<span style="font-size:mediumsmall;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The tips on this Wiki were inspired by Tanner Wheadon, a University Innovation Fellow from the Spring 2015 cohort.He hosted a Design Thinking Workshop at his university, Utah Valley University, where he is studying Technology Management.Tanner also teaches small innovation workshops at UVU, sometimes even during general-ed classes. Tanner’s Design Thinking Workshop that he hosted for his university’s leadership was focused on simple cart that he had purchased through the university for about $400-$500. He filled this cart with “rapid prototyping supplies”. With this cart, Tanner essentially had a classroom with wheels! This is how he would go around to different classrooms to have innovation/design thinking workshops.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:mediumsmall;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">As explained in the above information, Tanner started by doing basic Design Thinking activities, and later, having the participants apply this mindset to their everyday environment. By doing this, Tanner was getting the participants to be more open-minded before trying to solve real problems. After hosting the Design thinking Workshop, and presenting his cart to faculty and staff, Tanner had great response. Tanner’s (originally) 5-7 year plan for his make space soon turned into a 3-year plan by the university, and in the meantime, Tanner was even offered spaces around campus to host workshops by the faculty members who participated in his workshop.</span></span><span style="font-size:mediumsmall;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Much of Tanner’s success came from not taking “no” for an answer, and finding an innovative way to work around barriers. Because of his persistence and passion for Design Thinking, Tanner made a lot of headway into his plan. Instead of sitting around and waiting, Tanner hosted his Design Thinking Workshop for university leadership, which in turn, helped to make progress on getting a makerspace for him to host more workshops.If you are ever struggling with your university leadership not understanding the importance of Design Thinking and Innovation on your campus, we hope you will refer to the above tips, so you can become another success story! Tanner is living proof that hosting Design Thinking Workshop can be wildly successful and make a huge impact on campus.</span></span></div>
