Getting students into the lab to build around an idea for a set time period would be a great way to get students in the entrepreneurial mindset. The #FashionHack here at Spelman is something that is in the works. A student felt as though it was time to bring the culture of Hackthons on campus for Spelman students to become engaged in the activity. The #FashionHack would be a hackathon that would be annually hosted on campus &nbsp;in the innovation lab for students to come together and be able to think about new ideas utilizing innovation lab materials and machinery to create a new design for Spelman clothing. The idea is that students will think of a design and implement it so that it can be presented to a group of judges for them to determine the best design. The design that wins would be sold in the Spelman College bookstore to other students.</span></span>

This would include students sitting down with managers/business owners of real companies and understanding the business model and getting to know every aspect of the company. The student should then think of ways to make the company better whether that be adjusting the business model to increase earnings or to come up with ideas to make increase the consumer base. Students will get the skill set they need to learn how to run and begin their own business. The purpose of this project would be for students to be involved in the business and learn about entrepreneurship through real world problems.</span></span>

They would undergo a certain training to develop and idea, iterate on it, and then implement it. They would then be able to present it to a group of judges that held high positions and are well versed with pitching. These individuals might be VC’s or investors and could potentially invest in the idea. This will encourage a startup culture on campus and encourage students to actually implement their ideas.</span></span>
