This technology would especially help out the architecture and engineering schools. By having this new technology, students in the field will be able to enhance their prototyping and knowledge on their field material. Non-architecture and engineering students are welcomed to use the technology themselves as the technology is versatile in all majors. Because this technology is so new and exciting, we are hoping it will get students interested about I&E. We will need to: 1) find out if anyone on campus is doing research with VR (due 11-30-2016), 2) Determine cost of VR and how to fund it (due 12-30-2016), 3)-If there are grants, ask professionals to help us write it (due 1-30-2017), 4) Draft up grant writing (2-15-2017), 5) Review grant writing with professionals (3-1-2017), 6) Submit grant proposal (5-1-2017) == Venture Captial (Dorm Fund) == <span style="color:black">During an assignment where we had to talk with fellows from other universities about our landscape canvases, one of the UWM fellows came across a fellow who had a venture capital fund running out of his school, Rowan University. After talking with him about this fund, and finding out about a similar student-run fund out of Marquette University, we think that a student-run venture capital fund might possibly be valuable on campus. We think this because, mainly, students wouldn't have to go all the way through a program to be funded by the university. The money that the university has right now to support innovative ideas is only at the end of competitions, or the culmination of different programs. If someone happens to miss a deadline, they may just be out of luck for funding their idea until the next term comes around.</span> <span style="color:black">We could start the potential planning of a student run venture capital fund by, 1) interviewing students to see the need for business idea funding, 2) conduct interviews with the students at Marquette university, 3) Talk to the people at our school that already have money to distribute, and see if they have any feedback, 4) Look at the track record for how many students have gotten or needed funding in the past. 5) Create a plan for gaining donations for the venture fund, 6) Find out the structure and logistical information about holding money at a university.<o:p></o:p></span> == '''<span style="background-color:#ffffff">Strategic: Think Outside the Campus's Box</span>''' == <span style="background-color:#ffffff">Milwaukee is a great city with a wide range of resources.
