Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in on campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div>== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions Competitions on Campus</span> ==<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur.

== Solution ==
The aim of this program is to make USJ involved in the community. It consists of forming groups of students from different majors in order to work on a real problem encountered in a certain region in Lebanon. This way students will be initiated to multidisciplinary work, they will invest their potential and will be efficient in their community while using the facilities offered by their university. This may initiate future projects that students may be inspired to do, after they graduate. This project will allow USJ to be better in the Spin-out section, because our university has a lot of wet labs and offers several facilities but are only used for academic purposes and for research.
#Recruitment of students from all campuses
#Collaborate with Service de l’Insertion Professionnelle: Give the enrolled students sessions about the skills they need to acquire to be working in this program:
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha;">
<li>Design thinking : 4 courses</li><li>Team workTeamwork: 2 courses</li>
</ol>
#Prototype
#Follow up from the professors
#Final The final presentation in front of the professors#Choose the best project and present it to the people concerned by about the problem in the region#Collaborate with USJ services (incubators, accelerators, funds, labs , etc) to find a procedure to execute the project
#All the students enrolled, not only those who came up with the project, will give feedback to the team working on this project to enhance the chances of optimizing the idea
#Invest in the project Or study the project more profoundly Or let it go

From here, we got the idea of Innovative Coffee Machine.6667px; white This project isn’t about a coffee machine that instead of coffee serves innovation, but instead of wasting their time students talking about random non-spacenecessary topics, the Coffee Machine will help them start a discussion without them knowing. == Concept == #Where is it? The Innovative Coffee Machine has not only one house but it’s going to have many houses on each campus. #When is it? The Innovative Coffee Machine will randomly be transported all over the campuses at a pace of 2 times a month for multiple campuses. #What is it? The Innovative Coffee Machine is a regular coffee machine that serves regular coffee for free. But what is special in this coffee machine is: *Prototype 1: Key Speaker – A person sharing giving a workshop about certain topics*Prototype 2: preA whiteboard is written on it a topic that uses great marketing technics to promote itself and let students discuss it and learn from each other’s experiences*Prototype (Idea – On -wrap;Paper) 3: The coffee machine talks to the students taking coffee using AI and suggest they talk about projects and topics that might be interesting and will help them develop their personal skills. = Project Video: = This is the link to the youtube video for our project.
