This can take many different directions. Students can for example complete their service learning hours with an innovative organization, create their own project, create a project as a group, etc. The opportunity to participate in such a service learning experience should be open to all students, not just those fulfilling a requirement. Therefore, this can serve as a resource for students across all faculties regardless of what they are studying and if they can take the class that corresponds to this service learning.</span></span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-89aea9bf-2e35-64bc-6b31-672d40b0f03a"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Team Leader: Maria Garcia Quesada</span></span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-89aea9bf-2e35-64bc-6b31-672d40b0f03a"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestones:</span></span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-89aea9bf-2e35-64bc-6b31-672d40b0f03a"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Talk to the Tulane Center for Public Service about incorporating this option into the service learning offerings - October 2014</span></span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-89aea9bf-2e35-64bc-6b31-672d40b0f03a"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Talk to faculty leading service learning courses about possible options - November 2014</span></span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-89aea9bf-2e35-64bc-6b31-672d40b0f03a"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Talk to local organizations that value innovation and entrepreneurship about possible partnerships - February 2015</span></span></span> <span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-89aea9bf-2e35-64bc-6b31-672d40b0f03a"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Implement service learning option - August 2015</span></span></span> <span><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span> = Strategy 3: Stimulating Innovative Thinking through Creative Platforms = Innovation does not necessarily need to happen inside the classroom or inside a space specifically designed for innovative activities. It can happen anywhere, anytime, and involve not just the STEM majors but every student on campus. == Tactic #1: Embed Innovation Into Campus Enviornment == Team Leader: Kim Ma Description: Walls are a very effective communication medium that is often overlooked. Therfore, we can utilize these free spaces to set up a creativy board that allows students to express their creativity in very simple ways. This idea is inpsired by a creative product called Daily Doodle Calender, which gives you a prompt for each date and allows you to doodle according to the theme given. For example, a vase may be printed on the calenderr and the prompt would ask you questions like "What do the flowers in the vase look like?". In this way, it encourges you to imagine freely and boldly and create something unique everyday. Similarly, we can have a "Doodle Board" in the LBC student center and give a weekly theme/prompt to challenge students to utilize their creative thinking things to solve a problem or answer a question. Milestones: #Talk to Design Thinking class instructor to discuss about the idea of setting up such a platform - October 2014 #Talk to Office of Student Affairs for the permission of using space in the student activity center - November 2014#Work with the Social Innovation & Social Entrepreneurship (SISE) program to ensure the continuation of the creative medium - February 2015 == Tactic #2: Utilize Online Resources on NovoED == Team Leader: Kim Ma Many prestigious insitutions such as Standord University offer free online courses on NovoED that allow students to learn more about innovation and entrepreneurship. There are also courses such as ''Creativity: Music to My Ears'' that stimulate innovative thinking skills through various group and individual assignments. These online courses are great resources for students who wish to learn more about I&E. Therefore, Tulane students can participate in these courses as a team and hold weekly workshops/discussions to exchange ideas and work on the assignments. #Explore suitable online courses available on NovoED for the next school yearr - October 2014#Talk to Center for Engaged Learning and Teaching (CELT) and find faculty/fellows willing to lead the weekly workshops - November 2014#Talk to faculty of the Social Innovation & Social Entrepreneurship (SISE) program regarding possible integration of these online resources s into its curriculum - March 2015
