== Strategy #1: Integrate Entrepreneurship into Culture<br/> ==

=== Tactic #1: Religion, Poverty & Entrepreneurship ===

Team Leader::Katelyn Stengerand Dr. Jessica Livingston

#11/13 Talk with Faculty, Find interested Professors- Dr. Jessica Livingston

#03/13 -08/14 Find course work and layout. Invite speakers to talk in addition to the normal professor.#08/14 The course starts

If course cannot be offered in Spring, work on Fall quarter. === Tactic #2: Startup Stories ===

=== Tactic #3:Presentation Workshops on Buisness Modeling and Patents and Workshop SEED Grant Funding ===

Many students may have excitment with an idea and research they have conducted through Independent Projects / Research Oppurtunity Projects (IP/ROP). They may have ideas on how to make this research marketable, but do not have the knowledge to start. A workshop at the end of each quarter, after the End-of-Quarter Symposium for the IP/ROP may be helpful to provide insight on how to utilize research to get the ideas patented. Free resources that can aid in the initial paperwork of the paten patent process will be provided. Also, providing a contact for students to a lawyer or an appropriate faculty member for patent review will be benificial. Students will learn the full steps for a buisness plan process through a series of workshops held in the spring on 2014.

== Strategy #2: Establishing the Resources<br/> ==

=== Tactic #1: Undergraduate Accelerator ===

Description &nbsp;:RHIT students are interested in initiating businesses with their own ideas, but many lack the necessary knowledge to do so. The students who want to learn more about entrepreneurship can through an Accelerator Program. There is no reason for students to wait until after graduation when an accelerator can provide students with workspace, functional workshops on how to incorporate, how to divide equity, how to handle intellectual property, and finally the networks and connections to start a business while in school. The accelerator will provide students with an entrepreneurial community and support needed from initial inventigation and exploration of a concept to launch and growth.

Team Leader::TBDDr. Craig Downing

03/14 – Develop plan for program- the program is aimed at teaching freshman students an introduction to entrepreuneurship.&nbsp;

=== Tactic #2: Fighting Engineer Angels =User-Friendly Resouces&nbsp; ==

Description [250 words : A problem on why this strategy RHIT's campus is often that students do not know where certain resources are, or even what is available. To aid in helping students on campus, a GUI will be designed to establish what resources are available and where. This resource will be available on the RHIT Student's Page and also a main page for computers in the Maker's Space. Students will be able to navigate the website easily and know where to go for specific needs. A blog that also acts as an active archive for students is being made. Student and faculty can view past events and also past speakers. A list of alumni's contact inofrmation with experience in innovation or entrepreneurship will solve be available on this gap on your campus]blog as well.&nbsp;

A maker space will provide this need to RHIT students. A maker space is a community-oriented workspace designed to encourage exploration, experimentation, and collarboration amoung people with common technological interests. It will be a place for student to design and think in new ways, and give students tools to realize their ideas in creative and innovative ways.The space will be open to new ideas as well as emerging technologies. The space will be geared toward experimentation, open not only to technologies with direct and predictable applications to academic cirriculum but also to experimental ideas. The maker spce will be open to all students and faculty interested entrepreneurship development. The space will provide a variety of tools, ranging from physical computing such as Raspberry Pi, Code/Soft Computing, Interfaces, Imaging, Fabrication, Aerial Tools, CAD software such as SolidWorks, Music, and Resource Directories. Team Leader: TBDRyan Tanaka and Katelyn Stenger
