== <span style="font-size:larger;">Priority #1 Expose I&E by hosting a "Desginathon"</span> ==
<div><span style="font-size:larger;">'''• What we have discovered is that most students on campus have no clue what I&E is. '''</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;">'''• Stage 1: Outline the structure of the “Designathon”'''</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Create an outline as to what time slots will be dedicated to certain tasks (ie, designing, customer discovery, prototyping, working on the presentation, pitching) </span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Ask innovators and entrepreneurs on campus what they think should be the structure/guidelines</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o See or think about how structured or unstructured the designathon should be. Should we give them a problem to fix or should we allow the participants to do whatever it is they want to. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Test the outline in a small group consisted of the UIF members as well as our UIF guides. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;">'''• Stage 2: Organize a designathon for The Foundry or Entrepreneurship Club at RPI'''</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Test out the designathon in a smaller scale for individuals who we know are interested in I&E</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Get feedback from everyone involved in the program and see what steps are necessary to improve it. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Plan and become finalized with the concept</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;">'''• Stage 3: SPREAD THE WORD!!!!'''</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Put up posters all around campus </span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Talk to professors and deans to spread the word</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Go to the hackathon and hand out flyers </span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Send emails to individuals involved in other similar clubs</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;">'''• Stage 4: Run the program & take notes'''</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Host the program again, but on a larger scale (hopefully)</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Conduct a survey after the event to see what can be improved upon</span></div><div><span style="font-size:larger;"> o Improve the event for the future and keep on prototyping!</span></div><div><br/></div>
== Priority #2 - Idea Space ==
Concept: the creation of a space where people can share their ideas about I&E
<div>Step 1: Find a location</div><div>~On campus location that all students can access </div><div>~Relatively centralized and well known</div><div>~Supplied by the university </div><div><br/></div><div>Step 2: Resources</div><div>~Plenty of small-scale building supplies so people can get their ideas out</div><div>~Legos, clay, blocks, etc.</div><div><br/></div><div>Step 3: Getting the word out </div><div>~Flyers and word of mouth </div><div>~It is important a critical mass is reached so that one can share there ideas with others and have a discussion about them</div><div><br/></div><div><div>Something similar has been attempted before, so it is important that everything attempted before is taken into account, including successes and failures so that hopefully this time it is more successful</div><div><br/></div></div>
