I'm considering this a seperate tactic as it involves going through different channels and asking for entirely different things from different people. The goal here is to network with as many higher-ups who support the movement as possible (many of whom have already been interviewed for the landscape canvas) and see what kind of extra equipment their department might be willing to lend. We're talking computers, arduinos, soldering irons, scrap metal, hot glue guns.... anything not 'required' to run the I-space but would still contribute to its usefulness. More importantly, anything not nailed down! People resources are going in this tactic as well. The I-space will require a semi-regular pool of mentors, be they faculty, community leaders, or just motivate volunteers. The purpose of this group will be to offer more everyday advice and counsel than bringing in a speaker or holding an event.</span>

We hope that, by working with the Tech Transfer Office and university higher-ups, a more transparent system can be developed... one that can be explained to students quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, the delivery system for getting the knowledge to students has to be structured in such a manner that it doesn't scare them off!&nbsp; Barring the ability to get the TTO more involved in proactively assisting with student IP, we at least hope to provide students with a seminar, guide, etc... on what exactly the relationship between them, their work, and the university actually is.</span><span style="line-height: 1.4; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4444446563721px;">Provide Financial With this tactic, we're going to work closely with the NDSU research park and Tech Transfer Office to establish as best we can a formal step-by-step process for entreprenuers looking to start a business and Legal Assistance /or license their own IP back from the university.

The purpose of the formal system is to allow rails for the students to follow along their journey- right now there is nothing in place to assist students in the early or middle stages of planning, for Iexample. Late stage business-founding can be handled by the Research Incubator... but how do you know to contact them? That's precisely what we're going to fix.&nbsp;</span>''At the very least,''<span style="line-height: 1.4; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4444446563721px;">&E Teamsnbsp;this tactic will produce a flow chart of steps, people, and processes that have been succesful in the past for starting businesses at NDSU.</span> <span style="line-height: 1.4; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4444446563721px;"></span>
