Choosing a centrally located or well-known location to hold the event is in your best interest. Ideally, the location should have ample room to move around and be very open. As for materials to bring, there are not many needed. Your basic rapid prototyping supplies, which include markers, sticky notes, etc., will be enough.
== Finding Funding ==
Collaborating with existing organizations/maker spaces on campus can be a great way to not only 1) secure funding through co-sponsored projects but also 2) collaborate with more change makers on campus and therefore get the word out about your I & E event.
== Selecting a Date and Time ==
Try not to schedule an event on campus close to finals or mid terms, because not as many students will show up (even though they'd love to). It is also advisable to check well in advance of the event to see if your event clashes with any other high-profile and well publicized event on campus. You don't want to lose any potential attendees.
