no edit summary
Traditional relationships in academia between administration, faculty and students are hierarchical. As Feld says, if the hierarchy tries to drive the startup culture, it essentially stifles it. Fellows around the world are creating a network, at the grassroots, which is essential to leading a culture shift that is inclusive and encourages creativity, risk-taking and fearlessness. Be mindful of the current culture.

Consider the ways a culture shift can begin to happen at your school.<br><br>

Different constituents at your institution might be motivated by different triggers. Take the Maker Movementin the United States, for example, which was in the spotlight a few years ago with the first-ever U.S. White House Maker Faire, when one . 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 your school, 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>

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 institution's context. Your mentors will be thinking partners to help uncover resources in your local community, regional strengths and potential partnerships.<br><br>{{Fmbox|image=none| style = border:5px solid dimgrey; background-color:lightgrey;|text=

:*'''Facilitating university-industry collaboration:''' The "Spin Out" section of your Landscape Canvas relates to research centers, industrial parks and industry/mentor networks and will give you a sense of whether the University is "Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration."<br>
:*'''Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts:''' The "Spin Out" section of your Landscape Canvas also reveals the extent to which the University is engaging with regional and local economic development efforts. Many institutions also have an economic development office and staff whose responsibility it is to leverage the University's research and development for positive local economic benefit.<br><br>{{Fmbox|image=none| style = border:5px solid dimgrey; background-color:lightgrey;|text=<br>
*Submit a link to your completed / updated campus overview Wiki-page by September 2019. Each institution has an overview wiki page already created. Use the area at the bottom of the Session 3 in the Team Mural to jot down your thoughts.

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.''}}
