Last day to apply to Dash! 16.9.
| Dash 2018 brings together 400 participants from different fields of design, business and technology to team up and solve real-life design problems for some of the most interesting companies in Finland. The intention is to spark ambition among aspiring visionaries and, more importantly, to provide an opportunity to learn and expand one’s ways of creative thinking, problem-solving and collaborating.
We believe that in order to solve problems, it’s crucial to have a proper design process, concrete methods for problem solving, time for research and refined expertise to validate the decision making. By combining all these it’s possible to solve any problem well and create value. Dash offers interesting challenges from top brands, a solid design process, a set of design methods and many experienced design mentors to help you to come up with great ideas, concepts and solutions. This event is for everyone interested in design thinking. And by everyone, we truly mean everyone – it doesn’t matter whether you are a student or in working life, whether you feel passionate about design, developing or startups, or whether you just find this event interesting and want to see how far your wings can take you.

II Pastime activities
World Cup of Academic Quidditch 15.9.
| World Cup of Academic Quidditch is here again! Aava organises the quidditch tournament on Saturday 15.9. at 1 pm at Silkkiniitty in Espoo.
16 fastest teams to sign in qualify for the tournament. Taking part is easy and doesn’t require earlier quidditch experience. Audience is also very welcome to this thrilling sport event. Come and witness the (almost) magical sport atmosphere ever! Info, registration and The Rules: huispaus.fi |
Human vs Zombies Otaniemi 19.-23.9.
| Welcome, stranger, to the mighty realms of Otaniemi, where the mortal races of dwarves, elves, orc and merfolk have traveled to provide a safe place for their peoples. The scouts tell of a land filled with promise, though they mention some nonsense of an unspeakable horror that lurks in the dark. But nevermind them, they surely just saw a bear and now cry wolf. We will be fine! Join one of the peoples and create a future in this land. Complete quests and gain glory! Also, don’t die. That would be extremely inconvenient for our cause.
Humans vs. Zombies is a moderated game of tag where zombie players try to spread the infection by tagging human players. Humans can in turn protect themselves by hiding, fleeing or fighting back (using socks or foam gun darts to ”stun” zombies). Exciting missions and quests will be available every day. Since teamwork is often the best strategy, players are guaranteed to meet new people. HvZ is created for campuses like Otaniemi, so we couldn’t have a better area for the game! Participation is completely free of charge. The organizers will provide the game scarf and special items for you. All you have to do is sign up, show up and play.
