Movie night in the morning - Digital Storytelling in Psychology course

Already for several years, we have had a Digital Storytelling task in Psychology in Human-Technology Interaction course at Tampere University, Computing Sciences. The teacher of the course also calls this thing as "movie night", because these digital stories made by the course students are enjoyed in small teams during the final event of the course. Please have your popcorn ready and enjoy some of the movies! It does not matter if it's morning (as it was for us), evening, or night.

A Summer Journey at AI Hub: From Brain Rides to Co-Design Workshops

This summer, Veronika and Mina had the incredible opportunity to work as research assistants the Tampere University’s AI Hub, where innovation and creativity thrive. We embarked on a unique journey, inventing what we called "Brain Rides" - a novel approach to brainstorming that involved holding meetings while riding bikes or scooters. This unconventional method not only invigorated our minds but also paved the way for a wealth of fresh, innovative ideas. This method helped us stay fresh when the energy levels fell down.

”Every course should be like this” – summer school in Data-Enabled Design in collaboration with Särkänniemi offered unique learning opportunities (and fun rides)

Students in Human-Technology Interaction at Tampere University had a chance to dive deep into a new design methodology called Data-Enabled Design while enjoying the fun atmosphere at Särkänniemi amusement park. A thrilling start for the new semester was made possible in the summer school co-organized by Tampere University and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Stakeholders at Särkänniemi, including their CEO Miikka Seppälä, provided exciting practical challenges and future visions for students to work on. On Friday 25th of August, the course had its grande finale when students presented their ideas to Särkänniemi staff at the planetarium.
