Changes

The Cooper Union is a rapidly -developing ecosystem for entrepreneureship entrepreneurship and innovation. The school is one of creators, something noticed and expanded upon by University Innovation Fellow Sharang Phadke. As an overview of the continuing plan for expanding this notion of creation on campus, the follwing six points will be the vision leading Cooper forward.

*There is potential for using a space across the street from Cooper as a Maker Space , due to a connection that with the new dean Dean of the Engineering School has

*No current space open to students for easy prototyping and creation; Labs labs are locked , and most students do not have access

*Would serve as a social hub beyond Frankie’s Kitchen , and would allow become a nurturing place for inter -school projects to have a nurturing place to begin

*<span class="s2">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; • Fewer credits , and less time , allocated to unnecessary Physics courses</span> *Eliminate connect Connect and professional development Professional Development courses, and replace them with an introduction An Introduction to creative thinking Creative Thinking and problem solvingProblem Solving.

== <span class="s2">4) Additional Courses in I&E , as well as Design</span> ==

**Last year’s senior gift to Cooper Union was money to start a new course, which may not have not been been used yet

*Intro to Design Thinking course as a potential alternative , due to analysis of Art and Architecture school’s hesitation surrounding art -for -profit. Design Thinking would likely draw a much more mixed and interactive crowd at Cooper.

*Create a more regular event for create@cooper that , which doesn't necessarily need a guest speaker or large overhead to hold.

*This will ensure an active set of members who are inclined to attend larger events , beyond just the organizers and leadership roles.leaders

*Current head of create@cooper , Sharang Phadke , had suggested that we do hold an event called 1000 pitches Pitches to get the school students thinking about inventions that they may have been considering making

*The event would last the duration of throughout the year , and culminate in a competition and award for the best pitches
