By allowing students to specify their roles for the specified events, workshops, contests, projects etc. in the co-curricular record will build the desire of wanting to engage more and be a part of something. This way students can have an attachment to the event, workshop etc. they took a part in.
= Strategy #4 – Promote Rethinking the use of The Collider and other entrepreneurship spaces on campus =
The Collider is a multipurpose space in Killam Library for the collision of serendipitous ideas where from all academic and professional disciplines can come together to develop ideas and and create the future generation of innovators. The Collider connect students, local startups, mentors, investors and allows them to work together to help further grow the local startup ecosystem. Killam Library is the least-siloed space on the campus and place where people come together. It is in our best interest to help push this initiative to its full potential.
== Tactic no.1: Hosting regular workshops and hackathons in order to get students more informed and engaged about E&I ==
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. Additionally we wish to host monthly hackathons with a different theme each month. One month it can be for ocean science and ocean projects, while another month it can be a computer science hackathon and possibly a medical science hackathon. These hackathons will serve as a great place for students who have ideas in each of these disciples to come together and work on them.
== Tactic no.2: Build a design thinking corner in the collider space ==
