As part of our initiative to get more students involved from all faculties, we will be hosting regular events and workshops for students to gain all the skills they need to run a startup. These workshops have to be regular so students get to know the schedule and come as they have available time. The workshops will be hosted by guest speakers and facilitated by volunteers. The topics we wish to cover include coding for beginners, design, making effective phone calls, and much more.
== Tactic no. 2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==
We would like to enable students to use physical office/home supplies to create their prototypes right in the collider during the workshops, events, or contests. This will allow students to create a physical prototype and get one step closer to the final product.
== Tactic no.3: Promote the Collider as more of a specifically entrepreneurial space ==
We wish to transform the Collider into a more entrepeneurship and innovation-oriented space. We will do this by physically transforming the room, "theming" it with entrepreneurship and innovation inspirational quotes on the wall, etc. We also wish to have regular walk-in times every week, when students can come in and work on their own entrepreneurial ideas in the space. We wish to have a posted professor or other university staff with experience and entrepreneurship present during these times to answer any questions that students may have about startups, and provide help on specific issues should students need it.
= Strategy #6 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =
Class exchange initiative deeply relies on the collaborative support and dedication of various stakeholders on campus. To ensure that the initiative will be successfull, the idea should be clearly delivered to the deans and professors. In this regard, we plan to have meetings to receive their feedback on the class exchange system. We believe this would lead for a better continuation by having the prior aggrement and commitment of affiliated stakeholders.
= Strategy #8 - Creation of a Friendly Common Brand across all Entrepreneurship Activities =
Beginners feel alienated in the status quo with regards to entrepreneurship activities. They have a perception that they do not have the "right stuff", that it is too difficult, that it is reserved only for business majors, etc. In order to fill the gap and correct these misconceptions, we will strive to create friendlier and more approachable branding for all existing and future entrepreneurship activities, as well as simply informative promotion with regards to beginners that will strive for inclusivity and approachability.
== Tactic no.1: Get feedback from entrepreneurship beginners on approachability of promotional material ==
To achieve this approachability and friendly marketing, we will run marketing by actual students and get feedback vis-a-vis these characteristics that we are striving for.
