With so much Entrepreneurial and Innovative aspects to the learning at ASU, the problem does not stem from a lack of access to opportunities. We've discovered the problem now lies in students having access to comb through everything available to find the options that best suit their needs and move forward on their own innovative entrepreneurial journey. We've discovered that our process through University Innovation Fellows was more than to create E&I opportunities, but to utilize the opportunities we currently have and better market them to the students who need them.
The segregation of campuses causes other problems we've discovered throughout the process. Often times there is not much that can be done about maker spaces or innovation labs located on specific campuses. However, many campuses are hosting their own speaker series with both local and national entrepreneurs and CEO's. Right now these live events are a great resource that has one simple mode of consumption; the live event itself. With the ease of live streaming video as well as video storage, these types of events should span all locations and even allow students unable to make the events the ability to pull up a recorded talk at a time convenient for them.
A new online portal is the solution that we believe will solve many of the issues students are having with our entrepreneur and innovation capabilities of the ASU community. By allowing a simple way to filter every E&I event and opportunity available to the community, we can provide tailored help to all individuals in need. The entrepreneurial journey can be tough enough on it's own. Finding the help to get it moving shouldn't be. Through our efforts with UIF in collaboration with ASU, we believe we can solve that issue.
