This will give students something to work towards while working on their ventures and promote entrepreneurship and innovation on campus. Instead of giving the startup a large cash prize every year, we can give them an award of value, not just money.</span>
== Project Four: Teach == === <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 1: Weekend Workshop</span></span> === <span style="font-size:medium;">Creating a weekend workshop on campus to teach students about problem solving through Design Thinking. Through this workshop, students will be exposed to empathy, interdisciplinary teamwork and resources our campus has. Students will be challenged to identify a problem (possibly at the school) and work together so propose a solution. At the end of the workshop, students will have the opportunity to continue to pursue the solution they defined, and may be awarded a financial prize to do so.</span> === <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 2: Freshman Workshop</span></span> === <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="TextRun SCXW32809281" xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW32809281" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: inherit;">Revamp of the existing Freshman Workshop requirement to incorporate a curriculum for problem solving with Design Thinking (DT).
