Our team is working on a PDP project for Beneq. We came up with 200 different ideas and chose the three best ones to work with.
Manuel Fonseca Martinez
A Space feels like an embassy of art & design in Otaniemi. We wanted to turn this space in an old shopping mall into a meeting point of design, business and engineering.
Dagur Ingi Ã’lafsson
During the PDP course, we have been working for WineMill to solve how people can enjoy more wine but less alcohol. We have built a prototype that can reduce the amount of alcohol in wine.

In planning a successful design it is essential that the designer can examine the product or service he or she has designed, or the individual decisions related to it, from the perspective of other people. This kind of design thinking would be welcome in Finnish decision making too.
Antti Pitkäoja
We at the Guild of Mechanical Engineering drive the Tela-Vera. The Vera's best feature is perhaps the grill that we designed from an extra fuel tank and attached to it.
Nicholas Stevens
The party season kicks off in spring. Tomorrow, we are setting off on a May Day excursion, which will include sitsfests in Tampere, Vaasa and Oulu.
Ava Grayson
As a part of my thesis I created this interactive soundscape that matches perfectly to yoga practice. It combines the physical aspect of yoga and the listening experience with a soundscape.
Amanda Hakoköngäs
Recently I was enthralled about how the structure of a blade of grass is really fragile and easy to break. But still it does not break in high winds.
Anssi Grekula
Last spring I took one of the best courses I have had during my studies. After the course, our group’s mentor offered me a work placement with Fjord. Now I am doing my thesis on craftsman methods in service design.
Elizaveta Shishova
Our study group pitched an idea for Länsimetro, that turns people’s every day transportation into an art experience. EMMA, Espoo Museum of Modern Art, was really interested in our idea
Miikka Junnila
When attention is not on making progress, it is easier to be calm and stop to enjoy the surroundings. It is great that this kind of thinking is found to an increasing extent in the world of games too where completely new genres of games are being created.
Siiri Kihlstöm
After a conversation with a friend, I felt a strong urge to organise an ‘equality pride’ directed towards young people. The primary message of the event would be to say without value-charged terms that we are all equal.
Niek Pulles
I just got really good news! I will start working at Nike’s innovation lab in Portland, Oregon. After five years of freelancing, it feels good to have a new challenge in a cooperative environment.
Pauliina Ilmonen
The thing I get most excited about is positive definite matrices. If mathematics is not a familiar field, you can imagine a game. We recently achieved a major victory when we were able to use our ‘game’ to get a new sentence approved into the multidimensional extreme value theory.
Elias Veijola
I have been very happy in Otaniemi. When I first moved here from Oulu I was pleased that the surroundings offered a lot of nature. In the summer, I found cows in a nearby meadow.
Sep DiMeglio
We are taking part in Aalto University’s Product Development Project course (PdP). Our group wants to raise awareness for how much energy people are using.
Tolya Chernyakov
Our startup Uploadcare handles uploading, storing and processing files for our customer. It feels fantastic to be here at Startup Sauna. These guys have offered us not only working spaces but also a great network.
Pirjo Kääriäinen
I have recently been interested in the opportunities afforded by synthetic biology. By creating a form for some technological innovation, we give better possibilities for discussion concerning the innovation.
Antti Ikonen
Last autumn, I participated in organising a course on electronic art, during which students of technology and art had no problems in finding common ground. A thorough plan paid itself back as the course succeeded seamlessly.
