<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">I think one of the most important ways to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within a school is to incorporate these traits into the classroom. &nbsp;Clubs and extra-curriculars are all great ways to further your passion for innovation, but the only way to guarantee that all students gain this valuable mindset is to enforce it in the classroom. &nbsp;I believe that one of the best parts of our makerspace is that it provides professors an added resource to promote an innovative mindset within their students. &nbsp;This includes assigning homework or group project assignments that require students to not only use the makerspace, but collaborate with their group members. &nbsp;Collaboration with this makerspace is key, because our goal is for the entire university to benefit from this advanced and creative space, not just engineers. &nbsp;For this reason, we are proponents of changing/adding classes to the university's curriculum that pull in students from all majors and encourage a collaborative culture within those students. &nbsp;We want to foster an environment in which students are excited about working with students from other majors because we feel that this not only creates a more successful product, but prepares them for the real world in which they will be forced to work with others who may not share their same perspective. &nbsp;In summary, we want the makerspace to play a significant role in the university's curriculum by encouraging collaboration with students from different majors and mindsets.&nbsp;</span></span></span>
