== <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Three: Innovation Retreat</span> ==
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span><span style="font-size:larger;">Currently, Michigan Tech has a focus on retreats for Leadership and similar skills, but no such thing for Innovation. There is plenty of time within the curriculum schedules of students who are interested to attend a weekend retreat to the surrounding wilderness of Michigan Tech, and focus solely on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, to help cultivate an Innovative Mindset.</span><br/></span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:larger;">This retreat would help students cultivate Innovation Mindsets by presenting them with real world challenges, and giving them time to work on finding solutions for these challenges, followed by creating prototypes of their solutions by using whatever resources they find in the surrounding area. On the final day, the students will discuss challenges in the local community of Michigan Tech and how they might go about solving those challenges, as well as other strategies for staying involved in an innovation mindset after they leave the retreat.</span></span>
