8. Teekkari Tradition Week between the 3rd and 11th of November

 

The Teekkari Tradition Week, held at the beginning of November, is full of numerous exciting events. Teekkarius turns 145 years old this year, and we will celebrate it for the whole week between the 3rd and 11th of November. A great deal of familiar events are held during the week, but there are also a lot of new and fun activities.

During the week, you can, for example, dive deep into history at the Traditions Evening held at the Wanha Poli, come up with new lyrics for songs and sing them at the Song Contest sitsit, and solve mysteries in an international manner at the Mystery Dinner! You can find all the events of the week at www.teekkarius145.ayy.com. See you at the Teekkari Tradition Week!

 

9. Traditions Evening at the Wanha Poli on the 3rd of November, 17:00

 

The Poli is an essential part of teekkari history, having housed many memorable events under its roof. That’s why there’s no better place to start the Teekkari Tradition Week. On Friday, the 3rd of November, the Wanha Poli will be filled with alumni reminiscing their days at the old Poli, accompanied by songs and a festive atmosphere of the Traditions Evening. Come and get acquainted with history or reminisce your own studying days!

The doors open at 17:00, and you are advised to be there on time, because the story rounds start at 17:30. In addition to stories, we will sing through all the songs in the Red Songbook. There will also be short orienteering and quiz tasks to further enliven the evening. The event ends at 21:00.

10. Club Night of Mysteries at Smökki on the 6th of November

 

It’s the time of year when Otaniemi’s most stylish people and smoothest savoir-vivre come together at Servin Mökki’s jazz club. Dressed in their sophisticated cocktail outfits, they’ll be sipping fabulous drinks, relaxing at the outdoors cigar lounge and feeling pleasantly superior to lesser peasants.

Suddenly a chilling scream resounds through the room! The first guests had barely arrived when the club’s long-time investor and renowned society fellow drops dead on the floor. Next to the body, a neatly written message, “Tonight’s last will be danced many times yet”. Only a bloody stain is left as a reminder of what happened – but what, indeed, did happen?

The first guests are in a state of shock (and of course not allowed to leave during the murder investigation), and the Halloween decorations of nooses, a mysteriously bloody candlestick, and let alone the pistol hidden in Mx. Glitter’s evening bag, are doing nothing to relieve the tension. But who did it? Come find out and help solve the murder!

Tickets to this tragedy’s opening night are only 6€. The first cocktails of the evening are on the house, as an apology for this tragic incident. Ticket sales will be in the Otakaari 1 lobby from the 30th of October to the 3rd of November between 11 and 13 o’clock.

The bloody details in a nutshell:

It will be an adventure through time that will take you all the way back to 1872 when Teekkarius was born. You will have to work together with your table whilst enjoying a delicious three course meal and solve all the puzzles and obstacles to figure out the mystery of the evening.

To solve the mystery, you will have to embrace all aspects of Teekkari culture – so come along to sing, eat and solve clues, whilst enjoying this very Teekkari plot!

The evening will begin with a cocktail event at Polyteekkari museum (JÀmerÀntaival 3 A) at 17:45. Afterwards we will continue to Servin Mökki (JÀmerÀntaival 4) to solve the mystery.

12. Aaltositsit – A Better Tomorrow

 

Did you know that 25–30% of the all world’s food ends up in the garbage? Some of the food is left on the ground, some is wasted on the way, and some is left unsold at stores or restaurants. At the autumn’s Aaltositsit, the organizers have tried to decrease the amount of food waste by purchasing the ingredients for the sitsit mainly from Finnish online shops that sell clearance and discontinued products.

That is why on Thursday, the 23rd of November, Aava, KUVA and the Teekkari Section invite all Aalto people regardless of their line of study or starting year to enjoy a three-course dinner made from surplus food, as well as dazzling performances and new cross-disciplinary acquaintances. We want to give the participants the chance to experience the characteristics typical to Aalto’s different sitsi cultures and to get to know to new Aalto people outside one’s own field of study.

The sign-up for the sitsit opens on Monday, the 6th November at 12:00 at www.bailataan.fi. The number of seats is limited

What? Aaltositsit – A Better Tomorrow
When? 23rd of November 2017, cocktail event from 18:15 onwards and dinner party from 19:00 onwards
Where? Servin mökki, JÀmerÀntaival 4, 02150 Espoo
Price: 15€
Dress code: Smart casual philanthropist <3
Why? Because together we can make the world a better place, one sitsit at a time 🙂

19. PRK’s radio amateur course

 

Have you ever wanted to know more about electronics and radio technology? Would you like to get to know to people living on the other side of the globe through a direct voice connection without the internet, or take part in competitions with the goal of making contact with as many stations as possible using speech, Morse code or digital transmissions? Or would you rather try out various technical experiments with software radios or wireless data transfer, for example?

Completing a radio amateur degree allows you to do all this and gives you a good starting point for your radio amateur activities. PRK (Polyteknikkojen Radiokerho) is organizing a radio amateur course starting on the 31st of October at 18:00-21:00 at Ossinkulma (Otakaari 18A). The course lasts four weeks and ends with an exam.  Electrical physics learned in high school are more than enough to get started at the course, but even that is not necessary. All newcomers regardless of their background are welcome!

The course is free of charge for members of AYY and PRK, and it costs 10€ for others. You can complete a radio amateur degree at the end of the course if you want to. The Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority charges a total of 97.8€ for the degree (exam 36€, certificate of qualification 43.75€, station license 18.14€ per year). By signing up for the course, you are not obliged to complete the degree, but you can decide to do so later. Registration for the course and course information channel:

Long gone are the days when design was simply a way to make things pretty and more attractive to buy. Today, design making and thinking has found its way into almost every corner of society. Products of all shapes and sizes are still being designed, but so are services, businesses, data, systems, politics, education, and futures.

Join us for the Design Now! seminar on Thu, November 2, 2017 at 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

The seminar will be held in English and is free to attend.

28. Aalto Studios Hackathon

 

Aalto Studios is the media center of the future. It goes live in 2020 at the heart of the Otaniemi campus.

But how do we make sure it’s not just another building? Can we turn it into a space where you’d like to hang out, play video games, have barbecues, shoot and watch movies regardless if you have overalls or not?

On October 31st, we invite you to hack into the black box of Aalto Studios and come up with new ways of using it: as a community space, a shared resource, a playground of new technologies or a place where you can experiment and go all the way pro into film, media, VR, sound design and other exciting stuff.

Register at https://studios.aalto.fi/hackathon and build Aalto Studios together with us.

 

29. StartupCrawl on the 1st of November

 

Do you like excursions? What about appros? Yes? Of course?

Wouldn’t you say it’s time to combine these two excellent things?

We think it is. That’s why we’re organizing an event, one that was held also last spring and in the previous years: STARTUP CRAWL!

Startup Crawl returns bigger and better than ever. This year, you can choose from four different themes. Each theme includes a visit to four companies, and an afterparty for everyone.

 

In the Startup Crawl, you will travel around the downtown Helsinki and visit different companies. The companies provide groups with drinks, food, company and information about their activities. This is a great opportunity to network with the hottest operators in various fields.

This year’s themes:

HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE / TECH AND DESIGN / SUSTAINABILITY /GAMING

As per tradition, the legendary StartupCrawl afterparty is held at Smartly’s office, in downtown Helsinki.

The tickets cost 5€, and the price includes the Crawl itself, an overall badge and a whole bunch of good memories from the Crawl. Tickets are limited, so hurry up! The event has always sold out.

More information on the event can be found on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1725759544396927/
