= Strategy #1 - Create a student led Innovation Committee 2019 Strategic Priorities =
Following the research involved in the landscape canvas of UC's current Entrepreneurship and Innovation ecosystem, it becomes clear that UC offers a range of I&E resources that is catered towards the wider community. Whilst this is important and beneficial towards the UC community, there is an obvious disconnect of these resources towards students who want an introductory <span style="tastefont-size:large;" of I>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eYWSrtbIP8&E.t=23s Change Story Video 2019]</span>
This is where the formation of a strong, student-led Innovation committee of students would be incredibly beneficial in promoting the various entrepreneurship resources that we have right on campus. This promotion will come in the form of events, activities, guerilla marketing, which will occur over a cross-platform social media.= Strategy # 1 UC Resources Map =
We recognized that the resources on campus are fragmented with no easily accessible information for students. To foster I&nbsp;E culture on campus it is a critical to connect these resources as well as highlighting their presence. A simple website and/or app that serves as a navigation tool for students to learn more about I&E resources on and off campus is one method to address this issue. The key goal of this website/app is to improve connectivity of existing

 A physical map of campus that identify key locations related to I&nbsp;E. E.g. location of workshop, maker space, millhouse, working spaces.
= Strategy #2 - Improve social events  A list of off campus resources and collaboration between clubs supporting organizations including E24, CBR innovation network, KILN incubator this is essentially the landscape canvas organized and societies =visualized. However, this can also include external services run by graduated or current UC students, for example, “Interation”, a 3D printing service by Jon Clever a recent graduate offering discount to current students. Linking these key resources can allow student to easily access services they need for their ideas.
Examining the current social and cultural clubs on campus at UC, we possess an incredibly diverse range of sporting, academic, social and cultural societies. Within some  A list of these societies, there already contains a tie coming events related to outside organisations, some having origins from these organisations, such asI&nbsp; Enactus, Rotaract or Amnesty International. These direct ties towards communityE, share common goals information and aspirations with that location of human centered entrepreneurship and Innovationthose events. This list should include details like accessibility, whereby the common goal of finding solutions to situations ticket requirement and problems affecting the world is universally sharedrelated event.
Based on some interviews with current presidents of societies on campus Once I&E culture are more grounded at UC, it was identified is expected that each society tends to keep to their respective groupsthe user base for this website will increase along with number of student projects in I&E. In reality, where crossing and collaboration rarely occur. If this were to be changed, whereby societies page can celebrate their shared common goals also expand beyond I&E and valuesreach into research projects. With sufficient number of users, social events students seeking collaboration can be combined listed as well as available idea and projects open to students to create larger numbers join. For example, architecture student seeking sociology student and thus bring more awareness urban planning student to participate in an international competition or industrial design student seeking business student to collaborate to commercialize designs. This is aimed to social eventsbreak down barrier and improve cross-disciplinary collaboration and further facilitate campus connectivity.
 A search function from a data base that includes key words and topics of above information, so that students can quickly find resources/events/other students and projects.
 An interlinked community with strong presence is successfully established.

With the release of UC's latest strategic plan 'Distinctive by Design' which outlines List ongoing research projects at UC's own milestone endeavors for the years 2018-2022, Entrepreneurship and Innovation&nbsp; was at thus the forefront for strategic importance website/app can also be used publicly to the Institutionpromote UC projects. Therefore, an invested interest should occur in the establishment of an List I&E&I Help Centre events on campus, a common hub whereby the website with comprehensive details so students can receive advice whilst developing a passion for easily access information about future I&E&I principlesevents.

= Strategy #4 - Incorporate a UIFresh approach to curriculum for first year's<br/> 2 UC Student I&E committee =
During interviews with incoming first year As identified by Innovation Fellow Amannda Huot, disjointed of resources inhibits uninitiated students at UCto experience I&E opportunities. Where a strong, it was found that whilst many said they student-led Innovation committee of students would be interested incredibly beneficial in learning about Entrepreneurship promoting the various entrepreneurship resources. Where this student-led innovation committee effectively takes on managerial and Innovation promotion responsibilities of I&E on campus. During our research on the current ecosystem we noticed many past on campus I&E projects since 2018 are now inactive. We recognized the importance of continuity of I&E projects, they wouldn't necessarily go out this highlights the importance of their way updating and maintenance of projects on a timely manner as well as recognizing currently active students will eventually graduate and thus selecting successor is a key step to seek various avenue's preserve and pathwaysfurther growth of I&E culture. This can be amended by bringing We propose an update on Student Led Innovation Committee that specifically address the issue of ongoing maintenance. Considering UC has assigned staff to manage I&Eresources on campus, an I&E taskforce consisting of student representatives and professional staffs is a way to directly manage and control I to first years&E resources,&nbsp; during orientation weekpromotion and projects. However, where they are initially discovering what UC has we believe the bottom-up student approach should be maintained in order to maintain that student perspective. However, university staff can select or offerthe student representative position to students deemed capable and passionate. With periodic meeting and reports to ensure ongoing maintenance and updates.
The incorporation of design thinking into the curriculum of first year students in all faculties will be incredibly beneficial, as the design thinking skills learned will produce a significant impact on the entrepreneurship and innovation landscape at UC, which will bring long term and continual benefits to students own professional careers.'''<span style="font-size:medium;">Milestones</span>'''

= = Clearly define roles to student representatives == Specific roles should be assigned to student representatives. As an alternative to Amannda Hout’s proposed structure. We suggest a flat structure with specializations. The roles we currently propose include event organizer(s), promotion and media manager(s), projects manager(s) and maintenance officer(s) each having distinctive duties that complements each other.  Event Organizer(s) – Organization and coordination of I&E events, however the event organizer is also tasked with finding out suitable events and designing them in the context of UC.  Promotion and media manager(s) – Produce promotional material and media releases on I&E of UC. He or she is also responsible for promoting a general awareness of I&E culture on campus.  Project manager(s) – Tasked to discover and organizing student I&E projects. The project manager(s) are also capable I&E thinkers who can guide students to imitate their own I&E projects.  Maintenance officer(s) – are students tasked with collection information from other student representatives. They work closely with all other representatives and university staff to provide continuous updates on I&E culture. == Ongoing projects and changeovers == The taskforce’s continuous effort in constructing I&E culture should result in more I&E exposure to students in general. This in turn increases student’s interest in I&E activities, this potentially add new member to the taskforce building a positive cycle. However changeovers are necessary and should be conducted on a yearly basis to ensure long-term sustainability and longevity of I&E culture on campus. = Strategy # 3 Cross-disciplinary lectures and workshops = During our interview with students and meetings with university staff members we discovered that student engagement and education silo are major issues faced by University of Canberra students. From I&E perspective, we noticed that uninitiated students have very little knowledge of I&E resources and opportunities. With no current cross-disciplinary workshop and lectures, we were able to ideate a solution to promote more student engagement with I&E culture and the opportunity to be exposed to other disciplines as well as staff and students from different faculties. The solution we propose are series of cross-disciplinary lectures and workshops focused on I&E concepts. Establish a topic of conversation/lecture or workshop series which is open to all students. For example, a screening of a series of documentaries and films on I&E. “Foundation”, where lecturers from faculty of education, arts and design, science and technology and business are invited to discuss, comment and critic I&E concepts as shown in the film in relation to University of Canberra. While the documentaries can be a way of promoting I&E idea to students, the discussion following the film provides opportunity for student to learn more about I&E in context of Canberra and available local resources. This is also a way of promoting cross disciplinary connection and engagement. <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Milestones'''</span> == Deciding suitable events == I&E events including lectures and workshops shouldn’t be selected at random. Carefully planned lectures and workshop series should be selected in the suitable context (Canberra) in order to maximize student engagement. Once the topic has been established, identify key participants (including staff from relevant faculties, local I&E network and entrepreneurs) as lecturer/mentors is the next critical stage. == Promote event through various media == One of the biggest issues of UC is lack of cross media promotion of events. To ensure student participation, the lecture/workshop events should be promoted in multiple channels including social media, flyers, emails, newsletters as well as the resource map and I&E task force as suggested in other strategic priorities. == Review of the event == It is very important to review the event to gauge student participating and learning experience. Content, lecturer/mentor of the workshop and lectures can then be modified to improve the coming events. A positive cycle of I&E engagement can only be built with consistent effort. = Strategy # 4 - UC Cross-Faculty Class = From our interviews with students we discovered students were not socializing or meeting students from outside their area of study, this has created the effect of ‘educational silos’. A cross-faculty class would enhance connection and engagement and give rise to collaboration opportunities for I&E across faculties. To address this, a class or program could be designed to bridge the Faculties of Arts & Design (FAD) and Business, Government & Law (BGL). This would give students the opportunity to meet new people, introduce them to new thinking styles, strategies and behaviours and expose them to a broader range of agile skills placing them on a stronger footing when they move forward in their professional journeys. Milestones == Approval and support of stakeholders == Gain permission from important stakeholders from FAD and BGL for a small-scale workshop/prototype, this could be held during orientation week or week 8 of the semester. == Market research + Prototype == Interview students and potential teachers to refine topics of interest for class. Organise a small group of interested students/teachers to put protype class together. Hold Prototype Workshop Market event to target students and hold prototype event and take on board feedback for further refinement. Report event results to faculty stakeholders and the chancellor, discuss opportunities for refinement and further events. == Report Findings and feasibility == If event is successful organise discussions with university stakeholders for potential to be included in the long term (5+ year) curriculum planning. == Take it further == After implementation and review reach out to other faculties and stakeholders (include students) for further collaboration opportunities. How could this be rolled out to create further unique learning and collaboration with areas such as Education, Health and Technology. = 2018 Overview = <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k6Tsfhd9Q0 &nbsp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k6Tsfhd9Q0&nbsp;&amp;nbsp];</span> = <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">2018 Strategy #1 - Create a student led Innovation Committee</span><br/> = <span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Following the research involved in the landscape canvas of UC's current Entrepreneurship and Innovation ecosystem, it becomes clear that UC offers a range of I&E resources that is catered towards the wider entrepreneurship community, that already contain ties to industry.

From ICT, coding, and entrepreneurship&nbsp; based societies, no females were present in promoting the clubs awareness. Having stayed and observed a society that promoted entrepreneurship/design thinking, the two most common things spoken by women when expressing their hesitations to join was “My idea in mind isn’t to be an entrepreneur” or “ I wouldn’t fit in well”. Another common quote spoken was&nbsp; "I'm not an entrepreneurial type person, but I am interested in design thinking”. Having interviewed the president of this club in regards to female representation, he said that there are actually more female members than male, yet when it got to the stage of pursuing a start up, women tended to drop off towards the later stages.</span> <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">By having a UC Women in STEM and Design Summit we are providing a platform for female ambassadors who are trailblazer's in their respective fields to share their stories and experiences towards the UC community, specifically young women who previously may have been disadvantaged and had to overcome obstacles and challenges as a woman in a male dominated industry.&nbsp;</span> <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">'''Milestones:'''</span> == <span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Organise an initial meeting with faculty members</span></span></span><br/> == <span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">​</span></span>​<span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;">Undergoing UIF training encouraged me to seek and pursue all resources on campus leading to innovation and entrepreneurship, uncovering networks of faculties whom are highly interested In the student experience and are willing to help student initiatives.
