Summer is around the corner... and the season's last AskRisto + BaRisto combo is tomorrow (ie, AskRisto is the chat 10-11 and BaRisto is me brewing AeroPress coffee at Olkkari 11-12). Hope to see you online or offline! 💬☕️

Gofore is arranging a masters student excursion again especially for INF. If you’re not a msc student yet but you’re enthusiastic then I’m sure they welcome you as well. However, this excu is arranged by me & Gofore, and not an official Athene event. So kinda different twist 🙃 You are warmly welcome to Gofore's Helsinki office for a relaxed chat about digitalisation, consultant life and especially human-centered responsible AI.

Have a good weekend, everyone ☺️ I’m off the grid until Wednesday, so sorry for some pending messages i haven’t answered. Greeting from the Cairngorms 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Due my travels and helatorstai holiday, the next AskRisto, BaRisto and office hours are on May 16th. Take care and enjoy the post-wappu vibes 😊

FYI: no office hourse, BaRisto or AskRisto tomorrow as I'm cycling the muddy gravel roads of Repovesi 🚴‍♂️ Office hours & BaRisto again next Thu 25th.

Super thanks to all in Olkkari for being so welcome & warm to the 2 lukio-shadowers I had with me today 🙏 And giga thanks to the 5 students who joined us for lunch and made it so much fun, useful and social. I'm still so amazed and lucky to have so many amazing and great students to help me in my job 😊️️

FYI: BaRisto, i.e., me brewing coffee ☕️ at Olkkari is not today but tomorrow 11-12. I have 2x highschoolers (lukiolainen) shadowing 🕶 me in the morning, so come and chat with them or play Switch or ask them to do your homework etc.

...or actually it is NOW open for registration. (thanks Siiri for pointing out the late date)

Ping! Gender & Tech is now open is Sisu for registration!

The past 25 years of all applicants.

Here's the updated graph on application data for our BSc programme. Steady growth in all applicants, and interesting fluctuation in 1st choice applicants 🤷‍♂️

The much talked about literature course 📖 will open for registration in Sisu on March 26th. The name of the course is Tarinataidot: miten kertomukset rakentavat maailmaa and it is in Finnish and in period V. There is limited space in the course (20 participants) so register only if you are very sure you can attend the mandatory lectures & exercises. All data should be in Sisu. P.S. Keep an eye 👀 open also for the master's level Gender & Technology course, which is coming into Sisu soon. It will be Mondays 15-18 starting May 6th. it is more or less the same course as last May.

Dear all, I’m taking few days off next week which means I’m gone until April 2nd. I hope you get some time off as well. In the case of panic (eg, you need my signature) reach me via old school SMS. Take care, y’all ☺️ P.S. Ultimate Chicken Horse is now on Switch, so enjoy 🐔 🐴

Just added my own copy of this great book for anyone to read and return to the guild library 📚

P.S. Key part of well-being is to have fun. I hope Club Assasin was a success. Further potential fun today 11-12 in Olkkari Nintendo Switch session with yours truly 👾🎮

Well-being is in the core of everyone. And in INF programme it is perhaps the number one skill anyone should have. Therefore, please do check out the fabulous well-being pacakge created by Aalto's psychologists & pedagogical experts. https://www.aalto.fi/en/oasis-of-radical-wellbeing Attached is a slide from my talk on Friday. Here at INF the journey ahead (ie, rest of your professional life) is unclear and you have the freedom to choose. Are you prepared? Have you packed the right things?

This Thursday 11-12, rather than me brewing coffee, let's switch. Literally, let's (Nintendo) Switch! It's my birthday this week, and it would be great to do something different, and I'm a huge fan of Switch games. I would like to buy the guild an ultimate 🐓🐴 birthday present 😎 🎁🎮 I'll bring a gift card, and someone knows the details of the account, a deal? Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Overcooked (aka Ööverkakka in our family)... and/or Ultimate Chicken Horse this Thrusday? Anyone?

In about half an hour, I will be dropping into our “Studio: Ihmisen…” course in Y313. My goal is to highlight the role of methodology studies at INF 🥳 Hope to see many of our phuksis there.
