Participating in the workshops, the participants get to experience what does working in the field of technology mean .
When registering for the event, each participant chooses one or two workshops they want to participate in (Aalto University) or the three they prefer, which they would primarily like to participate in (LUT and Oulu University).
Using the menu, you can read the descriptions of either all the workshops or the ones organized at a specific university.
Below, all the available workshops.
Topic: Mechanical engineering
In the workshop, you can get to know 3D-CAD product design in the context of creating assemblies and create photorealistic product images of your assembly (e.g. for advertising use). There is also the possibility to model individual parts.
Topic: Electronics construction and programming
What can be achieved when you creatively combine design, electronic components and an Arduino microcontroller?
Topic: Farmaceutical chemistry
In the workshop,you will familiarize with medical chemistry and make aspirin.
Topic: Neuroscience and medical technology
In our workshop, you can get to know Aalto University's brain research laboratories, and also measure yourself the function of the brain, nervous system and heart.
Topic: Chemistry and arts
Come and discover hands-on recipes with wood-based materials! yourself the function of the brain, nervous system and heart.
Topic: Energy conversion
How can we ensure that we will have clean energy available for the future?
Topic: Chemistry
DipWrap is a sustainable alternative to plastic shrink wrap used to protect grocery store products.
Topic: design your future
Where to start, if you feel you have no idea what you want to do? Be curious and start exploring opportunities!
Topic: Electrical engineering and automation
In the workshop, we will familiarize ourselves through practical demonstrations with the measurement of electrical signals generated by the heart and muscle activity, sensations produced with electrical currents, and how these phenomena can be modeled using computer simulations.
Topic: Audio signal processing and virtual acoustics
In the acoustics workshop, you will get to familiar with Aalto's acoustics laboratory in three phases:
Topic: Statistics
We will together analyze temperature data from one small Finnish village (Anjala).
Topic: Service design
Come and explore how people are taken into consideration when designing digital health applications.
Topic: Production economics
How fast can you produce LEGO cars?
Topic: Basic programming and building interactive art
In this workshop, participants will build their own interactive plant.
Topic: Supercomputers and magnetism
In this workshop you will build a prototype of a cosmic magnet
Topic: Recycling, metallurgy and sustainability
In the workshop, we disassemble a mobile phone and learn about the metals it contains and their recycling possibilities.
Topic: Marine and Arctic technology
The workshop focuses on the sustainability development goal of our maritime ecosystem.
Topic: Physics
You will enter a virtual laboratory and use computer models to build and manipulate molecules
Topic: textiles and sustainability
In this workshop, we will show you how we turned a tree into a gala dress.
Topic: Materials science
In this workshop, you will fimiliarise with substances often studied in materials science: hydrogels and liquid crystals, and determine their properties using visible light.
The workshops at Aalto University are filled up on a first-come, first-serve basis. As an alternative to the second workshop, you can choose to register to the demo session. Read more about the demo session here.
Klo 13:00-14:30: Workshop 1
