The University Innovation Fellows are part of a national movement to ensure that students gain the necessary attitudes, skills and knowledge required for them to compete in the economy of the future. These student leaders from schools around the country work with their peers to catalyze even greater levels of innovation and entrepreneurship activity on their campuses.
The program is run by the [[National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation]] (Epicenter), funded by the National Science Foundation as a partnership between Stanford University and VentureWell, formaly known as the [[National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance]] (NCIIA). University Innovation Fellows call on engineering students and their peers to dream, design and deliver innovations that solve real-world problems.

=== What's Your Moonshot? ===
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 20.15999984741211px;">The original "Moonshot" was just that. Man daring to go where no man had gone before- the moon. As a species we did not have the technology or the know how to step foot on the moon and yet through ingenuity and dedication two countries started a race to accomplish just that. </span>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0uaquGZKx_0 Moonshot Thinking]<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 20.15999984741211px;"> is exactly what it sounds like, taking a seemingly impossible task and setting out to accomplish it. Mark Twain had a great quote about accomplishing such feats, “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” Being a UI Fellow is a unique opportunity in that many of us have our own “Moonshots” and by surrounding ourselves with others that are just as passionate about their Moonshots we can set out to change the world.</span></span></span>

=== Monthly Meetup ===
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">The monthly meetup is a bluejeans meeting that is set-up for the 3rd Thursday of every month. The intent of this meeting is to allow UI-Fellows to disseminate information about projects they are working on, have completed or are considering. These meetings will typically have 3-4 presenters and are structured to be 5-10 minute presentations with time alloted for question and answers after each. </span></span>
