'''Tactic #2: '''Highlight popular failures of Entrepreneurial Ventures and explain why they were a failure. By using both small businesses and even once successful businesses as case studies, students will understand that no matter what stage of development a venture is at, it has the potential to fail. Recognizing this point will demonstate the importance of always understanding the environment the business have targeted itself towards.
== Strategy #6: Create a Platform to Connnect Student Innovators ==
While there are many student innovators around campus, there are many resources available to student innovators and entrepreneurs such as hackathons, clubs, accelerators, open-labs, and co-workspaces. Although going to these places are beneficial, students may still feel disjointed. However, in a large university population, it can be difficult to find mentors, other student innovators, and the right resources. Therefore, there is a need for a platform to connect student innovators.
'''Tactic #1: '''Create an online login system that allows students to sign up as members. These members get ranked by innovative competency through a survey. Members have the ability to find other student innovators, professors, workspaces, clubs, departments, etc. Members also have the ability to list themselves as a resource to help or mentor others.
'''Tactic #2:''' Develop a mobile app to locate student innovators nearby. Knowing where student innovators are will help other students better recognize their envirnoment, especially freshmen. Having the right resources will help student innovators accelerate the development of their idea.
== Strategy #7: Create a Workspace to allow Innovative Project Development ==
While there are many spaces for students to do homework and studies, these places offer basic furniture such as tables and chairs. Room that can be used by students in buildings include conference rooms, focus booths, and libraries. However, these rooms do not allow students to operate hardware tools or power tools and are not an ideal space for students to keep their equipment. Since many technical majors involve students working with tools, developing hardware prototypes, soldering, and 3D printing enclosures, there is a need for an environment (perhaps a large room or floor of a building) which has tools and equipment dedicated to helping students ideate and bring their idea to life.
'''Tactic #1:''' Propose a workspace to the appropriate leaders of multiple departments to request for dedicated workspace for student innovators. Some departments may be able to help with finding space around the university.
'''Tactic #2:''' Propose a dedicated workspace plan to the management of co-working spaces in an attempt to have accomodations for student innovators who have projects that need to stay in one location consistently and require dedicated space on a frequent basis.
