Health Data Walk: A joint workshop of AI Hub and Health Hub Tampere

It was the week of Vappu, 2022. AI Hub and Health Hub Tampere organized a joint workshop: Health Data Walk, to discuss the secondary use of health data together with the local companies. The workshop consisted of both indoor and outdoor sessions. To provide flexible methods of participation, the indoor session adopted the hybrid model by holding live attendance on the Health Hub premises and online Zoom meetings simultaneously.

What on the earth is happening? It's a cultural show!

Something extraordinary was happening in Hervanta campus, Tietotalo on 23.3. and 24.3. Some students had painted their faces according to Día de Muertos, we could see some paper theater, and experience colorful stories from different cultures. This is Cross-Cultural Design course, and it's the mid checkpoint for the students' projects. We decided to do it in a creative and innovative way this time, to celebrate to be back at the campus again!

Welcome to Robostudio!

We have opened a brand new Robostudio in TAU Hervanta campus. Robostudio is a multidisciplinary co-learning space to work with lovely social robots. It is dedicated for educational purposes and the activity is strongly connected to research as well. User Experience in Robotics course runs in this space, as well as social robotics-related thesis projects. We are also running other kinds of co-learning events and workshops where we invite for example school pupils to learn with us.
