<br/><span style="font-size:larger;">'''&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Intro (short paragraph on why you needed this connection)'''</span>
<br/>Why get a teacher to teach in the innovation space?&nbsp; It gives them more flexibility, allows them to work on collaborative problem solving, and fosters a different learning environment.&nbsp;
Plus it promotes your design room/club.&nbsp; <span style="font-size:larger;">'''&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;'''</span> <span style="font-size:larger;"</span>
<span style="font-size:larger;">'''•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;People (who you wanted to connect with)'''</span>
'''•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Process (what steps you took and who you interacted with)'''
<span style="font-size:largerSeek out the professors listed above. &nbsp;The renegade, the person who is not scared to get into a little bureacratic battle. &nbsp;Talk to them, talk to the people from the registrar or whoever is in charge of room changes, etc. &nbsp;"</span>
<span style="font-size:largerThen, be ready to actually get in there and rearrange the room yourself. &nbsp;The point of the DEC (design room) was to enhance collaboration. &nbsp;Adam and his team would go in before a class and personally line up the room in a big circle to help facilitate that type of environment. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"> '''•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Timeline (how much time it took from idea to connection)'''</span>
<br/>&nbsp;One of the big challenges was creating the room on a $600 budget.&nbsp; After that, it really was “If you build it, they will come.”&nbsp; Didn’t take more than a month to start gaining traction.&nbsp;
&nbsp;Adam said that they never stopped pushing.&nbsp; From the start, they just needed to establish themselves as a group that was serious.&nbsp; After that they really didn’t have too many issues. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="font-size:larger;">'''&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;'''</span>
<span style="font-size:larger;"</span> <span style="font-size:larger;">'''•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Results (what happened as a result of your connection)'''</span>
After a few teachers taught their classes in the club, more people got involved in the design engineering collaborative.&nbsp; More people were interested in using the room and it was a good opportunity to show off the space.&nbsp;
<br/>Hopes to soon have an open calendar for the space to let people know what is going on there.&nbsp; Goal is for everything to take place in that space from student organizations to classes to design competitions.&nbsp; <span style="font-size:larger;">'''&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;'''</span>
<&lt;span style="font-size:larger;"</span>&gt;
<span style="font-size:larger;">'''•&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Lessons learned and tips for others (what worked and what didn’t, and your recommendations for others)'''</span>
