2-Collaborate with Innovative faculty members on preparing modules, tips on innovation. Moreover, get approval for allowing Video conference from where the speaker is visiting at the Innovation Centre which is at a different campus for students who are not at the same campus to also be a part of the event.

3. Calling on these inspiring students to join an innovation community. From the very start of the training program, we are asked to find students with inspiring stories and I used the lesson I learned from there that I need to compliment and appreciate people for their achievements. Now email them individually to congratulate them for being an inspiration to others. During the prototype in Session 4 the test responded positively and was ready the support the innovation community.

Get more information from students about what they would like to be on that wall and how interactive they would like it. Start by a normal board where students can provide feedback and drop their ideas and rate events Secure funding and resources needed to provide the right wall (at a place where everyone can see it and stop by it) and the LCD with the videos/announcements on it. Get students feedback about the usefulness of the information wall and analyze the change it caused on our communication system (i.e. whether students will then be aware of the events happening and if enough of them are attending)

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Description'''</span><br/> ===
While studying the landscape canvas of our university, we discovered that students usually did not attend events about I and E organised on-campus. Our campus analysis together with various interviews with the faculty led us to the conclusion that:
1-We don’t have a strong innovation culture at our university.
2-And, that the communication between the university and the students regarding upcoming events, is not that strong.
Recently, the innovation centre at our university organized a 3D printing workshop for students to familiarize them with the idea of 3D printing. Surprisingly, this time the room was full of students to such extent that we ran out of chairs! Hence, for my prototype, I saw this event as an opportunity to study the circumstances that led to this workshop being a ‘house full’.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Research''' </span> ===
1-Study the methods used to advertise the workshop by the faculty in-charge. The faculty used university TV screens, university e-mails, university apps and university social media pages to announce about this upcoming workshop.
2-Interview Dr. Petra from the innovation centre regarding the 3D printing workshop.
3-Discover if there were other departments involved besides the innovation centre. An architecture department Professor gave the tutorial on 3D printing along with displaying 3D printed models from the ‘architecture students projects archives.’
4-Check if any student-based clubs are involved in advertising or promoting the event. Student-based group called the architecture association helped promote the workshop through their own social media pages, Instagram and snapchat, along with verbal announcements and WhatsApp messages.
5-Interview the president of the architecture association regarding the 3D printing workshop.
6-Attend the workshop to record and document the whole event.
7-Get feedback from students who attended the workshop, regarding how successful the workshop was in terms of educating them about 3D printing. Moreover, get students feedback on how they heard about the workshop (i.e. what methods of advertising did they hear from about the workshop).
8-Reflect on how the review from students and the interview from Dr. Petra and Architecture Association President, can help us in devising solutions for the problems faced in our ecosystem.
=== <br/span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #1: Have hands-on activities that encourage innovation rather than speeches and talks that majority of students don’t attend.<br/span>=== 1-Get in touch with the different student clubs at the university including the innovation club. Talk to the presidents of the club to encourage hands-on activities at club fairs and event days. '''2-People to meet''': - Presidents of different student clubs -Student support services office at the university to request for hosting student activity events. -Students that need to be made aware about innovation. -Finance departments to request funding for new events. -University Administration for approval of new events. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
