Changes

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Group studies have always bee preferred for peer to peer learning. As on campus change agents, it would be our priority to change the way peer to peer studying works. So in order to make it more productive and interactive, knowledgeable and to change the traditional studying method on campus, we plan to build a mentorship forum application. The application will be exclusively utilized to connect a mentor student and a mentee. The application would provide the opportunity for students to register as a mentor or a mentee, and start an exercise of mutual learning. The platform would fill the void of ranged academic assistance for the student and can connect the mentee to the mentor of his/her choice. The app provides various features like notes sharing, querying and answering questions. Also updates that the student mentor wants to convey can be done through this application. The students can request for mentorship through this forum from their desired choice list provided.</span></span><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">TACTIC 1:Motivate senior students of the college to take up mentorship.</span></span><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">TACTIC 2:Encourage students to go for mentorship forum to get connected to their mentors or mentees on the forum.</span></span><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">TACTIC 3: Host frequent one to one sessions for mentors and mentees.</span></span><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">TACTIC 4:Set up a periodic feedback mechanism and make changes for better learning experience between mentor and mentee.</span></span><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">TACTIC 5:Encourage the mentees to take up mentorship once they find progress in their academics, so that the learning process never stops.</span></span><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">TACTIC 6:Provide&nbsp; a provision in the app for the faculty members to review the progress. &nbsp;</span></span><br/></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br/></div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the most important quality in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship is creative thinking. “Think out of the box” is what everybody says, but practically only a few apply it.&nbsp; Problem solving and critical thinking have been a major criterion in the present years. Having a fresh perspective to one challenge is always a benefit.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To come up with non-obvious, non-orthodox solutions is what people will require in the coming time. So, to prepare the students to create numerous solutions for coming challenges, creative thinking has to be inculcated.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">#Tactic 1: Implementing “creative thinking” as a minor subject with credits.<br/><br/>#Tactic 2: Having activities like “The marshmallow challenge” in every session, which will promote team work and other skills.<br/><br/>#Tactic 3: Identifying problems in the camps and finding solutions by creative thinking methods and practically implementing the best ones.<br/>Advantage: Having numerous solutions to one given problem.<br/><br/>#Tactic 4: Inviting alumni placed in reputed companies to share the importance of creative thinking in corporate companies.<br/>&nbsp;<br/>#Tactic 5: Having brainstorming sessions on weekly basis to discuss on the burning topics in innovation and entrepreneurship and finding solutions in a creative manner.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style  ===="text-align: justify;"</p><p span style="textfont-alignsize: justifylarger;">'''Strategy #9: Creating a student community that spans across branches to promote flow of ideas - Sanjana Baliga'''</pspan>====<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There is a burning need for a platform where students can meet and interact with each other. There are students eager to learn new things and there are also students eager to teach what they know to others. There are a few student clubs on campus that exist, but are not functional. We need to revive these clubs so that they can start organising competitions and workshops for students. Apart from this, we need to identify students from every branch who have good knowledge about their field and can teach other students. They will form the core team of the community. Then we can organise meetups for interested students on selected topics every weekend (say, Saturdays) where students can meet and discuss concepts and ideas. This will lead to greater interaction between students, and creating a conducive environment for innovation. Under this community, we can also have a group of students who work on larger, long-term projects that will help the college. Currently, we rely on third-parties for several software solutions. These groups focused on projects can elect a faculty member who can guide them. To ensure greater participation of students, we will require bus facilities on the weekends. Also, having a space where such sessions can be conducted is essential. Teams involved in cultural activities like art, drama and music can also be involved in this community and have events for students who may want to learn from them.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic #1: Talk to heads of existing clubs, see what kind of activities they can organise and find out how they can help - October end</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic #2: Find out the exceptional students from each branch who can lead the student community - October end</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic #3: Organise an informal meetup - a mock session of what is to come.
