Key Tactics for University Innovation Fellowship at Trinity College


Project 1: Advocampus

The Advocampus project focuses on developing a user-friendly website to advocate for campus issues and initiatives. The core tactics for this project include:

  • Prototype Design: Develop a detailed prototype of the website, incorporating key features that will serve the intended audience.
  • Stakeholder Feedback: Engage with stakeholders by allowing them to navigate the prototype and provide essential feedback for improvement.
  • Primary and Secondary Research: Conduct thorough research to inform the website’s development, using both direct (surveys, interviews) and indirect (case studies, reports) methods.
  • Iterative Feedback and Improvement: Regularly collect feedback from users and stakeholders to continuously refine and improve the website before launch.


Project 2: Innovation Hub on Campus

The Innovation Hub project aims to create a versatile and modern space for students to collaborate and innovate. The following steps guide this initiative:

  • Space Design: Create an initial design for how the innovation hub will look, ensuring it meets the needs of student innovators and campus community members.
  • Budget Development: Develop a comprehensive budget for the project, detailing costs for renovation, furniture, equipment, and technology.
  • Research on Similar Spaces: Conduct primary and secondary research on similar innovation hubs (e.g., MIT's d.school) to gather insights and best practices. This may involve virtual tours or in-person visits for inspiration.
  • 3D Simulation Model: Model a 3D simulation of the innovation hub, which will be displayed to stakeholders at meetings to visualize the final outcome.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Connect with key campus leaders and external experts to outline action points, secure buy-in, and ensure project alignment with campus goals.
