= Faculty Entrepreneurship =
Examples of faculty-led innovation can be seen across the Boise State Campus. A prime example of this is the Vertically Integrated Projects program, or VIP, which gives faculty avenues for conducting their research, while also pairing them with interested students to help conduct the research and gain valuable skills. The Human-Environment Systems, or HES program does a similar job to the VIP program but is focused solely on biology centered topics. The Instructional Design and Educational Assessment, IDEA shop for short is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning. The IDEA shop focuses on helping faculty integrate technology into their teaching, learning, and assessment. Another resource on campus that helps both faculty and students access technologies and develop ideas is the Makerlab. The Boise State Makerlab is a radically inclusive community which focuses on democratizing access to emerging technologies, and training students and faculty how to use the technology at zero cost, along with zero cost to use any of the equipment.
