This club will allow students to collaborate with one another in order to tackle issues within the local communities. Our hope is that students will learn valuable skills such as networking, prototyping, and business pitching throughout the duration of this club's existence. We feel it has the potential to reach students throughout Grand Valley, and change their ideas on what entrepreneurship and innovation really means.</span></span></span>

It is an intensive, and there is very little collaboration between them. In hopes of gathering people from all majors and fieldsstructured, we believe it would be a good idea innovation workshop where students work together to uncover possible solutions to create an open event that crosses various problems. These students will achieve this by following the traditional boundaries in pursuit of innovationDesign Thinking Process to empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test, and validate their solutions with others.</span></span><br/> ==

While this can be the case, Design Start will be an opportunity to open these topics up to everyone. Design Start will be held on January 11th and 12th, which is the start of a new semester. This will allow students to more easily attend before classes become more demanding.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt17pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">EDU Share Night focuses on open access for all students.

The event would focus on presentations. Whether fully formed, such as a formal paper, artistic piece, or speech, or only beginning, like a startup idea, novel concept, or scientific study hypothesis, all GVSU affiliates would This program will be welcome open to share, receive feedback, students from many different college and connect with experts universities in their study the Grand Rapids area. All of the colleges at Grand Valley specialize in This will allow for a particular field, which would be helpful in creating a diverse group melting-pot of people with whom a student could brainstorm with or get help on a project withstudents to come and work together.</span></span>==

Promotion would need to occur to gather student interest at each of the colleges. Due to the lack of visibility in the honors college, it would be essential proven to promote effectively. A poor turnout for the first event would discourage attendees from returning should it be held again. Secondlysuccessful, sustainment of the collaborative process after we will look into planning the event will be difficult. We are still developing a safe, useful option for event participants to stay in contact, stay involved, and continue to pursue their passions after the EDU Share Nightfollowing year.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"> </span>=
