'''[5] Implementation:''' Raise money & build physical space for TUHH Ideenschmiede
== Project #1 - TUHH Ideenschmiede ==
[[File:Prototype Ideenschmiede.jpg|thumb]]
When students at the TUHH have a startup idea, already gathered a team around them and know in which direction the startup should develop, there are institutions in place, which they can turn to for help (Startup Dock, TuTech, Institute of Entrepreneurship, etc.). However, there is currently no infrastructure at the TUHH for students to pitch their ideas, get feedback , brainstorm or get in contact with people who are looking for team members on their startup team. Thus, a creative space for students to connect, exchange and discuss innovative ideas is currently missing. In order to overcome this problem, we want to develop a physical space for students (in long-term ) to connect. '''TUHH Ideenschmiede''' will be a virtual and physical space for students to come together to discuss ideas, brainstorm or host I&E events to inspire others. This space should be available to all TUHH students to visit and should be organised by students (in cooperation with a professor). An example for such a space is of course the [https://www.utwente.nl/en/designlab/contact/ DesignLab at the University of Twente]. The TUHH Ideenschmiede will make the topic of Innovation and Entrepreneurship accessible to all TUHH students and thus, will expand the students' horizon.
However, since building a space requires a lot of resources, we want to start with the following steps to get students to exchange on topics of I&E:
=== Strategic priorities<br/> ===
'''[1] Demand inquiry:''' Develop, send out & evaluate a questionnaire for students to identify their specific needs for such a virtual & physical exchange space
'''[2] Development & test:''' Develop a regular ZOOM format to exchange ideas & test
'''[3] Regular operation:''' Offer regular ZOOM meetings; plan & gather things required for a "ambulant" creativity space
'''[4] Prototype & Test:''' Start offering a "ambulant" Creativity Space on campus''', e.g. Ideenschmiede Lunch Dates etc.
'''[5] Implementation:''' Raise money & build physical space for TUHH Ideenschmiede (this is a long-term goal)
Our main goal with this space in long-term is to become a creative meeting point at the TUHH for students to get in contact with the topic of I&E, especially for bachelor students. The objective with the current list of strategic priorities is to first test the idea, get an overview of the students wishes and needs and have an evidence to show the investors that such a place is required at TUHH.
