== Strategy #1: Campus Information Book ==

<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div> </div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div> </div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in on campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div> </div>== Strategy #2: Organizing ~~Competions~~ Competitions on Campus ==<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the ~~competiton~~ competitive spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the ~~entrepeneurial~~ entrepreneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div> </div>

== Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs ==

<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on. </div>~~<div>~~Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we~~ </div>~~acquired<div>~~acquired~~ after completing this program. This will motivate students to join ~~entrepreneursip~~ the entrepreneurship program to learn and grow.</div><div> </div><div><<parsererror style="display: block; white-space: pre; border: 2px solid #c77; padding: 0 1em 0 1em; margin: 1em; background-color: #fdd; color: black">~~=== This page contains the following errors: ===<div style="font-family:monospace~~>~~font-size:12px">error on line 1 at column 1329: attributes construct error </div>=== Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error. ===</parsererror>= Project 2: Innovative Coffee bean =~~

~~'''What brings all students together......... '''                 '''It's coffee of course :) '''~~

~~Innovative coffee bean project is a small coffe container that will move between campuses providing free coffee for the tired students.  ~~= Problem ==

<span data-contrast="none" class="TextRun SCXW229850139 BCX0" xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US" style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-family: ArialThere is a big gap between on one side investors, ~~Arial_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-kerning: none; line-height: 19.425px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important;">This container will be positioned in a public place when visiting a campus~~ infrastructures supporting innovation and entrepreneurship and ~~next to it will be a white board with a subject written~~ on ~~it.

= ~~Project 3: Initiative- Bringing Students Together ~~ Solution ==

== Tactic 1 ==UIF club members and will be posted online so that everyone can profit from the article.

~~Development relationship with established business within the Tri-State area and develop company tours filled with students studying in that industryetc...~~

== Tactic 2 ==

~~Bring campus culture together along~~ #What I look for in entrepreneurs (An interview with ~~local businesses in~~ a ~~day filled~~ Lebanese investor)#How to create a startup with ~~showcasing students projects and business partnership~~ a vision?#What is Ideation #A Step by step guide to launch a startup#Strategic Planning Process#Hack the ecosystem at Berytech#Things to do before connecting with ~~the student-led projects.~~investors

~~== Tactic 3 ==~~

In order to improve the culture and atmosphere among students and local business, we would partner with local food businesses and food trucks to line up at our campus to provide us authentic treats. This would enhance business near our campus and spice up the current and future events.

== Solution ==

The aim of this program is to make USJ involved in the community. It consists of forming groups of students from different majors in order to work on a real problem encountered in a certain region in Lebanon. This way students will be initiated to multidisciplinary work, they will invest their potential and will be efficient in their community while using the facilities offered by their university. This may initiate future projects that students may be inspired to do after they graduate. This project will allow USJ to be better in the Spin-out section because our university has a lot of wet labs and offers several facilities but are only used for academic purposes and for research.

#Recruitment of students from all campuses

#Set a date that suits the majority of the students and is in harmony with the academic schedule

#Collaborate with Service de l’Insertion Professionnelle: Give the enrolled students sessions about the skills they need to acquire to be working in this program:

<li>Design thinking: 4 courses</li>

<li>Teamwork: 2 courses</li>

</ol>

#Collaborate with Operation 7e jour: Select one region (a year) and identify one problem

#Organize a trip for the students enrolled to go visit the region and study the ground they will be working on

#Go back to the university and bring together all the ideas

#Ideate

#Follow up from the professors

#Prototype

#Follow up from the professors

#The final presentation in front of the professors

#Choose the best project and present it to the people concerned about the problem in the region

#Collaborate with USJ services (incubators, accelerators, funds, labs, etc) to find a procedure to execute the project

#All the students enrolled, not only those who came up with the project, will give feedback to the team working on this project to enhance the chances of optimizing the idea

#Invest in the project Or study the project more profoundly Or let it go

#Execute the project

= Project 4: Awareness/Motivation and inspiration day for all USJ students  ~~: Peer teaching sessions~~ =

~~~~= <~~span style~~font face="~~font-family:~~ arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This idea is all about creating a beautiful platform for the students to enlighten and bring out the innovative thinking ability in them, and at the same time to effectively express their idea. We believe that peer Teaching is the best way to make this happen. We already have peer teaching classes going on in our daily classroom schedule. But the activities are not being executed in the way they are to be done. This might be due to the fact that students have an unnerving feel as they think they were forced to participate in the activities which might seem boring to them. So, changing the way these activities happen inside a classroom that students might be interested in, can help them grab opportunity to work in a team and learn something that would improve their knowledge.Problem</~~span></span~~font>==

~~=== How PT can be interesting: ===~~Students are limited to their academic performance and courses

~~#~~= Instead of facuty, students from senior classes may be designated to lead the classes#Maximum strength of each peer teaching session must be limited to 20.Solution#At initial stages, group discussion with 4–5 students each group may be experiemented. This might help them to overcome their fear of public speaking at the initial stages.~~#To avoid monotony, different activites many planned from session to session.~~

~~=== Possible issues:<~~'''Awareness/~~span> ===<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">~~<li>As seniors are assigned as mentors to freshmen, they might not mingle in the team.</li>~~<li>Availability of senior students who can effectively lead the sessions might be a problem.</li><li>Students might not want to participate in a team all of a sudden.</li></ul>~~'''

~~==== Hope~~''' ~~of solving these issues ====~~Professional Speakers'''

Faculty members mentor seniors, helping them solve the issues with the freshmen. Seniors to be awarded credits for their commitment to peer teaching sessions. Feedback from the members of a team lead by that senior, may fetch him/her credits. This puts senior students in their path as they help peers to participate in the activities.'''

~~=== I&E ecosystem via PT ===~~not because of a high GPA”

==== Student Collaboration  ====*“What does it take?”

~~In these~~ Recruitment sessions, students meet their fellows more personally. They talk to each other, and we believe that this is the initial stage of innovative mindset, such ecosystem can be developed across the campus. This helps students to understand the resources on campus.…

~~==== Grabbing every opportunity ====~~'''Workshops'''

Participating in a team activity develops thought process that helps a student to know what interests him/her. Thus, they come to know what all opportunities they have at the moment. With the help of their team lead or the assigned senior, they can connect to the right way to grab an opportunity.'''

~~==== Connecting~~ *“How to ~~campus resources ====~~think outside the box in my major?”

By collaborating with seniors and thereby faculty, students will get to know resources that the college has to offer them. Knowing the availability of resources, students will think of using them for their own growth leading to innovation & entrepreneurship.*“Ideation”

*“How to do a Business Plan”

'''Presentations from USJ and Berytech (or some Investors and Accelerator Programs)'''

~~= Youtube Video Link =~~*“How can USJ help you to get ready for initiating your start-up” - USJ

*“What do we want from students to help them with their start-ups” - Berytech *“What you should have/know to start your new company” – Berytech *Cocktail buffet, drinks, and music included = Project 4: Innovative Coffee Machine  = == Problem == Students at SJU want some self-development courses in order to succeed in life and become changemakers of tomorrow. ==Solution == After checking the window of availability of most students altogether, we found the common time where they all meet is at the lunch break. From here, we got the idea of Innovative Coffee Machine. This project isn’t about a coffee machine that instead of coffee serves innovation, but instead of wasting their time students talking about random non-necessary topics, the Coffee Machine will help them start a discussion without them knowing. == Concept == #Where is it? The Innovative Coffee Machine has not only one house but it’s going to have many houses on each campus. #When is it? The Innovative Coffee Machine will randomly be transported all over the campuses at a pace of 2 times a month for multiple campuses. #What is it? The Innovative Coffee Machine is a regular coffee machine that serves regular coffee for free. But what is special in this coffee machine is: *Prototype 1: Key Speaker – A person sharing giving a workshop about certain topics*Prototype 2: A whiteboard is written on it a topic that uses great marketing technics to promote itself and let students discuss it and learn from each other’s experiences*Prototype (Idea – On - Paper) 3: The coffee machine talks to the students taking coffee using AI and suggest they talk about projects and topics that might be interesting and will help them develop their personal skills. = Project Video: = This is the link to the youtube video for our project.
