= Strategy #4 – Rethinking 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 ==
We wish to transform the Collider (or modify a new existing space) 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 in 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 #5 – Hold More Student-Lead Hackathons on a Regular Basis =
