<p style=Adam Marcinkowski="text-align: right;">[[File:Petrajordan2016.jpg]]</p>Adam is a junior Mechanical Engineering student and University Innovation Fellow Candidate at the Colorado School of Mines. He transferred from the United States Air Force Academy where his academic background was in he studied Political Science with a focus on how to innovate within large organizations. Adam became a UIF candidate to join the ranks of take-charge, unconventional change leaders.

At the Air Force Academy and an internship Adam is currently a Mines Venture Associate at Facebook, Adamhis university's research asked two questions: what is it about Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. He helps launch and coordinate innovative and entrepreneurial activities across the DNA of Silicon Valley companies that makes them so agile and adaptable? How do we export those elements to other organizations elsewhere? His work combined Mines campus. These include the good (growth mindsethackathon-like "Hackmines Innovation Challenge", rapid experimentationthe Mines Maker Society, culture building)campus makerspaces, the bad (the many ways bureaucracies try to kill innovation) Golden Startup Festival pitch competition, and more. A firm believer in the ugly (building political capitalbenefits of a competitive spirit, Adam has either captained, navigating bureaucracieslaunched, and culture change)/or helped popularize different business and engineering competitions across campus.

Adam He is able to use this a systems-level thinker trained in organizational intrapreneurship and innovation mindset as , and hopes becoming a Mines Venture Associate at Mines' Center for Entrepreneurship and InnovationUIF will challenge him to put his educational background to the test. He helps develop entrepreneurial thinking His stint as an Air Force researcher in his fellow engineering studentsSilicon Valley was spent investigating two key questions: what is it about the DNA of Silicon Valley companies that makes them so agile and adaptable? More importantly, while helping student how do we export those elements to other organizations ? His work combined the good (growth mindset, rapid experimentation, culture building), the bad (the many ways bureaucracies try to kill innovation) and clubs launch initiatives the ugly (building political capital, navigating bureaucracies, and adopt innovation strategiesculture change).

Besides innovation and entrepreneurship, Adam is heavily involved in aerospace on campus. His specific passionAdam's mission in life is to help move human civilization offworld so that we can live permanently in space and on other planets. The best way to do this, and the reason hebelieves, is through space mining - Mines is Planet Earth's at Minestop-ranked mining university, is and the only one to have a program in Space Resources. But large-scale human space miningcolonization relies just as much on human development as it does fuel, construction, and manufacturing. He Adam is currently the project lead for still a NASA lunar mining design competitionsocial scientist at heart and aims to help others rethink education, VP of the American Institute for Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA)ethics, and society for the chairman 21st century.     == Additional Links: == [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Colorado_School_of_Mines <b>Colorado School of AIAAMines</b>] 's Space Resources Committee''University Innovation Fellows''' Spring 2018: *[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Adam_Marcinkowski Adam Marcinkowski]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Curtis_Harrison Curtis Harrison]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Michael_Thuis Michael Thuis]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Torin_Johnson Torin Johnson] Spring 2017: *[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Emma_May Emma May]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Tanner_McAdoo Tanner McAdoo]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Sarah_Ingram Sarah Ingram]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Samuel_Warfield Samuel Warfield] Spring 2016: *[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Mallory_Britz Mallory Britz]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Daniel_Dickason Daniel Dickason]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Trevor_Clevenger Trevor Clevenger]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Tara_Maestas Tara Maestas]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Asya_Sergoyan Asya Sergoyan]*[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Nicholas_Yuan Nicholas Yuan] Spring 2014: *[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Corey_Brugh Corey Brugh][[Category:Student Contributors]][[Category:Colorado_School_of_Mines_(2018_Spring_cohort)]][[Category:Student_Contributors]]{{CatTree|Colorado_School_of_Mines}}
