However, outside of these courses, students in other disciplines do not have the same opportunity. By implementing an innovation centered curriculum, students across campus would be encouraged/required to participate in an Innovation Project. Multidisciplinary teams would work with mentors (faculty and industry professionals) on developing an innovative idea that would be presented at the Shocker New Venture Competition, or other similar events on campus. Outside of this, the teams would be judged/graded by their mentors and would receive course credit for the work. </span<u/span> == <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">Strategy 11: Community Engagement and Involvement == === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">'''Tactic #1: ICT Innovation Monday''' === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">'''Project Lead: Austin Nordyke''' <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">For being a commuter-driven campus, WSU has little involvement with the surrounding community of Wichita. I&E opportunities that encourage collaboration between community members and WSU students, such as GoCreate, have flourished due to the cross-community incubator it has become. However, these spaces are few and far between. ICT Innovation Monday would open doors of local entrepreneurs and major corporations alike for students to learn about innovation and share their own ideas. Out of these collaborations, students would be exposed to new ideas and processes, be able to meet potential mentors and employers, and find like-minded individuals to pursue their ideas with.  == <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">Strategy 12: Encourage Students to Embrace the Spirit of Innovation == === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">Tactic #1: [IN]novation === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-536e-9c53-20d8-b15e6ea62058" style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; orphans: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent;">For students to embrace a culture and truly feel like they are a part of something, you have to set a precedent from day 1. As potential new shockers visit WSU they have the opportunity to experience campus and the future that may lie ahead for them. [IN]nnovation is an initiative focused on potential new students and giving them a taste of what WSU is really about. During their campus visit, students will receive a 1in by 1in plastic square. On that square, they are asked to write their biggest hope for college on one side, and their biggest fear on the other. After their visit, the “token” is collected and stored until the beginning of semester. Students who are admitted and enrolled at WSU will have their “token” given to a student artist who will be charged with the responsibility of creating a work of art showcasing the hopes of all of the tokens combined. The fears will be to the inside of the work, with the idea in mind that as one part of a greater whole, the students can overcome any adversity and accomplish their biggest hopes and dreams. <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">Strategy 13: Outreach for Underserved Local Communities === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">'''Tactic #1: Innovation Station''' === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">'''Project Lead: Christian Ammerman''' <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">The idea for Innovation Station stems from a crossover of our WUIFx program that is run through Collegiate High School, and was inspired from our Innovation in Action workshop, which engaged high school seniors in design thinking. By engaging in both programs, we found it crucial to help provide students across disciplines, social classes, and locations the necessary tools to actively engage in design thinking and various innovative processes, regardless of their backgrounds. The purpose of Innovation Station is to provide knowledge to students in schools that do not receive proper funding for engagement in both design thinking and STEAM. Ideally, we would like to venture to various schools throughout Kansas, especially smaller, and more rural schools. We would like to give the students a greater world view, to engage in problem solving skills, and to empower them to make a change. This model will be properly prototyped on November 8th, once training has been completed, at St. Anne Catholic School’s STEM Club, and will feature a short introduction to design thinking, what UIF is, and then be followed by a short design challenge. On top of exposing students to design thinking, Innovation Station also provides WSU with positive marketing, as well as markets UIF to prospective students.  === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">'''Tactic #2: Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead''' === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">'''Project Lead: Sierra Bonn''' “Let’s Go Full STEAM Ahead!” is an educational initiative to empower young women to see their potentials within the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Of all the science, engineering, and tech workers in the United States, only 24% are women. To address this gender disparity, young women need to be encouraged to pursue their dreams. Starting with students at Colvin Elementary School, we have prototyped teaching methods to explore STEAM with 2nd and 3rd grade girls. At Girl Scout camp, we prototyped activities for their new Science and Engineering Exploration badges. In Augusta Public Schools (elementary, middle, and high school), we will be prototyping short STEAM workshops that can be taught in 30 minutes - 1 hour, that tie into what the students and teachers are already doing within their classrooms. </uspan><~~sub~~/span>Strategy 14: Encouraging Students to Utilize Campus Resources === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">'''Tactic #1: Shocker Study Spaces''' === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">'''Project Lead: Maggie Brown''' When interviewing students for session two, many of them made comments about only knowing to go to the Rhatigan Student Center, or RSC, when they have extra time but don’t want to leave campus. There was also mention of not liking the RSC due to how loud and noisy it is. There are many places to go on campus that could be used by students as study spaces, but many students don’t know where these places are located and don’t want to seek them out. The purpose of Shocker Study Spaces is to make these locations known. The plan, as of now, is to get permission to mark the directories inside buildings with stickers showing where these areas are, to put a vinyl wall decal that says “Shocker Study Space” in the locations, and to create maps of the buildings with the spaces marked. To start putting this plan into action, we will have to figure out which department, or department(s), we will need to work with to get permission to mark wall/directories and create the stickers, and the logo to go on the stickers. There is not yet a set date for this to be prototyped because there are still conversations that need to happen.  === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">'''Tactic #2: Shocker Scooters''' === <span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">'''Project Lead: Noah Foster''' When reflecting on our mobilization, parking is an issue when it comes to campus, as such, we were thinking of numerous ideas to help solve this problem. Approximately 85-90% of students are living off campus, and there are limited parking options when it comes closer to the beginning of classes. To help diminish this problem, we could implement scooter stations around campus, that would be able to be checked out, like a program that the city of Denver has. We chose scooters because of the ease with which it takes to ride one, and because of the small space they take up, compared to a bike taking up an entire sidewalk. Along with these, there would be stations scattered throughout the whole campus, which would allow students, staff, and faculty to check out the scooters through our Shocker Cards (ID’s). The scooters would be electric and charged in the stations, so they would be able to tell you which has the most battery life. Also, with the scooters, we would map out Wichita State’s campus so that the entire campus would be on it, and a route would be able to generate the path that is fastest from station to station, similar to a GPS system. Overall, this intends to help students for parking and mobility, and if they park far away, they can reach their classes quicker and get to their intended destination faster and with ease.</~~sub~~span><~~sup~~o:p></~~sup~~o:p> <~~strike~~span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy 15: Assisting First Year Students in Learning WSU's Campus</~~strike~~span>
