connectivity. Maintenance and updates Select students to run the website, this is potentially linked to students in the proposed committee/taskforce. Potential to generate income from advertising local business and start-ups

== Strategy # 2 UC Student I&E committee ==

As identified by Innovation Fellow Amannda Huot, disjointed of resources inhibits uninitiated students to experience I&E opportunities. Where a strong, student-led Innovation committee of students would be incredibly beneficial in promoting the various entrepreneurship resources. Where this student-led innovation committee effectively takes on managerial and promotion responsibilities of I&E on campus. During our research on the current ecosystem we noticed many past on campus I&E projects since 2018 are now inactive. We recognized the importance of continuity of I&E projects, this highlights the importance of updating and maintenance of projects on a timely manner as well as recognizing currently active students will eventually graduate and thus selecting successor is a key step to preserve and further growth of I&E culture. We propose an update on Student Led Innovation Committee that specifically address the issue of ongoing maintenance. Considering UC has assigned staff to manage I&E resources on campus, an I&E taskforce consisting of student representatives and professional staffs is a way to directly manage and control I&E resources, promotion and projects. However, we believe the bottom-up student approach should be maintained in order to maintain that student perspective. However, university staff can select or offer the student representative position to students deemed capable and passionate. With periodic meeting and reports to ensure ongoing maintenance and updates.  == Milestones: == Selecting student representatives An issue the current clubs and societies faced by the university is that some presidents in the club only wanted to obtain the title to display in CV. Selecting student representatives can be conducted by open offer to students and/or selecting passionate students. Regularly meeting should be set between university staff and the student representatives to ensure project and goals are successfully implemented. Clearly define roles to student representatives Specific roles should be assigned to student representatives. As an alternative to Amannda Hout’s proposed structure. We suggest a flat structure with specializations. The roles we currently propose include event organizer(s), promotion and media manager(s), projects manager(s) and maintenance officer(s) each having distinctive duties that complements each other.  Event Organizer(s) – Organization and coordination of I&E events, however the event organizer is also tasked with finding out suitable events and designing them in the context of UC.  Promotion and media manager(s) – Produce promotional material and media releases on I&E of UC. He or she is also responsible for promoting a general awareness of I&E culture on campus.  Project manager(s) – Tasked to discover and organizing student I&E projects. The project manager(s) are also capable I&E thinkers who can guide students to imitate their own I&E projects.  Maintenance officer(s) – are students tasked with collection information from other

== Strategy # 3 Cross-disciplinary lectures and workshops ==

During our interview with students and meetings with university staff members we discovered that student engagement and education silo are major issues faced by University of Canberra students. From I&E perspective, we noticed that uninitiated students have very little knowledge of I&E resources and opportunities. With no current cross-disciplinary workshop and lectures, we were able to ideate a solution to promote more student engagement with I&E culture and the opportunity to be exposed to other disciplines as well as staff and students from different faculties. The solution we propose are series of cross-disciplinary lectures and workshops focused on I&E concepts. Establish a topic of conversation/lecture or workshop series which is open to all students. For example, a screening of a series of documentaries and films on I&E. “Foundation”, where lecturers from faculty of education, arts and design, science and technology and business are invited to discuss, comment and critic I&E concepts as shown in the film in relation to University of Canberra. While the documentaries can be a way of promoting I&E idea to students, the discussion following the film provides opportunity for student to learn more about I&E in context of Canberra and available local resources. This is also a way of promoting cross disciplinary connection and engagement. Milestones: Deciding suitable events I&E events including lectures and workshops shouldn’t be selected at random. Carefully planned lectures and workshop series should be selected in the suitable context (Canberra) in order to maximize student engagement. Once the topic has been established, identify key participants (including staff from relevant faculties, local I&E network and entrepreneurs) as lecturer/mentors is the next critical stage. Promote event through various media One of the biggest issues of UC is lack of cross media promotion of events. To ensure student participation, the lecture/workshop events should be promoted in multiple channels including social media, flyers, emails, newsletters as well as the resource map and I&E task force as suggested in other strategic priorities. Review of the event It is very important to review the event to gauge student participating and learning experience. Content, lecturer/mentor of the workshop and lectures can then be modified to improve the coming events. A positive cycle of I&E engagement can only be built with consistent effort.

opportunities for I&E across faculties. To address this, a class or program could be designed to bridge the Faculties of Arts & Design (FAD) and Business, Government & Law (BGL). This would give students the opportunity to meet new people, introduce them to new thinking styles, strategies and behaviours and expose them to a broader range of agile skills placing them on a stronger footing when they move forward in their professional journeys.  == Milestones: == Approval and support of stakeholders Gain permission from important stakeholders from FAD and BGL for a small-scale workshop/prototype, this could be held during orientation week or week 8 of the semester. Market research + Prototype Interview students and potential teachers to refine topics of interest for class. Organise a small group of interested students/teachers to put protype class together. Hold Prototype Workshop Market event to target students and hold prototype event and take on board feedback for further refinement. Report event results to faculty stakeholders and the chancellor, discuss opportunities for refinement and further events. Report Findings and feasibility If event is successful organise discussions with university stakeholders for potential to be included in the long term (5+ year) curriculum planning. Take it further After implementation and review reach out to other faculties and stakeholders (include students) for further collaboration opportunities. How could this be rolled out to create further unique learning and collaboration with areas such as Education, Health and Technology.
