<parsererror style== Strategy "display: block; white-space: pre; border: 2px solid #2 c77; padding: 0 1em 0 1em; margin: 1em; background- Improving communication of current innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities to students. color: #fdd; color: black">=== This page contains the following errors: === During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that communication of existing innovation and entrepreneurship <div style="font-family:monospace;opportunities was lacking and potentially resulting in students not attending events or not gaining a proper understanding of the existing opportunities.<br/font-size:12px">error on line 1 at column 103: attributes construct error <br/div>As a result we would like to identify methods for improving the communication between innovation resources and students and help connect interested students with events and activities that can help them on their entrepreneurial journeys. Our current prototyping has found that QR codes while initially seaming like a fun and interesting way for students to interact === Below is actually seen as a hindrance and may not be fully utilised as would be expected.<br/><br/>We would like to trial more advertising and communication techniques such as an "innovation board" in a communal area rendering of the university, "abstract links" that get students completing a challenge or game page up to gain access to a link to information or mass advertising drops using interesting mediums such as bouncy balls with links or slickers found all throughout the university. '''The Plan:''' To start off we would first like to pilot the "Innovation Board" idea using a small group of students from a common area on campus such as the main lobby of the UTS tower. A UIF leader with a whiteboard divided into sections would prompt students to add a "card" (sticky note) to the board under particular sections. These sections could be for example "What does it mean to be innovative", "What skills does an entrepreneur need" etc. The board would also have information about where to find out more and events comming up on campus that could help them in finding out the answerserror.=== Initially students would be guided to the board and asked questions about the board such as "how they would use it", "did they find it intuitive"," was the experience fun/educational" etc. Using this feedback we could start to get a better idea of how students would interact with such an instalment and how we could improve it so that they get the most value from it. In the long term we would like to find ways to integrate the innovation board into related classes, subjects and courses to help it become a focal point of innovation and entrepreneurship at UTS.<br/parsererror><br/>By increasing student awareness of the programs, opportunities and other students that exist both on campus and in the surrounding community we hope to increase the innovation and entrepreneurship culture at UTS and generate higher motivation within our peers to take on new challenges and follow through with innovative ideas.
