== Fall 2021 Priorities ==
=== Strategy #1 “...“IPA talks (Impulsar, Profesionalizar, Aportar)” ======== Challenge: “How can we ...motivate to innovate, to motivate them to pursue these opportunities to create something new, so that they can take advantage of instances of participation?” ===== This project seeks to motivate and persuade every UAndes Student, since in order to commit, motivate and participate in I&E they need to be moved by this world. The mission of "IPA talks" is to spread those ideas that are worth spreading, similar to TED talks, however they will be focused in the Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) world. Every IPA talk will have a recognized figure related with I&E, who will share their experience (failures and success) and teaching different ways of how to implement our ideas and GET THEM DONE. Each one of these talks, will have a didactic activity (such as workshop simulations, brainstorming exercises, prototyping sessions, etc.), with the purpose to help students to apply their learning and to come up with an innovative way to make a change or improve it. This project shall last at least 2 days, which will be destined as a priority event at the university. During this time, students and other university participants will have a wide variety of talks arranged for them to participate. This will helps at the same time, for every participant to have a better notion of how I&E is being implemented in their country. We need this project in other to boost the creativity of our students so they could fulfill their projects an ideas, realizing that others have achieved it. Considering that in order to take a risk, it is necessary to have a sufficiently strong and deep motivation, which drives you to keep going despite failures. With that being learned, the enthusiasm to undertake and innovate will increase and students will be motivated enough to truly participate and commit with the opportunities of I&E that the university has to offer.
