Students are welcome even if they do not have a project of their own, and can collaborate with/help other students on their projects. The idea is to learn new skills from each other by working collaboratively on new ideas in a space where you can find like-minded people as well as people who may have completely different skill sets from you who you can learn from. Skill Exchange Sunday allows students to acquire new skills as well as learn to be more comfortable working collaboratively with strangers. There is an apparent need to encourage students to pursue team projects outside of group assignments on their own based on this personal interests and passions. Such support would also encourage innovation and entrepreneurship on campus, as students would be more inclined towards exploring ideas and applying a variety of skills to their creative pursuits.</span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(67, 67, 67);"></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Program Pitch: Inno-fest is a celebration of innovations and small entrepreneurship on campus and a space for skill-exchange that is not yet valued by the current academic curriculum but might be beneficial beyond a college setting. By creating a time and space where students and local town folks can come together to share their unique talents and the things that they are passionate about, not only do students immediately benefit from learning practical skills from each other, but also fosters a community that inspires innovation and entrepreneurship through recognizing that they can exist both within and outside of a standard classroom setting. There is an apparent need for students on campus to continue to learn from and collaborate with each other beyond the classroom setting, thus, in addition to Inno-fest and the current active online "Free and For Sale" page, an all-year-round bulletin board can add a human aspect and provide a continuous space for skill sharing and peer inspiration.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Program Pitch: The Smith Business Model Canvas Competition is an annual competition designed to take an entire day of researching and building a Business Model Canvas. Given a problem/prompt, participants organized in teams of 4 will research their prompt, identify a solution and think of business idea that could solve the problem they are given. Then they will sketch out their business idea and create a Business Model Canvas for their potential business. At the Poster Session, they will get feedback on the canvas from entrepreneurs. The event will be finalized by workshop/presentation from Smith’s innovation/entrepreneurship center on building a Business Model Canvas. Our intent is to create an opportunity for students to learn how to make business model canvas for their personal businesses. Business model canvases are an essential part of the business world especially for small startups that are trying to attract investors. Teaching students this essential component of the building a business makes them competitive in the business world. </span>
