#Start promoting student’s projects to have the student community develop an interest in this new source of inspiration.
#Find resources for student’s projects.
= '''Strategy #2: Help students become aware of all the opportunities, events and programs that are available to them regarding I&E.''' =
== '''Create a platform to connect student’s interests with I&E offers''' ==
Create a website/app that offers students I&E related resources (be it a workshop, a conference, or any other sort of event) based on their own particular preferences.
=== '''Tactics + Milestones:''' ===
#Empathize with students to understand what other services that the app could offer are important to them.
#Create a way to have students showcase their own projects within the app. This could be in the form of a gallery, or the possibility to create their own events and list them with the other I&E offers.
#Develop a database with all the different events related to I&E across campus.
#Develop the website and mobile app.
== '''Introduce students to the formal and informal initiatives involving development as an innovator or entrepreneur at Universidad de los Andes has to offer.''' ==
An interactive blog, that has a printed version in the form of a magazine or catalog, that helps students track the different activities that are going on around campus. This could also be a space where the Innovator of the Month, so to speak, is presented alongside their work.
=== '''Tactics + Milestones:''' ===
#Encourage students to be a part of the initiatives in their spare time.
#Develop a system of positive incentives that can catalyzes the formal learning of students in the classroom. Bonuses for attending specific initiatives that are related to the subject of study.
#Search the community for entrepreneurs to present in the blog, before it is renowned enough that students are the ones who go in the search of the blog manager to have their work published.
#Develop the blog.
== '''Faculty I&E Summits to expose convey the importance of I&E beyond the Business, Design and Engineering departments.''' ==
At Los Andes, virtually every course that incorporates I&E into the formal learning curriculum is either of the Business, Design or Engineering department. We wish to tackle this problem by creating teacher-led “I&E Summits”, where the teachers can share their experience to point other teachers from other departments/schools in the right direction to adequate I&E into their curriculums.
=== '''Tactics + Milestones:''' ===
#“First Steps into I&E” Guides created by the Business Design and Engineering departments.
#Develop I&E handbooks, providing clear instructions and key pointers to incorporate I&E into the classroom.
#Create an inter-Disciplinary Student Innovation Council so the weaving of I&E into curriculums can be blended into student life seamlessly. Students could hold I&E Sessions themselves, to remind students the importance of I&E so they too can help accept other departments instructing them I&E related topics.
#Ask all departments and the Dean of Students to spread the information to all students and faculty members.
#Encourage both students and faculty to try to grasp a deeper understanding of all the benefits that can be derived from using I&E.
#Showcase alumni’s work in I&E to get students from all majors motivated and in sync with entrepreneurship and innovation.
== '''Centralize all I&E opportunities and offers in the same place within the university.''' ==
A big problem for students when looking to get a grasp of Innovation and Entreprenurship is that Los Andes is quite a bureaucratic institution; this means that every particular issue needs to be taken to a particular dependency…the problem with I&E is that all the resources are not necessarily located in the same building nor even close to each other. Hence, we would like to unify I&E in a single space (be it a building or a new dependency that handles all I&E procedures, raging from providing information about events to actually carrying them out).
=== '''Tactics + Milestones:''' ===
#Present the idea to the Entrepreneurship center, emphasizing that the building they are located in is the top choice to create the I&E hub.
#Develop a daily basis plan: after all this is a place where students know they can always find information and personal aid regarding entrepreneurial processes.
#Provide easy access to mentoring,
#Develop activities that help provide access to networking
#Create events that favor easy team building.
