<div<span style="font-size: larger;">Makerspaces provide students with access to hands on, state of the art prototyping technologies, encourage collaboration between diverse teams of students from all years and majors, bolster design within engineering curricula, and extracurricular activities and enable students to tackle open-ended, real world challenge. Furthermore, they empower students to fabricate their own design, which helps them to achieve a deeper learning experience, and gain higher satisfaction, also contributing to producing more student entrepreneurs.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">With the increased attention to the role of design throughout the engineering curriculum, the increased awareness of the value of active learning and team based problem solving, the increased support for both faculty-led and student-led entrepreneurship activities, all coupled with the culture shift on college campuses influenced by the maker movement have played major role in inspiring universities to invest in Makerspaces.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;"> </span><br/></div>

=== <span style="font-size: larger;">'''Strategy #8: Inculcating the process of creative thinking in the campus. – Mirage J'''</span><br/> ===
<div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:small;">One of the most important quality in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship is creative thinking. “Think out of the box” is what everybody says, but practically only a few apply it. Problem solving and critical thinking have been a major criterion in the present years. Having a fresh perspective to one challenge is always a benefit.</span></div>
=== <span style="font-size:small;">To come up with non-obvious, non-orthodox solutions is what people will require in the coming time. So, to prepare the students to create numerous solutions for coming challenges, creative thinking has to be inculcated.<br/><br/>#Tactic 1: Implementing “creative thinking” as a minor subject with credits.<br/><br/>#Tactic 2: Having activities like “The marshmallow challenge” in every session, which will promote team work and other skills.<br/><br/>#Tactic 3: Identifying problems in the camps and finding solutions by creative thinking methods and practically implementing the best ones.<br/>Advantage: Having numerous solutions to one given problem.<br/><br/>#Tactic 4: Inviting alumni placed in reputed companies to share the importance of creative thinking in corporate companies.<br/> <br/>#Tactic 5: Having brainstorming sessions on weekly basis to discuss on the burning topics in innovation and entrepreneurship and finding solutions in a creative manner.<br/span><br/><br/span><br/><br/><br/>'''Strategy #9: Creating a student community that spans across branches to promote flow of ideas - Sanjana Baliga''' ===
There is a burning need for a platform where students can meet and interact with each other. There are students eager to learn new things and there are also students eager to teach what they know to others. There are a few student clubs on campus that exist, but are not functional. We need to revive these clubs so that they can start organising competitions and workshops for students. Apart from this, we need to identify students from every branch who have good knowledge about their field and can teach other students. They will form the core team of the community. Then we can organise meetups for interested students on selected topics every weekend (say, Saturdays) where students can meet and discuss concepts and ideas. This will lead to greater interaction between students, and creating a conducive environment for innovation. Under this community, we can also have a group of students who work on larger, long-term projects that will help the college. Currently, we rely on third-parties for several software solutions. These groups focused on projects can elect a faculty member who can guide them. To ensure greater participation of students, we will require bus facilities on the weekends. Also, having a space where such sessions can be conducted is essential. Teams involved in cultural activities like art, drama and music can also be involved in this community and have events for students who may want to learn from them.
Tactic #3: Proper Guidance and mentors information. Supportive and knowledgeable mentors and staff for students
=== '''Strategy #11: Increasing the number of hands-on sessions - Sagar Shinde''' <br/> ===
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”– Benjamin Franklin. Nothing beats practical, hands-on learning when it comes to understanding a subject and preparing you for your chosen career. In order to foster innovation there must be an increase in the amount of practical work with specific learning objectives in mind. The hands on sessions can be conducted during regular classes/labs, or else we can have a specific amount of time reserved for them after the regular schedule. Students will be able to solve real world problems and build products based on what they have been taught.Below, the tactics to increase the number of hands-on sessions have been mentioned.
Tactic #4: Creating Makerspace in the campus where the students can design, prototype and manufacture products.
=== '''Strategy #12: Encouraging Entrepreneurship on the Campus - Ajay Chandrapattan''' <br/> ===
“CREATING A JOB IS BETTER THAN FINDING ONE” Encouraging entrepreneurship on the campus is a challenging and significant task . The following reasons are broadly the hindrances due to which students are not involved in entrepreneurship :
Tactic #7 : Creating awareness and spreading the information about various available modes of funding for the Start – Ups like – government schemes like StandUp India, StartUp India, New Age Incubation Network (NAIN), etc.
