The end-goal of this project is to provide students of any major access to the technology and know-how needed to bring an idea to life. This would include machine equipment training, prototyping classes, and design thinking workshops. The ultimate goal is a student run Innovation and Design Center to serve the Temple community.</span></span>

The courses they take will be entirely voluntary, and will not affect their GPA or official transcript.</span></span>

They can be about any topic of the professor’s choosing and are not required for degree programs. The first pop-up class will be held by Dr. Brookstein of the Engineering College the Spring 2016 semester. It is entitled “Improv in Engineering.”</span></span><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

For instance, students want a place where they can connect with other students to find people with skills they need, advice, or opinions on projects they have in mind.</span></span>

This will be done by demonstrating how similar students at Temple succeeded in their endeavours.</span></span>
