The first project started as an 3-day entrepreneurial event. The prototype was an illustration where students could choose different ways on how the event should be organised. During the iteration it became clear that one central element, a platform where students can share ideas and form teams, were found best. So the follwing iteration step focused on this platform. During the test of the next prototype it became clear that an application would not suit an one-time event. It has to be more general to create a larger userbase. After some refining and one more iteration the final project was born:<br/><br/>'''The TU App! '''This app should work as an aggregator and bring together all, or at least most, of the information which is already available at our campus. First all the things which students use on a regaluar basis have to be integrated to create the necessary traction and retention and create a userbase: for example grade and course overview, information about available thesis topics etc. In a next step function to foster entrepreneurship can be included: for exmaple a forum for ideation and team formation, information abour available maker spaces etc.

'''Step 1: (create usefullness for students, communication is key)'''

'''Step 2: (foster entrepreneurship)'''

=== Strategic priorities=== The most important point to make this project happen is its strategic positioning. The app has to be positioned as something the adminsitration desires, since it is going to help them to reach thier goal to be an entrepreurial university. It does not satify a need of students, since the students do not have a need because they do not know (yet) what they are missing. '''[1] Communication''' - We want to create an easy and convinient way to spread and gather information about everything which is going on on our campus '''[2] Community''' - Creating a space were all members of the university coem to gather and exchange ideas and information as the first step to create a feeling of community '''[3] Connectivity''' - We want to boost collaboration and bring together all teh already availible offers which help students to become entrepreneurs '''[4] transparency''' - We want to make all information accessible for everyone&nbsp;   === Next steps: === '''[1] Elaborate''' and refine the idea with university stakeholders '''[2] Build and test''' a MVP to profe feasibility '''[3] Set up''' a cost plan and a business case '''[4] Secure funding and the continuesly development''' of the app '''[5] Develop a role''' out plan to bring the app to the campus '''[6] Transfer''' the app into a routine for any memebr of the university
