Students want to collaborate on projects with people from different disciplines, but do not have a venue to interact with students from other programs or interested community members. Connect ICT is a networking event hosted by Shocker Startup designed to create meaningful collisions between students from different disciplines and the community. Students will share their project idea to a student and community member audience stating what they want to do and what they need to accomplish their goals. Members of the audience with different backgrounds and access to resources are encouraged to approach presenting students and form teams or partnerships.

Long-Term Tactics:

== '''Strategy 9: Increasing A''''''bout''''''the Plethora of I&E Resources on Campus''' ==

=== '''Tactic #1: Wu-Invent App'''<br/span><br/~~span~~> ===

'''Project Lead: Kyle Kopecky and Will Valentine'''

A single app that brings together various silos of innovation and entrepreneurship across campus in one cohesive space. Attending classes on the "Innovation Campus" at WSU, students have the desire to work across disciplines to create and innovate their every day lives. However, most are not aware of the vast resources that are at their disposal. Wu-Invent is a single app that will bring together the resources from every department across campus including engineering, business, the library, and more to increase student awareness and subsequently increase involvement in I&E.

=== '''Tactic #2: Wu Shocks Innovation Nation: The Orientation Experience'''<br/span><br/~~span~~> ===

'''Project Lead: Jessica Aldrich'''

As WSU promotes the current additions to the university as the "Innovation Campus," students deserve to be involved in innovation culture from the moment they step on campus. During the mandatory orientation, students would participate in Wu-Shocks Innovation Nation Design Experience. Students from every college are grouped together and tasked with helping Wu travel across campus, using all of the resources at their disposal along the way. After completion of the challenge, students would tour the campus and have the chance to use the resources first hand, tying their experience to the physical location of the resource.

== Strategy 10: Encouraging student involvement within I&E opportunities on campus ==

=== '''Tactic #1: Wichita Maker Faire''' ===

'''Project Lead: Spencer Lueckenotto'''

Maker Faires are popular across the country, allowing individuals of all ages to come together to share I&E ideas with like-minded individuals. To our knowledge, an event like this has never been done in Wichita or the surrounding areas. Hosting this event on campus would bring students and community members together in a unique space to share and collaborate on ideas. Strategy 11: Community Engagement and Involvement = Strategy 11: Community Engagement and Involvement.

=== Tactic #2: Innovation Curriculum ===

'''Project Lead: Mohd Sabra'''

<span id="docs-internal-guid-93f5ad23-537d-cecd-1d1a-97f8a36c5e3b" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial~~; font-size: 14.66px~~; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">Many of the engineering degrees at WSU require a senior design or capstone course that allows students to create an innovative product or process to meet needs within their field of study. However, outside of these courses, students in other disciplines do not have the same opportunity. By implementing an innovation-centered curriculum, students across campus would be encouraged/required to participate in an Innovation Project. Multidisciplinary teams would work with mentors (faculty and industry professionals) on developing an innovative idea that would be presented at the Shocker New Venture Competition, or other similar events on campus. Outside of this, the teams would be judged/graded by their mentors and would receive course credit for the work. </span
