= Strategy #2: Changing the ecosystem to a more innovation encouraging environment =
<div>In transitioning from school life to college life, students loose their vision of achieving something great, that is beyond classrooms. A subject focused life takes away their ability and interests of innovating, developing and creative thinking. </div><div><br/></div>
== '''Attendance issue with the students ''' ==
<div><br/></div><div>Apart from awareness problem we realized innovating young minds have to compromise a lot with their attendance in order to bloom their flower of idea, have to arrange for their resources (which is way too much than the actual time it should take), and mostly end up coming back to where they were initially, this time swearing not to think again in this direction, instead focussing in the academia in college (lack of failure accepting mindset at a very initial stage in innovation).</div><div><br/></div><div>So working in this direction, we thought of addressing the attendance problem of the students where-</div>
*would be allowed to work over their innovation during weekends in labs'''(Expected time of completion''': '''''By March end) '''''
<div>Addressing attendance issue helps the students by providing time in the college. This is a very basic step addressing the problem of the few students that have ideas that need to be prototyped or experimented. Apart from that innovation can be initiated in college by making students realize its importance.</div><div>== <br/></div>== == '''A Response from Students ''' ==
<div>
* Introduction of a '''<u>weekly response letter/form</u>''' to be filled by students as well as Faculty to rate the progress and introduce ideas on changing the classroom environment from current (completely marks focused) to an environment where the major focus is on “learning by doing” and actively participating into promoting ideas of every individual present in the class. '''(Expected to be completed by June)'''
</div>
== '''Workshops for Teachers'''<br/> ==
*'''Workshops for Teachers/all Faculty members''' as on how to connect with students, and rather that only demanding marks and then judging students solely based on academic performance. Equal weightage should be given to the creative mindset and the effort a student puts into brining the idea/entrepreneurship skill into action. '''(Expected to be completed by December)'''
== '''Innovation Enouragement Task (IET)'''<br/> ==
*A monitoring team consisting of an elected student and a professor in the mid 30’s to develop a monthly report on '''innovation encouragement task (IET)''' and hence providing their feedback to the respective subjects of this program, to fill the gaps. ''(professor in mid 30’s as He/She will be having enough experience in the field for such evaluation, and won’t lacking that spark to achieve something He/She was a student not soo long ago. ) '''''(Expected to be completed by December)'''
Inspirational Talks ==
*Playing inspirational videos every week without prior notice, so that students continue into processing their energy to an innovative and focused learning. Also organizing '''inspirational talks''' by successful startup leaders about their journey, and what all is waiting for the students in the world beyond campus boundaries. '''(Expected to be completed by April)'''
