Overview
Team Skill Building works on strategies to expose interested students with an array of opportunities to learn the fundamental skills of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. These skills range from opportunity recognition and value creation to risk tolerance and intellectual property management. Exposure to these concepts in a team-based environment expands the student's network of potential teammates and support resources, while providing the student with the confidence to test these skills on specific commercialization opportunities.

Meeting 1: October 30, 2013 9am EST (WebEx Session)
Team and individual priorities were discussed
A concern was raised for "Ideas for Funding These Tactics" and was further discussed. Possible options were introduced for additional follow-up:
- Ask successful Unniversity Innovation Fellows (ex: Jared Carp creating an innovation space from an underutilized room)
- Ask alumni
- Seek out appropriate grants
- Find out more about your regional economic development program
Current campus strengths and weaknesses were introduced from which similarities in priorities were drawn
With such a small team, sub-groups will not be formed but instead our team will operate with the goal to complement eachother's progress by providing advice to all and strengthening the depth of our student network. If needed, sub-groups will form naturally between students looking to accomplish similar I&E tactics on their campuses.
