|title=Your Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
|content=<br>[[File:OalogoSession3-banner.jpg|500px750px]]<br><br>
Consider three things as you map your innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) landscape:<br><br>
'''1. Look at the entire campus, regardless of departmental boundaries'''<br><br>
Different constituents on campus might be motivated by different triggers. Take the Maker Movement, for example, which was in the spotlight a few years ago with the first-ever White House Maker Faire, when one hundred and fifty university leaders signed letters to then-President Obama, committing to expand opportunities for making. The maker movement and its collection of DIY individuals represent a population who might develop innovative and new creations and seek marketplaces for their products.<br><br>
In a different segment of campus, there may be pockets of activity amongst architects inspired by green building innovations or the Tiny House Movement. Amongst biologists, you may find those studying the field of biomimicry to create novel innovations inspired by nature. Still, in another part of campus, you may have students designing solutions for those living in poverty. Maybe such courses or programs are offering hands-on, project-based experience. Maybe they're offering real-world experience with an external organization.<br><br>
Your job is to uncover every resource, across every department or off-campus, that:<br><br>
# is already incorporating innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity OR
# has great potential to be served by innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship offerings because they are so hands-on and real-world focused.<br><br><div style="margin-left: 30px;">Taking this broad view will reveal assets in your immediate ecosystem as well as define new populations that could become part of your ecosystem with a little cultivation.</div>

|title=Deliverable 1: Landscape Canvas
|content=<Br>Watch the video to learn how to complete the Landscape Canvas:<br><br> {{#widget:Youtube|id=jgu7ueU_sNk|width=75%}}<br><br>This week you are required to present the Landscape Canvas to your uiguide. Share new insights you gained about the ecosystem, gaps you perceive and strengths you can build upon. Your uiguides will ask you for your initial hypothesis about how you believe those gaps can be addressed. These could be in the form of new learning opportunities - curricular or extracurricular. They can also be in the form of a campaign. You can search through [[:Category:Guides|"How to" guides]] for inspiration from other Fellows. In some instances, you are going to have to think really creativity about *new* solutions custom designed for your campus context. Your mentors will be thinking partners to help uncover resources in your local community, regional strengths and potential partnerships.<br><br><div style="margin-left: 30px;">{{Fmbox|image=none| style = border:5px solid #008b8b; background-color:#f1fcf8;|text={{Fmbox|image=none|text=''{{note2}} You can use this [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yokYaqDFzlGKMDB9WdiaAbO7moahyHcy9EseJM9HJJY/copy Landscape Canvas Google Slide presentation deck] as an optional resource when it comes time to present your research to faculty and administration during your Stakeholder Meeting.''}}

*'''Where is my landscape canvas?'''<br>Each campus has their very own Landscape Canvas template within their campus folder in [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BrL69LY4a-Pe1Cu4bQ6uaKcDbEH1n2JZ this Google Drive]. DO NOT DOWNLOAD TO EXCEL, but rather keep it as a Google Sheet. Submit the completed sheet by September 26.

|title=Deliverable 2: Campus Overview Wiki Page
|content=<br>
The Campus Overview page is a page about your school on the Wiki comprised of five paragraphs that describe your campus ecosystem. You are required to create or update the page in a specific format, using [[The Innovative and Entrepreneurial University|five parameters we benchmarked]] from a [https://www.eda.gov/pdf/The_Innovative_and_Entrepreneurial_University_Report.pdf U.S. Department of Commerce Report] in 2013. The launch of the wiki coincided with the release of this report, [http://universityinnovationfellows.org/white-house-features-university-innovation-fellows/ with support and recognition from the Obama White House].<br><br>
The five parameters are:<br><br>
:*'''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship:''' The research you conducted for your Landscape Canvas corresponds to the five parameters. Your research will be most robust in this section (Discover, Learn and Experiment), related to "Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship."<br>
:*'''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship:''' While it doesn't seem as though it directly impacts you, the extent to which faculty are encouraged to innovate and pursue entrepreneurial pathways really does help determine the extent to which they will encourage students to explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potential. Encouragement at the faculty level is one of the things that differentiates more developed I&E ecosystems. Under the "Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship" category, please provide a succinct view of whether faculty are supported to be entrepreneurial or commercialize their research.<br>

*Visit the [[2020:Training/Submitting Assignments|Submitting Assignments]] page for more on how to submit your assignment.<br><br>{{Fmbox|image=none|text=''{{note2}} If your school already has a completed campus overview wiki page, please take this opportunity to update it. Add anything new that you learned, anything that has changed on campus, and fix any grammar and spelling errors. Do not remove previously-trained Fellows' names, as it is important to show continuity of effort.''}}{{Fmbox|image=none|text=''{{note2}} For schools with two cohorts going through training, you'll need to work together on your campus overview page, as you will both be working on the same wiki page. We'll leave it up to your teams to figure out the best way to collaborate.''}}
