== Strategy 1: connect and support on campus ==
There is a need on students to make real connections with other students, and for "real" I mean that the connection will have a I&E purpose.

We start doing this question to students: Have you ever had the necessity to find other sudents with the same goals than you? or perhaps you wanted to talk to someone about an specific knowledge they have? And this is what they say:
* "I will like to find here a partner for my next start up".* "It will be awesome if we can see each other profile".* "Here we can find anything, we can connect with students for a job application for example or even just to make them questions so we can learn more".
There is where we detected an opportunity, the "ahá moment".
The name of this space is "CONECTA UPC", and will allow students to make real connection on campus, or even virtually.
== Strategy 2: connect students with companies ==
We find that many students don't have opportunities to be an intern in companies because they don't have previous experiences. For that reason, the idea is about creating a platform where students can share their projects that usually have to work in many courses, with companies. The projects have to be focused on innovation and entrepreneurship issues because these areas are branches that allow a greater transformation and problem solutions.
When a project is selected by a company, the student will be part of the company, which it means that the student will be an intern and she or he will have the opportunity to learn, together with professionals, to develop and see the reality of the project he proposed.
We believe the '''academic future''' goes hand in hand with '''personalized education''' and '''unifying universities worldwide.''' The structure of schools and universities has always been standard. It is time to make a change in the academic curriculum. When we decide to study it is our choice (most of the time) and we should be the ones who decide which path we are going to take.
'''3.'''Promoting this idea with high school students (UPC already go to schools so now talk about this teaching model to make them want to be part of it)
== Strategy 4: Emprende Aprendiendo UPC ==
Emprende Aprendiendo is a boothcamp for entrepreneurs. It is an space created to help entrepreneur students to make their dreams come true. We bring them programs, coaching, courses, mentorship and the tools they might need to their first steps in the world of entrepreneurship. We found out that some of the core problems student have are:
Thats why we created this program, in order to help them build their own business ideas and test them on the market. We focus on digital businesses and thats why the main goal o this program is for them to know 3 main things: how to create successfull digital marketing strategies, sales funnels and digital ads campaigns. The idea is that they will leave the boothcamp with a project going on.
