<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">With carefully established protocol, we can offer MakerSpace workshops where students are welcome to observe, learn, and interact with the space with a knowledgeable guide. They can recieve beginner tutorials on the proper use of equipment, as well as a variety of other intellectual resources that will enhance their ability to be more innovative. These workshops can be once a month and cater to a certain theme, in which will open up another opportunity for us to bring in experienced innovators/creators from the local community.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span>'''Tactic 4: Increase awareness'''<span style="font-size: medium;">While there are a few different options for innovation on campus, most students are not aware of the opportunities especially in the engineering school as most opportunities are provided my the business school. However, slowly both schools are becoming more innovative and interactive with each other. These opportunities are slowly becoming more available to all students as engineers and business majors alike are joining them and spreading the word of these programs</span>
== Project Two: Pursue<br/> ==
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Starting an investment fund led by students will give students to identify and student startups within the community. Having an investment fund run by and for students will provide capital for student-led startups and allow access to the mentoring of local entrepreneurs. This will also expose students to the Portland startup community. Raising capital while you’re still attending school is very difficult, and has the potential to deter students from pursuing their ventures. Therefore, a student-led investment fund has the potential to be a valuable program at the University of Portland</span></span>
