The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Lab should be composed of three committees: the events committee, the online resources committee, and the initiatives committees. The events committee will be responsible for planning and hosting short-term events while the initiatives committee will be responsible for sponsoring or planning long-term entrepreneurship related projects.The online resources committee will be in charge of updating the lab’s web page with all the information about the upcoming events and all the entrepreneurship and innovation related resources on campus. </span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-6c2f5a36-7fff-14d5-1a44-dea154005421" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Union College strives to enrich their students and teach them how to be creative thinkers in every discipline and beyond. Classes offer a good range of interdisciplinary lessons that help with this, but they fall short in offering a physical extension of this. There are lectures and labs, but no available shared space for students to explore hands on with their ideas and tests them out. This is why I suggest Union uses one of its pre existing spaces, possibly in the library and converts it into a makerspace. This space would be large enough for many people to use it at once, everyone would have access, and it would be full of resources like computers with advances software programs, all types of printers, projectors, office supplies, and basic prototyping material (pipe cleaners, rubber bands etc.). If teachers could further incorporate usage of the space within their curriculum students would be more confident in their ability to not just learn, but apply what they learn and create things. As the document from Stanford’s EXTREME class showed many students, especially when academically successful, are not used to or okay with failing, but failing is learning and the only way to improve. Taking a leap towards physical constructing something helps with this learning process.
