Through the NSF Innovation Corps for Learning Program (I-Corps L), this project will develop ways to increase the scale and impact of University Innovation Fellows (UIF) program at Stanford University. In higher education, there is widespread interest in developing ways to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need to solve complex problems of the 21st century. The University Innovation Fellows program prepares and empowers university students to make lasting changes at their schools to address this issue. Through UIF, student leaders collaborate with faculty and administrators to promote and embed innovation, entrepreneurship and design thinking to enhance the educational experience of all students. While there is no single prescription for which strategies and activities will be effective in higher education, each institution can develop context-appropriate strategies based on understanding best practices, information about what has worked and not worked in similar institutions, and innovative thinking. The University Innovation Fellows (UIF) program offers faculty a way to activate selected students to work alongside them in expanding the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem on campus. The program combines online experiential training with in-person gatherings in Silicon Valley. In the training, university students evaluate the landscape of learning opportunities and resources at their schools, and design a strategic plan to transform and enrich that landscape, by leveraging experiential learning techniques. Students who successfully complete the training (and become Fellows) are motivated and prepared to work alongside faculty as change agents. This program will provide year-round support for the Fellows via webinars and networking tools that allow students to share strategies across institutions.

通过NSF创新团队学习计划（I-Corps L），该项目将开发方法来增加斯坦福大学大学创新研究员（UIF）计划的规模和影响。在高等教育中，人们普遍关心如何为学生提供解决21世纪世纪复杂问题所需的知识、技能和态度。大学创新研究员计划准备并授权大学生在他们的学校进行持久的改变，以解决这个问题。通过UIF，学生领袖与教师和管理人员合作，促进和嵌入创新，创业和设计思维，以提高所有学生的教育体验。虽然没有单一的处方，哪些战略和活动将是有效的高等教育，每个机构可以制定适当的战略的基础上了解最佳做法，关于什么工作和不工作在类似机构的信息，创新思维。大学创新研究员（UIF）计划为教师提供了一种方式，激励选定的学生与他们一起工作，扩大校园创新和创业生态系统。该计划将在线体验式培训与硅谷的面对面聚会相结合。在培训中，大学生评估他们学校的学习机会和资源的前景，并设计一个战略计划，通过利用体验式学习技术来改变和丰富这一前景。成功完成培训（并成为研究员）的学生有动力并准备与教师一起工作，作为变革推动者。该计划将通过网络研讨会和网络工具为研究员提供全年支持，使学生能够在各机构之间分享战略。
