Through collaboration that is dynamic, active, and fun, these events aim to generate new interests, raise awareness and energize participants to cross-pollinate ideas. The focus of the January 2014 Design Tent was to re-think our perception of garbage and use materials from local waste streams to design and build prototypes to test entrepreneurial ideas. The value of waste was repurposed into both a process and product that brought together (STEAM) students and exposed them to the innovation process through iterative making and fabrication. &nbsp; Team Leader(s): *Valerie Sherry and Natalya Dikanov with the help of mDIL and Linear Gallery members Open Positions: *Contact design.impact.lab@gmail.com if interested in helping to sponsor, coordinate or participate in next Design tent event! Milestones: *The first Design Tent event was co-hosted by [mDIL] Maryland Design Impact Lab and the Linear Gallery*The event was held as a two-day workshop January 22-23, 2014*Visiting Professionals and Facilitators included International firm,&nbsp;[http://refunc.nl/ REFUNC]&nbsp;and local firm&nbsp;[http://salvagingcreativity.com/ Salvaging Creativity]*Participants included: 50+ students*Disciplines involved: Over 16 different disciplines*A tremendous thank you to our Event Sponsors: Academy of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Maryland School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, the Architecture Department, The Kibel Gallery*A stopmotion video of University some of the event work can be seen at the following link:*This first Design Tent and REFUNC Workshop was also featured in a student curated Linear Gallery exhibition called&nbsp;''Transforming Waste''*''​''Upcoming Events:*<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34)">Next Design Tent will be co hosted by the [mDIL] MarylandDesign Impact Lab, Rawlings Undergraduate Leadership Program and Books Breaking Borders Innovation Team.&nbsp;</span>*<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, College Park Campus Ecosystem 34)">I</span>'''NTERDISCIPLINARY PLAY THROUGH MAKING.''''''​''' {| style="width: 500px" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"|-| About Passion, Not Start ups| <p span style="textcolor:#ff0000"><u>'''Yes'''</u></span>| No|-| Accessible to All| <u style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">'''Yes'''</u>| No|-| Sexy| Yes| <u style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">'''No'''</u>|-| Real World| <u style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">'''Yes'''</u>| No|-align| Student Driven| <u style="color: centerrgb(255, 0, 0)">{{#Widget'''Yes'''</u>| No|-| Relevant and Important to students| <u style="color:Prezisrgb(255, 0, 0)">'''Yes'''</u>|idNo|-| Fun| <u style=73onxecjg6mk}}"color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">'''Yes'''</u>| No<br/p>|}

This program *Program leverages existing resources and spaces and would , provide assistance for finding or making physical space for new startups. *Students would be able to search through an online platform and mobile app that connects individual students and student groups with available immediate, temporary, short and long-term spaces. The program and *Program task team would have documented a document network of spaces on campus and their availability, which could be seen through a *Interface: map interface on the system. If no space exists, students can contact mDIL (Maryland Design Impact Lab) and request a task team to design a temporary flex-space. This method would thereby provide a need and direction for students looking for innovation space that may not be part of an existing start up, or part of the Engineering or business school. In addition, this service will also give mDIL interdisciplinary design teams the opportunity to practice applying their developing ideation, fabrication and implementation skillsets to address a need.</span>*'''Team Leader: ''' Open Position – Team Leader TBD*'''Milestones:'''
