<span style="font-size:small;">'''Project Lead: Kelsey Hanna'''</span>
<span style="font-size:small;">As WSU promotes the current additions to the university as the "Innovation Campus," students deserve to be involved in innovation culture from the moment they step on campus. During the mandatory orientation, students would participate in Wu-Shocks Innovation Nation Design Experience. Students from every college are grouped together and tasked with helping Wu travel across campus, using all of the resources at their disposal along the way. After completion of the challenge, students would tour the campus and have the chance to use the resources first hand, tying their experience to the physical location of the resource.</span>

=== <span style="font-size:small;">'''Tactic #1: Wichita Maker Faire'''</span> ===
<span style="font-size:small;">Maker Faires are popular across the country, allowing individuals of all ages to come together to share I&E ideas with like-minded individuals. To our knowledge, an event like this has never been done in Wichita or the surrounding areas. Hosting this event on campus would bring students and community members together in a unique space to share and collaborate on ideas.

<span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">Many of the engineering degrees at WSU require a senior design or capstone course that allows students to create an innovative product or process to meet needs within their field of study. However, outside of these courses, students in other disciplines do not have the same opportunity. By implementing an innovation-centered curriculum, students across campus would be encouraged/required to participate in an Innovation Project. Multidisciplinary teams would work with mentors (faculty and industry professionals) on developing an innovative idea that would be presented at the Shocker New Venture Competition, or other similar events on campus. Outside of this, the teams would be judged/graded by their mentors and would receive course credit for the work. </span</span></span>

I&E opportunities that encourage collaboration between community members and WSU students, such as GoCreate, have flourished due to the cross-community incubator it has become. However, these spaces are few and far between. ICT Innovation Monday would open doors of local entrepreneurs and major corporations alike for students to learn about innovation and share their own ideas. Out of these collaborations, students would be exposed to new ideas and processes, be able to meet potential mentors and employers, and find like-minded individuals to pursue their ideas with. </span></span>

As potential new shockers visit WSU they have the opportunity to experience campus and the future that may lie ahead for them. [IN]nnovation is an initiative focused on potential new students and giving them a taste of what WSU is really about. During their campus visit, students will receive a 1in by 1in plastic square. On that square, they are asked to write their biggest hope for college on one side, and their biggest fear on the other. After their visit, the “token” is collected and stored until the beginning of the semester. Students who are admitted and enrolled at WSU will have their “token” given to a student artist who will be charged with the responsibility of creating a work of art showcasing the hopes of all of the tokens combined. The fears will be to the inside of the work, with the idea in mind that as one part of a greater whole, the students can overcome any adversity and accomplish their biggest hopes and dreams.</span></span></span>
