<span style="font-size: 14.4pxsmall;">Students do not really seem to know much about I&E especially in their first two years at university. This is why we decided to work on promoting design thinking.</span>

== <span style="font-sizecolor: 14.4px#808080;">Strategy #1: Making Campus Information Book</span> ==<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a University Photobookhigher level. This will push other students to know about competitions on campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div>== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competitions on Campus</span> ==<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the competitive spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the entrepreneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div>== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs</span> ==<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we acquired<div>after completing this program. This will motivate students to join the entrepreneurship program to learn and grow.</div><div><br/></div><div>&lt;parsererror style="display: block; white-space: pre; border: 2px solid #c77; padding: 0 1em 0 1em; margin: 1em; background-color: #fdd; color: black"&gt;

<span style="font-sizeProject 2: 14.4px;">Our main project is to make a photobook for our campus containing pictures of all the students. This way, students will get to know every other student in the faculty. In this book, a "prize list" will be integrated. It contains all the prizes and competitions the students participated in during the year. Students will then get an idea about the different types of competitions available inside and outside the campus and learn how other student managed to participate and win in these competitions.</span><span styleWeekly Articles ="font-size: 14.4px;">This will motivate more students to keep on participating in every opportunity and level up their I&E mindsets.</span>

== <span style="fontA weekly Article will be created by the USJ-size: 14.4px;">Strategy #2: Organizing campus meetups between students, faculty UIF club members and engineers who pursued entrepreneurshipwill be posted online so that everyone can profit from the article.</span> ==

<span style="font-size: 14Articles evolve around different topics.4px;">Empowing students to innovate and pursue their goals is essentialInnovation, and one way to achieve this outcome is by letting them learn and get advice from others who have already made itEntrepreneurship, Design Thinking, Investors, Financial literacy, etc.. This is why we have decided to plan and organize frequent meetups with important entrepreneurs inside the campus.</span>

<span style="font-sizeSome examples are: 14.4px;"></span>

<span style="font-size: 14.4px&nbsp;&nbsp;">Participation in the program is a long-term plan for our university. Meeting potential fellows at university is essential in order to motivate them to join the program and keep the momentum going in our campus. This way, they will have the opportunity to benefit from our already established experience with the program.</span>

<span style="font-sizeProject 3: 14.4px;">Our long term changemaking goals will require other fellows to continue the process of developing and executing them.</span>USJ Extreme week =

But what is special in this coffee machine is: *Prototype 1: Key Speaker – A person sharing giving a workshop about certain topics*Prototype 2: A whiteboard is written on it a topic that uses great marketing technics to promote itself and let students discuss it and learn from each other’s experiences*Prototype (Idea – On - Paper) 3: The coffee machine talks to the students taking coffee using AI and suggest they talk about projects and topics that might be interesting and will help them develop their personal skills. = Project Video: = This is the link to the youtube video for our project.
