<h1> = Project 3: TAMUHack integration </h1>= <p>Currently, one of the largest Innovation and Entrepreneurship events at our school is TAMUHack. TAMUHack is a 24h event in which students from multiple schools come to build a hack, pitch their idea, and win prizes.</p><p>At the moment, the event is completely student-organized and the university does not provide a significant amount of sponsorship or coverage to it. The funds for the event are raised through industry sponsors.</p><p>I believe the event could be expanded to include more people, and there could be additional ways to integrate more engineers, rather than computer scientists.&#160nbsp;</p><h2> == Milestone #1: </h2>== <p>To begin the process of change:</p><p>1) Contact the TAMUHack board to let them know my intentions.</p><p>2) Join the board and aid with organization and sponsor/fund acquisition.&#160nbsp;</p><h2> == Milestone #2: </h2>== <p>After I've joined, we need to take the following steps/goals:</p><p>1) Improve fund acquisition to increase attendance;&#160nbsp;</p><p>2) Have better media coverage of the event, and more publicity/advertising.</p><p>3) Arrange a meeting between the I &amp; E steering council of A&amp;M with the TAMUHack board.</p><h2> == Milestone #3: </h2>== <p>After we've arranged / integrated TAMUHack with our I&amp;E expansion, we can then begin the process</p><p>of arranging / implementing all the goals.</p>= Project 4: U-Ignite Video Competition = UIF Involved: Jean-Claude Faa The U-Ignite Video Competition is a one-minute idea pitch competition established in Fall 2014.
