As a fellow, she learned about innovation, entrepreneurship, and design thinking. After her training, Meenu was able to apply these concepts to her own campus when she found that her peers were unable to make their own ideas come to fruition despite their education. By helping her peers, Meenu was able to find passion in innovation coaching, leading her to her current job today, working as an Innovation Specialist at the Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Maryland. Following, you will find a how to guide on creating an innovation coaching program much like Meenu’s at the University of Maryland.</span></span>
== Why do we need innovation coaching? ==
<span id="docs-internal-guid-cd69de4f-7694-8a62-feba-19d5401d36cc"><span style= Section 2 =="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">In many cases, students may have great ideas but do not know how to make them happen. Because of this lack of empowerment, Meenu Singh helped create a program at the University of Maryland called innovation coaching to help empower students to make their ideas come to life. By showing students how to be more creative and innovative as well as by connecting them to resources and people that can help them in the classroom, innovation coaches encourage all students’ ideas and essentially become a guide or mentor to show other students that they hold the power in their ideas.</span></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-cd69de4f-7695-26e2-3d6d-a0ce4133e776"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Innovation coaching is a peer-to-peer program that allows students to coach or mentor other students at their university. These coaches help foster innovation in other students by answering any questions students may have, encouraging students in their ideas and projects, connecting students to helpful resources, and being a liaison between students and professors. In addition, innovation coaches may help professors modify course curriculum to allow for more creativity and innovation in classes. Innovation coaches are not TAs, though they work in the classroom much like TAs. Instead of being an aid to professors, innovation coaches are present to help students specifically. They are able to answer questions and translate information from professor to student and vice versa. In many cases, innovation coaches are able to help empower other students to see that they can make their ideas a reality.</span></span>
