*'''<span style="font-size: medium">Tactic #1: Resources are in constant competition with each other.&nbsp;</span>'''**<font size="3">Currently, different I&E initiatives on campus are competing for funding, visibility, and students. How might we encourage them to work together, and also prevent further competitive initiatives from beginning?</font>**<font size="3">Create a map of I&E resources available to students at Georgia Tech. Use the following categories to sort the resources: maker space, mentorship, funding, classes, events, industry connections</font>**<font size="3">Use the map to display 1) what of the 6 categories is offered at what initiative, 2) where partnerships exist, 3) how students can get involved, and 4) how partners can get involved.&nbsp;</font>**<font size="3">Incentivize partnerships (as in, instead of creating your own makerspace with a special mentorship program only for one major, partner with a currently existing makerspace to create a mentorship program) by using it as a status symbol on the map.&nbsp;</font>*<span style="font-size: medium">'''Tactic #2: Resources are too exclusive, and silo-ed off in different departments.&nbsp;'''</span>**<font size="3">Partner with the Vertically Integrated Projects program</font>**<font size="3">Teach classes to students in VIPs, who are often diverse in major and age</font>**<font size="3">Engage a broad range of students in design thinking exercises, while teaching them how to apply it to the work they are already doing</font>**<font size="3">Advertise VIPs that now have design thinking experience</font>*<span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #3: Resources are too inaccessible, and too under-the-radar'''</span>**<span style="font-size: medium">Initiate a low-barrier to entry course for freshmen that introduces them to design thinking through makerspaces</span>**<span style="font-size: medium">Each person in the class gets to work on a tangible project where they apply design thinking, and can visualize what success looks like</span>
