<li>ReinventED Lab<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Description: ReinventED Lab aims to build a community of creative problem-solving in education. We do this by hosting signature programs (24 Hour Challenge and Startup Weekend EDU: Problem-solvathon Edition), developing a customizable creative problem-solving process (drawing on design thinking, lean startup tactics, and 4.0 Schools methodologies), and growing impact-driven education innovation projects. Recognizing the net potential of education innovation at UVA, in Albemarle County, and in the Charlottesville community, ReinventED Lab aims to convene stakeholders for productive ideation and collaboration. To this end, ReinventED Lab leverages student voices, design thinking, and community building best practices, with the objective of establishing the Charlottesville area’s pre-eminence as a leader in the national movement towards locally-grown, early-stage education innovation.</li>

<li>Goals:<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Attract a significant number of attendees to ReinventED events</li>

<li>Bring multiple stakeholder groups into conversation with one another</li>

<li>Support the growth of education innovation projects</li>

<li>Create crowd-funding source for student ventures<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Description: I will partner with Venture Fund at UVa to create a crowd-funding source that provides base-level funding to student ventures that are not ready to reach out to investors/compete for money. This will create more student ventures, thereby tackling a large problem facing the I&E community on Grounds which is that students don’t apply to UVa because of innovation. By having increased amounts of student ventures, the reasons people apply to UVa will hopefully be more and more about innovation. Additionally, student ventures are another vehicle by which experiential learning can be spread on Grounds, an educational style that many professors face institutional challenges in implementing. The crowd-funding will be piloted alongside a design course on Grounds that has semester-long projects, many of which can be translated easily (relatively speaking) into ventures.</li>

<li>Goals:<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Encourage creation of more student ventures</li>

<li>Provide base-level funding for student ventures that are not ready to reach out to investors/compete for money</li>

<li>Draft necessary resources, proposals - Late October</li>

<li>Secure course for pilot  - Early November</li>

<li>Finalize Initiatives with Venture Fund - Late November</li>
