Overview: As mentioned aboveA small maker space modeled after pieces of Stanford's d.school, is currently in the culture at Michigan Tech rarely centers works to be implemented in the current Enterprise lab. At this time, there are very few spaces on new inventions campus where students can come together and work collaboratively and have access to prototyping tools and entrepreneurshipsupplies. The Memorial Union Board X (MUBX) is designed to change this through This space serves as a pilot for a series of comprehensive programming opportunities outlined belowmuch larger and extensive invention space that will be expanded in the coming years.
MUBX derives its name from our student programing board: the Memorial Union Board (MUB Board)This space will serve multiple purposes outside of providing a collaborative workspace. MUB Board has It can be used to hold classes in an non-traditional style classroom with an extensive network alternative setup. The Invention Space will also host events focusing on innovation and much brand recognition entreprenuership on campusmentioned below. This new committee (MUBX) The space will have access also serve as an "IP Free" zone in hopes that students would be less worried about having to worry about legal issues with the programming experience, financial resources, University and advisory support that are afforded to our student unionmore focused on creating new ideas.
== 3DS (Fall 2014) ==Key Features:
MUBX will be responsible for bringing the Three Day Startup (3DS) event to Michigan Tech’s campus. The goal of event will be to connect engineers who may be interested in working Movable furniture: tables with a startup to business leaders with ideas that they’d love to see come to fruitionadjustable heights, adjustable rolling chairs, and stackable seating.
MUBX Protoyping supplies: one wall of the room will work be lined with the School cheap craft supplies and an array of Business and Economics tools for students to support 3DS startups that leave the event excited about starting a new venture by encouraging them to enter in the [http://www.mtu.edu/business/newventure/ New Venture Competition (NVC)].use
== TEDx (Spring 2015) ==Technology: projector for student teams to present their ideas and 3-4 desktop computers used for product design
Last year (2012-2013), Michigan Tech held their first ever TEDx. Only 100 tickets were available and at $10 apieceOther: storage space for student teams, they sold out within minutes of going on sale. The event’s reach was limitedportable whiteboards, but provided a breath of energy to the campus. It got people talking.MUBX wants to work with the University to send a delegate (advisor) to the TEDx conference in order to increase the ability of the conference to reach students across the university. == TechMakers I (Late Fall 2014) ==TechMakers will be an extension of the TechHacks concept planned and executed by power distribution throughout the [https://www.involvement.mtu.edu/organization/ACM Association space for Computing Machinery (ACM)] chapter at Michigan Tech. MUBX will support ACM and expand the event students to include all majors and facilitate creation across campus.Teams that move through the 3DS program and are interested in competing plug in the NVC will be encouraged to attend TechMakers I as an opportunity to deliver a prototype to the NVC judges.
