    • Session 12: Teamwork Principles by Jari Ylitalo and Satu Rekonen 

      Zoom Link: https://aalto.zoom.us/j/63065077503

      Format: At least two breakout room discussions: 

      All students are encouraged to find a quiet space to have this session. We will ask you to have your cameras on during breakout room discussion and if you can leave them on for most of the lecture that will be amazing. Since there will be several discussions, we would insist that you should find a spot that is quiet and not in a public, crowded and noisy space. 

      Daily dose of info: The Five Principles of Effectuation 

    • Session 13: Coaching / Lab 1

      Zoom Link: https://aalto.zoom.us/j/69043586408

      Daily dose of info: Six Thinking Hats – De Bono Group


      Each team will have 30 to 45 minutes coaching session with the educators / instructors. Teams will make decisions with the assistance of coaches on their project direction. Coaches will facilitate discussion while help teams to set up tasks to meet their goal for the first review, mid-review and Demo Day. 

      Coaches will be expecting students to provide their opinions and ideas on these four topics: 

      • What is the problem? 
      • Who have this problem? 
      • How is/are the customer(s) solving this problem right now? 
      • How would the students plan to solve this problem? 

      All team members are required to be present. Since this will be a discussion focus session, we encourage all students to find a quiet spot for this 30-40 minutes coaching session. Each team is also expected to have their Entrepreneurial Outline ready, for this particular session due to the online nature, you can have it in a digital format. Coaches will aim towards helping the teams to realize what they can do realistically during this course and how to get there, and the teams will aim to have a better direction after the coaching session.

    • Session 14: First Review

      Each team will present in their problem in 1 minute. You will receive quick feedback from teachers and our guest lecturer, Marco Mäkinen. Similarly to the coaching session, we will also focus on your problem via these 4 questions:

      • What is the problem the team is trying to solve?
      • How did you validate the problem?
      • What are the current conventions related to the problem?
      • How do you plan to break the conventions?
      If you have already built and tested your first prototype, please bring it to the first review for feedback. Your outline canvas should be filled to completion despite things are still ambiguous, it will help us to see what vision the team is having for the problem. You should fill the prototype canvas as you go so if you have already started to build, time to journal.
