== Tactic #1: Create a Student Creativity/Ideation/Maker Space ==
'''Description:''' Once students have built skills and interest in innovation and entrepreneurship, it is necessary to facilitate the growth of their ideas, and assist them in establishing product-market fit. A creativity, ideation, and maker space provides students with a location to work with one another to identify, develop, and prototype innovative solutions to real-world problems. This is an important prerequisite before the formation and execution of a formal commercial or not-for-profit venture. At this point, the following requirements have been identified for the space: *Student accessible 24/7*In a central, highly visible location on campus*Infrastructure in place for facilitating creative problem solving and group conversation**Whiteboards and/or Flipcharts**Multimedia equipment (sound, projector/TV, etc.)**Adaptable furniture (rearrangeable seating and tables)*Infrastructure in place for basic prototyping**3D printer**3D scanner*Presence of an "idea wall" for engaging public in creativity and innovation*TV screen with calendar of upcoming I&E events
Team Lead:
