~~Overview:~~png]]

Temple University is a large urban research university within Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Temple offers more than 400 degree programs at 17 schools and colleges and five professional schools. Philadelphia is an excellent environment for entrepreneurs, and there already exists a large number of resources for those interested in entrepreneurship and innovation on Temple’s main campus. Unfortunately, the majority of these resources are concentrated within the FOX School of Business’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute (IEI). Students from all over the University can take advantage of what Temple’s IEI has to offer; however, a sense of unawareness and apathy exists in the schools outside of FOX. As University Innovation Fellows, it is our goal to change this. The following strategies will enable a university wide culture of innovation to begin to take hold at Temple and the greater Philadelphia area.

2016 Spring

Right now, Temple’s first cohort of University Innovation Fellows, Richard Hoff, Alex Burchman, and Sean Martin will be coordinating efforts on each of these projects. They will need the help and cooperation of people throughout Temple’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.2015 Fall

When looking at the grand scheme of Temple I&E ecosystem and scoring its stage of development on a scale of 1 - 10, 1 = beginning stage development / 5 = mid stage development / 10 = late stage or fully developed system, we score Temple with a 7 out of 10.   The score of 7 is due a number of reasons including: {| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" style="width: 750px"|-| Advantages*Academic Curriculum that is supportive of I&E Ecosystem*Interactive collaborative spaces for I&E*Adminstrative staff and instructors with passion for teaching I&E principle outside of classroom*Student Organizations focused on promoting I&E within individual colleges*Sustatinable support in Discover, Learn, Experiment and Pursue stages of I&E development*Support for funding and pursuit of funding both within college and in surrounding community*Established relationships throughout the city of Philadelphia (Owls are Everywhere!) | Disadvantages*Lack of resources which support the Spin-out stage of I&E development*Students don't current utilize the existing I&E resourses*Disconnection between organizations, administration and individuals within Temple University's I&E Ecosystem |} Our projects aim to pinpoint the underlying reasons behind the needs and gaps in the ecosystem and remedy the issues at their core. == '''Project #1: Get the Freshman Involved - Change the Culture from the Start![[File:Temple ~~needs~~ ADMISSIONS banner.jpg|thumb]]''' == Our goal is to change the culture of the how our students approach I&E opportunities. Over the course of the next four years, we will grow a sustainable I&E ecosystem through each new incoming class. We are developing a ~~central place where any student can go to bring~~ system which targets freshman and transfer students during their ~~innovative ideas to life~~first week on Temple’s campus. The ~~end-~~goal is to show the freshman their latent potential for I&E during their very first week of ~~this project~~ school. Our plan is to ~~provide~~ hold a design thinking introduction event freshman students and transfers. Implementing this program in the beginning of ~~any major access~~ a student’s collegiate career will impact significantly on the student's’ future schedules, thinking and various routines. We intend to introduce students to the ~~technology~~ design thinking process and ~~know~~the existing I&E ecosystem while their concepts of possible opportunities are still at their highest.   '''Introduction to ~~bring an idea~~ Design Thinking Workshop''' Milestone 1: Invite students to ~~life.

== '''Project #2: Encourage Student to Utilize Existing Resources''' ==

One of the needs that we have identified on our campus is the need to encourage students to utilize the existing I&E resources that we have here on campus. Reasons for not utilizing the resources include not knowing the resource existed, the resources not being in a centralized location, fear of failing in public view or disproval of ideas from peers, lack of time to pursue interests due to school workload, andmany students don’t feel like they have the necessary skills is use the equipment in the collaboration spaces.  For example, while many students are thrilled to hear that we have 3-D printing capabilities many admitted that they didn’t know how to approach the concept.

By holding several pop-up classes and small competitions we hope to teach some of the skills needed to use the equipment independently while cultivating a desire to explore and experiment. This will also be an excellent time to highlight the location and availability of all the resources that we have.  These classes will be open to all temple students.

== Project #4: Spotlight Temple Success Stories ==

The best way to get students involved in innovation and entrepreneurship at Temple will be to make them understand that they are actually capable of pursuing an entrepreneurial dream. This will be done by demonstrating how similar students at Temple succeeded in their endeavours.

*MILESTONE 3: A cross-disciplinary design competition will be held at Temple for student teams. As of now, the concept is for various Temple faculty to devise a problem and task student teams of three-four to use their design thinking, prototyping, and innovation skills to address the problem. This will hopefully become an annual event starting in Spring 2017.</li>

*TACTIC: The unique part of the competition will be that teams will be restricted to one member from a specific school or college. For instance, an acceptable team would be one engineering, one art student, and one business student.</li>
