  • Demola Project

    Demola (https://www.demola.net/) project work is a project course organized in collaboration with various industrial and academic partners. The project enables students to work in strategic foresight projects in multi-disciplinary teams. The project lasts roughly for two months and is organized according to a schedule, which is different from the Aalto periodic structure. The project involves foresight work, problem framing, concept development, demo building, and end-user validation. The course contributes to learning work-life skills as well as supports students to network with potential future partners / employers.

    The course is an option for ELEC graduate students who already have a good competence in their major.

    Evaluation: Pass/Fail 

    Applications: You need to apply through the Demola website (https://www.demola.net/) and get accepted before enrolling to the course in Oodi.
