== '''Project #1: ~~Intro to Design Thinking Competition~~Get the Freshman Involved - Change the Culture from the Start!''' == Our goal is to change the culture of the how our students approach I&E opportunities. Over the course of the next four years, we will grow a sustainable I&E ecosystem through each new incoming class. We are developing a system which targets freshman and transfer students during their first week on Temple’s campus. The goal is to show the freshman their latent potential for I&E during their very first week of school. Our plan is to hold a design thinking introduction event freshman students and transfers. Implementing this program in the beginning of a student’s collegiate career will impact significantly on the student's’ future schedules, thinking and various routines. We intend to introduce students to the design thinking process and the existing I&E ecosystem while their concepts of possible opportunities are still at their highest.

Milestone 1: Invite students to a one hour planned, controlled, yet simple event that hold up to 20 to 25 students and get them involved with small design thinking challenges that would interest them and tease their minds.

== '''Project #2: ~~Skill Development Pop-up Classes~~Encourage Student to Utilize Existing Resources''' == One of the needs that we have identified on our campus is the need to encourage students to utilize the existing I&E resources that we have here on campus. Reasons for not utilizing the resources include not knowing the resource existed, the resources not being in a centralized location, fear of failing in public view or disproval of ideas from peers, lack of time to pursue interests due to school workload, andmany students don’t feel like they have the necessary skills is use the equipment in the collaboration spaces.  For example, while many students are thrilled to hear that we have 3-D printing capabilities many admitted that they didn’t know how to approach the concept.

This will also be an excellent time to highlight the location and availability of all the resources that we have.  These classes will be open to all temple students.   '''Skill Development Pop-up Classes'''

Milestone 1: Stakeholder support

== '''Project #3: 3Initiate Campus-~~Day Startup or 3-Day Design Challenge~~wide Collaboration''' ==

One of the needs that we have identified on our campus is a lack of campus wide I&E collaboration events. While all colleges agree that it is important to take the learning out of the classroom and experiment with it, there are very few events that allow student to come together to design products and test theories.  Our aim over the next 3 years is to establish a campuswide 3-Day Startup or Design Thinking competition / workshop which will be held each semester. Preferably the event will be held during the first two weeks of each semester. This will ensure that student aren’t overwhelmed with classwork while creating a desire to utilize the available I&E resources throughout the remainder of the semester. This program will be open to all Temple Students and Alumni. The program encourages networking and places the professionals alongside the students for a mutually beneficial learning experience.

'''3-Day Startup or 3-Day Design Challenge'''

Milestone 1: Create a comprehensive 3-Day Startup program
