Students, faculty, and the community would be reinforced to remember that no idea is dumb during the workshop. Imagine how many people called the person who created the float, pool Noodle dumb when he or she pitched the idea to someone, that person is now very rich. The purpose is to be brave when creating ideas, have fun, and learn crucial, hands on skills that will help accelerate their success. One does not learn without taking chances and what a better place to try new experiences than in a Pop-Up class.
University Innovation Fellow, Timothy Moore, discussed with a group of UIF candidates how his team and he createda curriculum for their innovation center. [[File:Moore’s team was so successful with their marketing strategies to get attendees, James Madison University developed locations around campus to “ educate, collaborate, and Innovate” for students, faculty, and the surrounding community. The JMU XLABSX Labs started with very few courses and now have classes that stretch from ''Drones'' to ''Hacking for Defense'' and all the way to ''Augmented & Virtual Reality Design.png|thumb]]''
Their team marketed the Pop-Up classes one month in advance with-Flyers and Posters around campus
The awesome part of Pop- Up courses is that it connects students around campus that might have not had the opportunity to meet each other due to a difference in majors. Students studying chemistry that may have business aspirations also could take a Pop- Up class that is located in the Business department of school or vice versa. These types of expansions throughout campus are going to benefit and encourage students from all walks of life and majors to learn to work together and generate ideas that will change the world.
