=== Strategy #1 “Innovation Week” ===
Challenge: ===== “How can we tear down the paradigm that innovation is only for engineers and business students.?”=====
This project seeks to involve every UAndes Student in the innovation world. It shall start by motivating students from the same career to form various groups to determine a neglected problem that is noticeable within their specific area, with the purpose to come up with an innovative way to make a change or improvement to it.
Knowing that the week starts on Monday, this same day the groups have to create a project from scratch that solves their specific career problem. During the week experts and professors from the Department of I&E will carry out several activities such as workshop simulations, brainstorming exercises, prototyping sessions, constructive seminars, and many more things.
=== Strategy #3 “Challenge course” ===
Challenge: ===== How might we promote entrepreneurship between students, looking forward to solving real problems on the campus and bringing innovation closer to undergraduates.? =====
This idea will be an extracurricular course target for all undergraduate students in Universidad de los Andes. Provided by a professor of I&E and with knowledge in design thinking, in order to impact with useful tools for the students' life and motivate them to create processes of problem-solving beginning with understanding unmet campus needs.
The challenge course is open to every student who wants to know more about I&E having the interest and willpower to improve campus life. The only condition, therefore, is motivation, compromise, and engagement with the course and their team fellows.
=== Strategy #4 “Student´s Council´s I&E in charge and Faculty Mentor” ===
Challenge: ===== “How might we promote I&E around students with the university's collaboration?”=====
This project consists of adding a person to each Faculty´s Student´s Councils who will be in charge of the I&E area. This person will locate all those students who want to innovate or have an idea in order to assess them and contact them with someone who would help them.
At the same time, there should be a person per Faculty who would based on his or her experiences in I&E, could act as a Mentor for those students who want to pursue an idea.
