The Ideenschmiede
The "Ideenschmiede" is a student platform, which promotes the exchange between interested parties in the field of innovation & entrepreneurship.
Die Ideenschmiede bietet Möglichkeiten sich außerhalb des Curriculums zu vernetzen und von den Erfahrungen Anderer im Bereich Innovation & Entrepreneurship zu lernen. Dadurch setzen wir uns mit wichtigen Fragestellungen bezüglich der persönlichen Weiterentwicklung und späterer Karrierewahl auseinander. Wir lernen reale Problemstellungen mit praxisbezogenen Methoden zu lösen. Wir denken unternehmerisch und betrachten eigene Ideen im Licht einer potentiellen Unternehmensgründung.
The emergence
We got the idea from the UIF program of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) at Stanford University. The UIF (University Innovation Fellows) program enables students to creatively solve problems and thus improve their studies at the university.
During the d.school training, we realized that...
Our goals
We want to network students so they can connect with people with the same interests and support each other through their experiences.
We want to create access to innovation and entrepreneurship and thus provide the knowledge and tools to creatively solve challenges and generate ideas.
We want to inspire to think outside the box and realize one's own ideas.
Our piers
A network of proactives, creatives and people with an affinity for start-ups, which also includes a student working group that covers all areas of the Ideenschmiede.
Educational content, workshops, talks and events on the topic of innovation and entrepreneurship at Hamburg University of Technology.
A (still virtual) co-working space, where solutions are creatively worked on based on Design Thinking and Lean Startup methods and new acquaintances are made.
