We recently invited 150 high school students to the Startup Sauna. Addressing the attending high schoolers crystallised to myself, too, just how much I’ve learned here, and what studying is really like.
Ville Leppälä
There are a lot of hackathons that result in little more than a pretty little presentation. For us here at Junction, however, of more significance than a set of slides is that ideas are, through action, transformed into actual concrete form.
Visa Parviainen
We assembled a team and acquired funding to realise Deftify, which originally started from my idea. The point of departure for our project differs from earlier works developed as part of the PDP course.
Tuomas Kyllönen
Our team developed a prototype automated tower crane for Trenox at the PDP course. Our crane enhances construction site safety.
Nelli Ahti
This is my first year at the School of Business. It is great that I’m surrounded by people who are motivated to study and interested in the same things as I am.
Lauri Paukkunen
For the PDP course, our group made a drone that can move indoors and even take the lift. In the near future, drones could be employed in a security and monitoring capacity, for example.
Säde Rinne
For me, Aalto has been a great place to study. The University has always offered interesting courses.
D'Angelo-D'Ontace Keyes
Do you read? Then Curiou is made just for you. It’s the digital book buddy our team has created during the PDP course.
Mayya Vetchinnikova & Slava Vetchinnikov
Dad’s team built a battery-powered light lifter for Konecranes that can very quickly and handily be ordered to lift all kinds of heavy objects by pushing a button on your mobile. I’m really proud of what my father and his friends have accomplished.
Jenni Inciarte Villaverde
I myself feel that crying is part of being human. I wound up painting a portrait of my husband titled Men don’t cry for our Thought = Humanity course.
Laura Remes
I want to live forever. Recently I’ve been following the stunning progress made in the field of robotic hands, for example.
Laura Meskanen-Kundu
The Sensual Mathematics course had our team designing and building a mathematical vine garden. Our mathematical garden rises to a height of almost six metres at the Finnish Science Centre Heureka.
Andreas Lindberg
An inspiring observation from the CHEMARTS courses has been how engineering and design students together familiarise themselves with biomaterials. I’m proud to have the opportunity to participate in the creation of a substrate, which enables Aalto to sprout inventions that are of significance to the environment.
Elisa Spigai
My starting point was in looking at how to communicate diversity. Working with the visual identity of Aalto Festival was a fun and inspiring way to learn and experiment with new things.
Aleksi Partanen
I’ve been a keen snowboarder ever since I was little, and this has taken me to races all over the world. I considered making this season my last, but competing once more started to feel more attractive after a short break.
Varvara Zhemchuzhnikova
As an artist I have tried to find different ways to visualise my own and other people’s migrant stories.
Pauli Kärnä
This laser-cut component is for a 3D human body scanner. As part of our coursework, we have also examined different opportunities for exploiting the device commercially.
Pavel Horak
I have just been joking with my friend about the huge difference between the student culture here and back home in the Czech Republic. Here people catch Pokemons on their mobile phones, while people back home catch matches with Tinder.
Suhyun Kim & Alex Ball
Finnish people always talk about light. At the gym here in Otaniemi, there’s even a room where people go to get more light during the winter.
Eija Ranta
In my research work, I’m interested in the relationship between otherness and humanity. For example, how do mycelium, bacteria or, say, trees experience life?
