Chapter 1 Introduction As students finish up their degrees in college some may begin their careers in the workforce. Requirements for jobs will ask you to have a few years of experience in the field to be qualified for a certain position. My experience with finding an internship has not been a positive experience. For the internship some companies require at least some experience for to be qualified.
Problem and Purpose Problem
The I&E Fellows Program is looking for a way to connect students to startups. SFSU Students looking for jobs or internships don't have enough work experience in the field and need a way to strengthen their skills. These students also need a way to connect to startup for short term project. Some early stage startups will need to hire worked for smaller projects instead of full time.
Purpose
The purpose of the research is to find a method that intends to connect San Francisco State University students majoring in STEM fields with early stage startups so the student can acquire work experience and so the early stage startups can utilize students who want to work on a project for a short period of time.

Parameters of the Problem My research focuses on ďŹ nding a method of connecting students to startups/small businesses to gain more experience in STEM ďŹ elds. Startups will utilize this app if they have a small budget and are looking for low cost work. Through discussions with SFSU students in STEM majors, they may not know what skills they need to work on to gain the experience for their desired jobs. This causes a problem for students because they will become unprepared to join the workforce.
1.8 page 11
Parameters of the Design SFSU students in STEM majors and small budget startups will be the focus groups. This study intends to ďŹ nd solutions through a platform to connect SFSU students to startups to gain more experience in STEM ďŹ elds. The platform will be free for SFSU students to use. The platform will be easily accessible and informative for both users. The platform will be engaging and easy to use.
1.9 page 12
Hypothesis Hypothesis 1
If there is a platform that can help connect students to small businesses then there will be a positive benefit for both parties.
Hypothesis 2
If Students work on skills in STEM fields, they will be able to gain better work experience .

Observational Study The Observational study was done at San Francisco State University, Small business, and Startups. Research was done by surveying students, Looking at how many students are in STEM majors  and then narrowing down this research into two categories; computer science and engineering. Interviews were taken from students in STEM majors and how they go about ďŹ nding internships, gaining experience in their ďŹ eld, and how they strengthen their skills in their major. Storytelling and personal experiences became a driver and inspiration to the observational study. Through storytelling and interviews, we found out that many students had a problem with identifying their skills they needed for their majors, how to strengthen them, and make connections with people to gain more experience.
2.4 page 18
Comparative Study The source that was found for a comparative analysis of the study for SFSU student was that of the site called Handshake. Handshake is network for college student and recent grads can connect with recruiters and career centers. There are limitations that handshake has to oer. Some students don't know what they need to work on for certain level of skills. This will directly connect the student to a startup to direct message them, and bridge the gap. Wizjob intends to connect students to small projects from early stage startups. This could be considered more like a contract position instead of interning.

Surveys Findings Students prefer using Desktops for looking and applying for jobs. Students think that experience outside of school is valuable. Most students use school recommended sites when searching for jobs. Most students dont think they had a competitive portfolio/resume and were not able to get their foot through the door.
PERT Chart This is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project.
2.11 page 25
Chapter 2 Conclusion The issue that SFSU students are having from the survey ďŹ ndings and interview is that they have a hard time getting their foot through the door. These students do not know what kind of skills they need to work on or have enough experience to strengthen those skills. These students also ďŹ nd it hard to connect to startups and small businesses.

Chapter 3 Introduction The research that was developed in the chapters 1 and 2 will help shape the final design solution in helping students connect with potential employers and build up their skills in STEM majors. The finalized solution will start from sketches, low fidelity wireframes, high fidelity wireframes, storytelling, user testing, and feedback.
3.2 page 27
Proposed Solution The Proposed solution will be an app, yers, and a landing page. The app will be prototyped and distributed to experts and to the I&E Fellows program for feedback and possible funding. The yers will be a placed around the school to gain awareness of the app and for students to download the app. The yer will include a QR code so students can scan the code for a link to download. The landing page will be a call to action for downloading the app. The landing page will have links to sign up for both students and employers.
3.3 page 28
Rationale The app intends to be a tool to help students connect with potential employers, gain feedback, strengthen and Identify their skills. The app is an easy to use platform since most students and employers own a phone. Flyers and landing page websites will be necessary so students can become aware of the platform. The landing page will be a call to action to download the app.
3.4 page 29
Inspiration The inspiration for the app has come from personal experience described by many students trying to gain more experience. The layout and design will be that of indeed, pinterest, Instagram, and handshake. The app was inspired to have some kind of  wizard or magic theme. The design of a wand for the logo implies that wizjob will be the service to help connect students to startups. The functionality of the app is inspired by Instagram, and Pinterest, Indeed, Task Rabbit, and Linkedin.

Expert Evaluation The platform was pitched to the Innovations and Entrepreneurship symposium to 5 panel of experts. Each panel of experts all had different expertise in different fields to give their evaluation of the product. The designer of Astro Studio, Brett Lovelady, said he would “use the app right now�, and gave positive feedback for the platform. Some feedback that we received from the panel of experts was how we are different from handshake. We are different because we are working on small projects with the company rather than full time, part time, or internships. This would be more identical to a small contract job.

Further Development The co-founder for Wizjob still wants to pursue the platform and pitch the idea to more Venture Capitalists. After receiving positive feedback from the panel of experts and a few meetings startups, the team will need to produce a beta version of the prototype for more evaluation. We have received some stipend funding for the project so we can use what we need for pre-production of the platform and continue with beta testing. There is a meeting in place for the near future with the CEO of Dribbble, Zack Onisko, for further feedback.
4.11 page 68
Project Evaluation This study focused on coming up with a design solution for the Innovations and Entrepreneurship fellows program at San Francisco State University. The solution involves coming up with a platform for the target users, SFSU students and early stage startups, to connect each user so that both parties can beneďŹ t. The project received mostly positive feedback from students and experts. The strengths for the project are that of the target market, Simple and intuitive platform, easily accessible, aids in connecting students to early stage startups, and provides a solution for students who are looking to build up their skills and experience.
Project Evaluation Continued Improvements to be made is more feedback from startups to gauge how they will utilize the platform and distributing the product so that both startups and students are aware of the product. Obstacles to overcome is to make revenue o the platform so that we can get Venture Capitalists to further fund the project and expand the growth of the platform. Another obstacles is beta testing the app on the app store so we can get more user feedback on the app.
