Students often lack time due to a tight schedule so that they have less time for activities that foster the university community. Often extrinsic motivations e.g. credits or bonus points improving the grade are motivators for students to enter an unknown environment. In our interviews we realized that the buzzwords "innovation" and "entrepreneurship" are ridiculed by some students focusing on technical studies. Taking the plunge into the unknown (projects focussing on innovative/entrepreneurial procedures) has to be supported bonus points or/and credits in the beginning.   The idea has derived from the thought to offer a non-technical course (called NTA) enabling students to work on the projects students are interested in.

Furthermore, the final idea considers the inclusion of institutes and course content. A network of insitutional staff and administration supports the students by assisting them. Further students participating related courses get bonus points to take pressure from the students participating actively in the course.    The final idea is a bonus systemmixture of a course in which students can work on topics that students priorize and
