== Strategy #1 Connecting the existing elements for better synergies <br/> ==
The idea is to tackle the problems “lack of access” and “lack of knowledge about participants at the university” by creating a better and more convenient way to use the existing resources on campus. We learned that the problem “lack of space / resources” actually can be proven wrong by the analysis of the campus via the landscape canvas. We do have prototyping spaces (multiple!) and we do have rooms to ideate, as well as institutions helping to spin out. The conclusion is: connecting these resources instead of creating new ones.
Projects are groups that form to tackle a problem or design a solution. This can happen in actual working groups, registered via our central students committee or in loose connections. The things necessary to be displayed are the numbers of students involved and the mission statement. It will also be able to get in contact much faster than usual, so connections get created quicker.

=== '''Resources''' ===
Resources range from facilities like prototyping spaces or rooms to ideate to consulting hours by professors and faculty staff eager to help. The idea is that projects will run through phases in the innovation process and can access the existing resources more convenient. The resources will also have a tag showing which phase they are ideally brought in. In this example the students workshop is ideal for the prototyping phase.[[File:TUHH Feed Resource.png|center|TUHH Feed Resource.png]]
=== '''Events''' ===
We also wanted to include Events, because they can inspire students to act and also meet others that are interested in the topic the event is for. It will open the students circles and increase interactions through which projects can be started. In this example, we have an exhibition on climate change. It’s date and entry fee is stated, as well as an interactive link to the location and a small description. Students can signal participation by entering the event and also link it to their calendar.

=== '''Profile''' ===
'''[4] Appreciation''' – Now that the university has more transparency over students extracurricular activities, maybe these can be translated into new courses or “problem bases learning” sessions, again feeding the education quality and experience
== Strategy #2 Raise participation at the campus through a community app<br/> ==
The following prototype attacks the problem of low participation at the university campus. The missing commitment of students leads to diverse problems at the campus, this is why we want to raise awareness for problems and ideas!
The prototype is an app which is based on a community voting system. Every student, staff or professor can log in with their university account and participate. Important is the inclusion of every member at the university. After logging in one has the possibility to post an idea or a problem which is bothering them on campus. Differing from “We don´t have a space for personal projects” to “University Mensa is to crowded to eat between lectures” and “I want to build a makerspace!”. The different ideas or problems are then listed in a feed and are presented to the community.
The advantages are that people are not “alone” with their problems and when getting support from the community a highly voted problem might start a change making project.
On the other side, it is a good indicator for decision makers what the actual atmosphere at the campus is.
Important to mention is that the feed is moderated in order to maintain on a friendly basis, hence the platform does not become a place of hate speech.
To incentivise the user a points account is introduced which tracks their activity. For students, a good participation might then rewarded with credit points at the end of their studies.
=== Different categories:<br/> ===
Problem: Identified problems on the campus -> Outcome: What bothers the university?
Idea: Ideas to solve or to improve -> Outcome: Source of innovative ideas for further projects
Q&A: Asking question to experienced students -> Outcome: Collection of answers which help students improving their studies.
=== Strategic Priorities:<br/> ===
'''[1] Awareness''' – Showing where the “real” problems are and create awareness to see the campus with open eyes for innovations
'''[2] Interdisciplinarity''' – Students (Of every department), staff or professors: Everyone is included
'''[3] You are not alone''' – Showing that you are not alone with your or any problem and raise solidarity
'''[4] Knowledgebase''' - Ensure that knowledge and experiences are transferred to next generations
