~~~~'''Strategy Four: Series of Innovative and Entrepreneurial Events'''

~~''''''~~Once the first step of creating the makerspace </span~~>on</span~~>campusis complete, there a number of events, ideas, and activities that thespace will</span~~>be used for. One way thespace will</span~~>serve I&E is through different events on campus that are listed below. These include (but are not limited to) Speakers and TED Talks, Pop-Up Classes, an annual Make-a-thon, I&E Workshops, and a number of other events that are sure to pop up as thespace becomes</span~~>utilized and available to other groups on and off of campus. These events can be brought to thespace by</span~~>student organizations, facultyandstaff</span>, interested students, the community, professors for class applications, theunviersity, and a number of other avenues. Findexample ofactivities below.

'''Speakers and TED Talks'''

Bringing speakers to our campus and our makerspace </span~~>to</span~~>talk about I&E would be an amazing way to motivate students to get involved and get thinking about I&E. We would like speakers to cover topics such as startups, design thinking, entrepreneurial financing, and many other topics. We would really like to see the TED-X Speakers come to our campus and present to our students, faculty and staff, the community and any other interested party. TED talks would be a great way to expand knowledge and interest in the I&E field. We would also like to see our own faculty speak about the research that they are a part of outside of classes and office hours so that we can get to know what it is that they are truly passionate about.

'''Pop-Up Classes'''

These classes are an opportunity for those with experience in I&E to share that experience and for those who want to learn more/ expand their knowledge to continue to grow in I&E. Classes would cover topics such as brainstorming, prototyping, design thinking, and creating innovative solutions. === Make-a-thon

~~~~An annual Make-a-thon would</span~~>provide students an opportunity to collaborate between disciplines and to work together to think in terms of I&E and come up with new, future-forward ideas. This is an event for students to come together, brainstorm, prototype, andpossible implement~~~~and idea</span~~>that they are passionate about. === I&E Workshops

Workshops would be a more hands-on version of the pop-up classes that would allow students the opportunity to drop in a session and learn a few things about I&E by physically prototyping, brainstorming, and creating ideas.

~~~~'''Strategy Five: Lack of Involvement from ~~staff~~Staff/~~faculty~~ Faculty to ~~ensure~~ Ensure we ~~move forward~~Move Forward''' == The key to success through change on campus stems from transparent communication between staff/faculty and students.  Tomaintanconstant transparent communication, the campus community would benefit from a monthly fish bowlexercise between staff/faculty and students.  The fish bowlexercise would consist of a safe space for students to communicate with higher level staff/faculty who are stakeholders at MSOE and have the power to implement change. The exercise wouldhave havetwo rounds: 1) Staff/faculty in the middle and students on the outside 2) Students in the middle and staff/faculty on the outside.  Students would submit any question they wanted to discuss via an anonymous survey and a facilitator would run the discussion between staff/faculty and students.  Staff/faculty would ensure that the spaceis welcoming for students to feel comfortable sharing how they feel about campus.  The fish bowlexercises could be broken down into categories per month such as academics, student life, athletics, internships, etc.  The fish bowlexercise would also be live streamed and recorded for students and staff/faculty that could not attend that month's meeting.
