<div><span style="font-size: larger;">A makerspace is an open do-it-yourself space for people to gather and create. These spaces encourage students to design, build, invent and experiment as they deeply engage in science, engineering and thinking. It empowers students to create, ideate and fabricate their own designs. Makerspace’s will expose students to new opportunities, enhance our critical thinking and problem solving skills, and will provide an opportunity to innovate. It will help students create solutions to real-world problems.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 1: Utilise a place on campus and convert it into a Makerspace.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 2: Form a YoungMakers club on campus which will regularly conduct STEM projects.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 3: Identify and accommodate the Makerspace with all the required resources.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 4: Conduct hands on sessions for required lectures to enhance practical knowledge.</span></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 5: Conduct project exhibitions.

<div><span style="font-size: larger;">According to an S&P survey, more than 75% of Indian adults do not adequately understand basic financial concepts.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;">Financial illiteracy causes many people to become victims of predatory lending, subprime mortgages, fraud and high interest rates, potentially resulting in bad credit, bankruptcy or foreclosure.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Teaching financial education can help to instil the knowledge and confidence young people need to make informed financial decisions,in both day-to-day life as well as in entrepreneurial business/startup activities. It includes the knowledge of making appropriate decisions about finance such as investing, insurance, real estate, budgeting, retirement, tax planning, stock market etc.</span></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 1:Conduct various Workshops on financial understanding for students.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 2: Organize workshops to guide young entrepreneurs on campus.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 3: Organize talks by experts on various domains of financial education and entrepreneurship.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 4: Sessions that emphasize on investing in the right way by conducting mock scenarios to experience real life situations.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 5: Organize interactive sessions where students can discuss case studies of various startups and industries and can work as a team to come up with innovative solutions to real world problems.</span></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 6: Implement student subscription to regular business newsletters to keep them updated.</span></div><div><br/><br/></div>
<div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">The world has to change if it has to survive.Taking steps to improve the current environmental situation is important, even if those steps are small. And what better place to start, other than our very own campus,where so many able minded people can interact.Development comes from construction, ideas, innovation and strategies.We have decided to take a step towards the betterment of the campus ecosystem by making proper use of the waste that is generated. Another thing that prevails in most colleges is paper.Tons and tons of wood is used to make paper, and most of the time paper waste isn’t disposed in the right way.We have come up with a few efficient methods to improve this scenario, and by implementation of which the self sufficiency of our college can be increased.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 1: Use all the waste food produced in the canteens to make biogas.Around 30-40 kilograms of wet waste is produced in the college canteens, and this can be put in a biogas plant.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 2: Start a system of waste segregation where dry and wet waste is separated.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 3: Start a community fridge- All the food material that could be of use to others (water, extra food, etc) can be stored in a community fridge.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 4: Spread awareness among students on the importance of proper waste management.</span></div><div><br/><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic 5: Encourage students to participate in competitions that are based on renewable energy projects which can in turn be a step towards a start up.</span></div><div><br/></div>
<div><span style="font-size:larger;">“The Earth will not continue to offer its harvest.

=== '''Strategy #6- "Group studies have always been preferred for peer to peer learning." Neeraj Deshpande '''<br/> ===
<div>As on campus change agents, it would be our priority to change the way peer to peer studying works. So in order to make it more productive and interactive, knowledgeable and to change the traditional studying method on campus, we plan to build a mentorship forum application. The application will be exclusively utilized to connect a mentor student and a mentee. The application would provide the opportunity for students to register as a mentor or a mentee, and start an exercise of mutual learning. The platform would fill the void of ranged academic assistance for the student and can connect the mentee to the mentor of his/her choice. The app provides various features like notes sharing, querying and answering questions. Also updates that the student mentor wants to convey can be done through this application. The students can request for mentorship through this forum from their desired choice list provided.<br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">TACTIC 1:Motivate senior students of the college to take up mentorship.</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">TACTIC 2:Encourage students to go for mentorship forum to get connected to their mentors or mentees on the forum.</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">TACTIC 3: Host frequent one to one sessions for mentors and mentees.</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">TACTIC 4:Set up a periodic feedback mechanism and make changes for better learning experience between mentor and mentee.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">TACTIC 5:Encourage the mentees to take up mentorship once they find progress in their academics, so that the learning process never stops.</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">TACTIC 6:Provide a provision in the app for the faculty members to review the progress.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;"> </span><br/></div><div><br/></div>
<div<span style="font-size: larger;">Makerspaces provide students with access to hands on, state of the art prototyping technologies, encourage collaboration between diverse teams of students from all years and majors, bolster design within engineering curricula, and extracurricular activities and enable students to tackle open-ended, real world challenge. Furthermore, they empower students to fabricate their own design, which helps them to achieve a deeper learning experience, and gain higher satisfaction, also contributing to producing more student entrepreneurs.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">With the increased attention to the role of design throughout the engineering curriculum, the increased awareness of the value of active learning and team based problem solving, the increased support for both faculty-led and student-led entrepreneurship activities, all coupled with the culture shift on college campuses influenced by the maker movement have played major role in inspiring universities to invest in Makerspaces.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;"> </span><br/></div>
<div><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic #1'': Introducing'' ''STEM education:''</span> <span style="font-size: larger;"> An interdisciplinary approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real world lessons as students apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics.</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic #2: ''Identify a space in the campus, which could be potentially used as a makerspace''</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic #3: ''Identify the resources already available and State the Requirements that could be made available''</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Tactic #4:''Have a student run organisation for the functioning of the makerspace along with a faculty mentor and associated professors.''</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;"</span><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;"</span><br/></div>
<div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:small;">One of the most important quality in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship is creative thinking. “Think out of the box” is what everybody says, but practically only a few apply it. Problem solving and critical thinking have been a major criterion in the present years. Having a fresh perspective to one challenge is always a benefit.</span></div>
=== <span style="font-size:small;">To come up with non-obvious, non-orthodox solutions is what people will require in the coming time. So, to prepare the students to create numerous solutions for coming challenges, creative thinking has to be inculcated.<br/><br/>#Tactic 1: Implementing “creative thinking” as a minor subject with credits.<br/><br/>#Tactic 2: Having activities like “The marshmallow challenge” in every session, which will promote team work and other skills.<br/><br/>#Tactic 3: Identifying problems in the camps and finding solutions by creative thinking methods and practically implementing the best ones.<br/>Advantage: Having numerous solutions to one given problem.<br/><br/>#Tactic 4: Inviting alumni placed in reputed companies to share the importance of creative thinking in corporate companies.<br/> <br/>#Tactic 5: Having brainstorming sessions on weekly basis to discuss on the burning topics in innovation and entrepreneurship and finding solutions in a creative manner.</span><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>'''Strategy #9: Creating a student community that spans across branches to promote flow of ideas - Sanjana Baliga'''===
There is a burning need for a platform where students can meet and interact with each other. There are students eager to learn new things and there are also students eager to teach what they know to others. There are a few student clubs on campus that exist, but are not functional. We need to revive these clubs so that they can start organising competitions and workshops for students. Apart from this, we need to identify students from every branch who have good knowledge about their field and can teach other students. They will form the core team of the community. Then we can organise meetups for interested students on selected topics every weekend (say, Saturdays) where students can meet and discuss concepts and ideas. This will lead to greater interaction between students, and creating a conducive environment for innovation. Under this community, we can also have a group of students who work on larger, long-term projects that will help the college. Currently, we rely on third-parties for several software solutions. These groups focused on projects can elect a faculty member who can guide them. To ensure greater participation of students, we will require bus facilities on the weekends. Also, having a space where such sessions can be conducted is essential. Teams involved in cultural activities like art, drama and music can also be involved in this community and have events for students who may want to learn from them.
