To start off we would first like to pilot the "Innovation Board" idea using a small group of students from a common area on campus such as the main lobby of the UTS tower. A UIF leader with a whiteboard divided into sections would prompt students to add a "card" (sticky note) to the board under particular sections. These sections could be for example "What does it mean to be innovative", "What skills does an entrepreneur need" etc. The board would also have information about where to find out more and events comming up on campus that could help them in finding out the answers.
Initially students would be guided to the board and asked questions about the board such as "how they would use it", "did they find it intuitive"," was the experience fun/educational" etc. Using this feedback we could start to get a better idea of how students would interact with such an instalment and how we could improve it so that they get the most value from it. In the long term we would like to find ways to integrate the innovation board into related classes, subjects and courses to help it become a focal point of innovation and entrepreneurship at UTS.<br/><br/>By increasing student awareness of the programs, opportunities and other students that exist both on campus and in the surrounding community we hope to increase the innovation and entrepreneurship culture at UTS and generate higher motivation within our peers to take on new challenges and follow through with innovative ideas.
