<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">When proposing a new idea, you are going to endure speedbumps and brick walls along the way, but proving your concept is everything. Emulating a design thinking session, is as simple as getting yourself in front of one class or even just one professor. All you need to do succeed is get the funding you need. The best solution is to be prepared with examples of how design thinking can be used universally on a campus. The end goal would be to get the funding you need for either a Supply Cart or a Maker Space.</span></span></span><br/><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-c36807b4-6716-763a-069c-6730a2787122"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">A Supply Cart can be brought from classroom to classroom to be used for rapid prototyping which is involved in the design thinking process. This cart can be filled with miscellaneous materials to help get creativity flowing. Below is a list of the materials that were in the cart that Tanner Wheadon created during his first sessions of design thinking.</span></span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tanner Wheadon is a University Innovation Fellow from the Spring 2015 cohort. Tanner is a student majoring in Technology Management at Utah Valley University. Fascinated by the Design Thinking process, Tanner teaches seminars on innovation to students and members of the community. Determined to change the convergent thinking trends of education, he worked with educators to create a makerspace on campus where students can generate new ideas through collaboration. Tanner began his work after being denied the request of a Maker Space. Not letting this brick wall stop his creativity, Tanner made a smaller request of a supply cart for rapid prototyping. After receiving his cart, he asked professors in a Tech 1010 class to give him time to come up with a curriculum. His two week program engaged the students with icebreakers and simple examples and began to open up their creative problem solving minds. After his successful two week program, Tanner’s new concept spread on campus and he was able to bring his program into many different classrooms, spreading the ideas of design thinking around his university. Recently Tanner was able to lead a 6-hour Design Thinking workshop in a meeting that included the president of his university, his cabinet, a few VP's, a few Deans, and faculty going through a leadership training program. In all, he had about 25 of his biggest stakeholders in one room. Although he was extremely nervous about the workshop, he was able to break down social barriers and embrace the process. The workshop went fantastic and was filled with energy, silliness, and openness the entire time.</span></span></span>
