This project is about an Instagram account that inspires young students from Universidad de Los Andes to participate in Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Leadership and team work activities.

In this account we would like to inspire, motivate, teach and support students so that they can achieve their goals and change their mindset.

Careers in Chile are very long, we have to study from 5 to 6 years average to have a professional tittle. That's why not many students are willing to take extra courses about different subjects such as I&E and use their time to advance in their curriculum and get their professional tittle.

If want people to learn and get involved in I&Ewe have to find a way that is more compatible with their rhythm and life in university as with their goals for their future lifestyle and work.

Innovation Day consists of an event where we will bring together different careers in order to teach a little and open their minds to the world of entrepreneurship. It consists of a series of different activities, either teamwork or creativity, in addition to having 2 talks from entrepreneurs, who tell us about their experience and who can ask you any questions they want.

The Instagram account is created with the purpose of providing support and advice about entrepreneurship, helping all students who want to start a business and do not know how, with this account they will be able to ask their questions, in addition to seeing capsules with tips and innovative ideas.

This semester-long course is designed to inspire and empower college students to become successful entrepreneurs. Through a combination of theory, case studies and practical projects, participants will acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to develop, launch and manage their own entrepreneurial projects.

This strategy is based on the things our classmates are willing to learn more about entrepreneurship and giving them the confidence to start a business themselves.

The game that consist in dividing the participants into groups, and they go through the different stages of a business which are marketing, finance, provider, and clients. The point of this is that after passing all the stages, the students can have a viable entrepreneurship.

​​This project consists of developing the necessary tools so that administration students know how to handle the challenges of having a business. The idea is to incorporate the course of the curriculum in the first years of the degree so that the student has a small base and can thus develop an enterprise if he wishes. The course will include customer management, accounting, finance, and marketing. I would have everything that implies having a business and its difficulties.

The goal of applying this course for all first-year students is that they live the experience and know how to defend themselves against the adversity of the world, and if they want to dedicate themselves to entrepreneurship, they can do so without any problem.

The goal of this project is to teach design thinking as a tool to seek needs and generate ideas. This workshop is for students of Universidad de los Andes who want to create an idea for a startup.

Finally, to give it continuity, a room on the campus will be awarded by the ADS school (Service Management) and become an Innovation Lab. This lab will have all the materials (like post-its and sharpies) for the students to create and an infographic with information about how to do a design thinking and how to make the idea come true.

=====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?”=====

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.

=====Challenge: “How can we motivate students to solve big and small problems within the university, through innovative practices??”=====

The most important and necessary thing to participate is to be motivated, want to improve some problem, and eager to learn.

=====Challenge: “How can we involve students from Service Management with Innovation and Entrepreneurship?”=====

Furthermore, this project intends to make a memorable day that would help motivate ADS students to go farther and become change agents, using innovation to design new solutions for the campus, community, and the world.  Also, this would facilitate undergraduates from different generations of ADS to gather and build new bonds between them, because now more than ever, students need to share with others after this prolonged pandemic, and this Innavotion day would be perfect for that. 

=====Challenge: ¿How can we motivate students of Service Management to become agents of social change??”=====

The objective is to offer a social project that is only offered by Service Administration and therefore, it must have the ADS seal.

=====Challenge: “How can we tear down the paradigm that innovation is only for engineers and business students?”=====

This project seeks to involve every UAndes Student in the innovation world. It shall start by motivating students from the same career to form various groups to determine a neglected problem that is noticeable within their specific area, with the purpose to come up with an innovative way to make a change or improvement to it. Knowing that the week starts on Monday, this same day the groups have to create a project from scratch that solves their specific career problem. During the week experts and professors from the Department of I&E will carry out several activities such as workshop simulations, brainstorming exercises, prototyping sessions, constructive seminars, and many more things. What this does is that every student receives the necessary tools to improve and make adjustments to their initial project. This helps them at the same time to notice the importance of innovation and its understanding. At the end of the week, the project that impresses the board with originality and most importantly the one who satisfies in the best way possible the specific need of the school will be considered in the next year's budget so they can implement their solution or improvement in approximately a year. Along their journey, they will constantly have feedback and support from experts, their professors, their faculty, and Universidad de los Andes.

====Challenge: "How might we create a support network among UANDES students, to promote the creation of I&E projects?"====

Fellows who participate in this program will not only develop projects and I&E tools. But they will also create close bonds, have the opportunity to meet other university students, and work for hand in hand with them and maybe... Change the world.

=====Challenge: How might we promote entrepreneurship between students, looking forward to solving real problems on the campus and bringing innovation closer to undergraduates?=====

This course will be an instance for recreation, ideation, and learning, to become engaged students with their campus and empathizing with their university fellows.

=====Challenge: “How might we promote I&E around students with the university's collaboration?”=====
