Changes

At the start of development (February 2016), the mobile creator lab concepts are conceptualized and elaborated with under the guidance of the University Innovation Fellows spring 2016 cohort, the University of Pittsburgh Innovation Institute, and student leaders and liaisons of multiple clubs and organizations that serve as great potential for change-making hosts of the mobile creator labs. Aakash Sudhakar (current University Innovation Candidate) serves as the main student leader of developing and integrating mobile creator labs within the Pitt community. 

As a mirror to the objectives of Intiative #2: Expand Mobile Creative Labs For Easier Assibility and Diversity, it is important for students across campus who have versatility and experience in design thinking and the creative processes, especially within the scopes and frameworks of different majors, to have a community where they can come together with other like-minded students and students with minimal experience in design thinking and creative confidence to collaborate and refine thinking and problem-solving models. Much of what the University Innovation Fellows program does is a generalized framework for which to apply into specific problems and scenarios, but much of the success of those potential applications is very difficult to know as the student problems across campus can be difficult to identify, track and codify within the design thinking and creative confidence frameworks.
