    The course consists of online lectures, a learning diary, as well as online group project work on challenges given by companies and other organizations. The course is taught in English and is held fully online. We will publish course schedule one week before course

    Even though some of the lectures are mandatory, attendance at the time they are streamed is not. The lectures are recorded and they can be revisited at a later time. Additional lectures are for you to deepen your knowledge in a specific subject, according to ones interests. These can be highly beneficial for solving the challenge and we encourage you to take part in them if possible.

    As the lectures will be recorded, please take that into account when attending the lectures. The chat won’t be recorded, so if you don’t want to be seen or heard in the recording, ask questions via the chat. Lectures and lecture slides can be found under the “Materials” section. Details about the learning diary can be found under the “Learning Diary” section and details about the project work can be found under the  “Project Work” section.

    Under the section "Q & A", you can find a form via which you can send questions to the experts. The answers will then also be collected to the same section.

    In order to stay up-to-date about everything, please follow the “Announcements” channel in MyCourses. If any questions arise, we advise you to read through the MyCourses once again. If you are still left with questions, please send them to lauri.hollo@aalto.fi or oliver.sohlberg@aalto.fi .

    In this course, there are three ways of getting credits. You will be rewarded with 2, 4 or 6cr depending on which tasks you complete. The tasks are quizzes, project work and a learning diary.  For example you can do quizzes and project work and will be rewarded with 4cr.
