===Project 4:===One thing we learned while researching for our project. Students love hands on activities and want a way to increase their experience. Our third project proposal is to create a Co-Op experience between local businesses. At most universities there is a gap between the universities' community and the local community. A co-op program would be able to help bridge that gap and get more students involved with the local community. Students would shadow a local business learning how small businesses function and gain experience with entrepreneurship. Local businesses would also benefit by having subsidized help with their business.
===Project 1: Increasing Innovation among Students===

We noticed that OU students don't get many chances where they can showcase their problem-solving skills. To solve the problem, we came up with a solution to host an annual student-run hackathon at our university. An Hackathon will allow students to focus on a problem, identifying the true need and develop multiple solutions that can be implemented in a short time. They will also get time to work with students from other majors, learn from each other, and learn more info sessions held at the event.
===Project 2:Weekend of Innovation and Collaboration===Ohio University has lacked many opportunities to allow students to showcase their skills of innovation and entrepreneurship. One way to allow students to do this is to have an Innovation Weekend where students from across campus can allow their creativity to flow. There can be awards given by judges, and there can be opportunity for growth if there should be ideas such as businesses. Students from colleges across campus will have the chance to build skills and interact with one another on a level they do not typically get to.
