12. Hitchball 4000 hitchhiking competition June 2^nd 4^th

Hitchball 4000 is a weekend-long adventure during which teams of two people hitchhike across Finland and neighboring countries and complete fun challenges along the way. A GPS tracking system allows fellow competitors, friends, worried relatives and random drivers to follow the race and the progress of their favorite team in real time.

The winner is the team that with a cunning tactic collects the most points from checkpoints located in iconic and absurd places all over the country, and gets back in time as well. The winning team will get to decorate their home with the Hitchball 4000 Cup – to which its name will be engraved – for one year. In addition to the main prize, one team will be awarded with the Spirit of Hitchball award, with separate criteria.

“Hitchhiking as an experience is one of a kind. Our eyes were opened, the faith in humankind was restored and our goal was reached by being totally at the mercy of strangers, and the resulting feeling is, as said by so many others after the experience, awesome.”

Where is the world’s largest reindeer statue? What’s in Napue Gin? Is Santa Claus real? To find out, find yourself a team mate of the opposite gender and take a leap of faith to the next level! The most exciting and eye-opening weekend of your summer is gonna be on June 2nd-4th and registration is open through www.lyyti.fi/reg/hb4000. Registration is filling up quickly and will end latest on May 5th, so be quick!

For 20 years, the Product Development Project course has brought students of engineering, design, and business together to tackle industry problems and develop state of the art solutions to real problems.

At the annual Product Design Gala, you’ll get to witness and experience the fruit of their hard labor, the awesome products. We would like to warmly welcome you to enjoy the public exhibition and get familiar with the projects as well as the amazing teams.

15. Panel Invitation: Should Students Pay Tuition Fees?

Hanken Centre for Corporate Governance (HCCG) invites you to an open panel discussion on whether all students in Finland should pay tuition fees. This question is highly topical, especially in the limelight of a recent report (31^st of March 2017) published by the Research Institute of the Finnish Economy (Etla) speaking for the motion.

Naturally, this debate is complex, and raises questions such as:

What is the purpose of education?
Would this policy change incentivize students to graduate faster?
What does this mean for the Finnish welfare society?

Antti Kähkönen will chair the panel. Our panel will consist of the following persons

Niku Määttänen (Research Director, Etla)
Elina Lepomäki (Member of the Finnish Parliament, National Coalition Party)
Li Andersson (Member of the Finnish Parliament, Left Alliance)
Riina Lumme (President, National Union of University Students in Finland SYL)

Thursday 11^th of May 17:30-19:30 Venue: Assembly hall (festsalen)

Apocalypse!

The zombie virus is spreading! Does humanity have any chance against the ever-growing zombie horde? This year, the virus emerges from the labs of the rich elite. “They” created it to make people their brain dead slaves who work endlessly and contaminate more humans.

Humans vs. Zombies is a moderated game of tag where zombie players try to spread the infection by tagging human players. The game also includes various tasks to make it more interesting. Teamwork is the key to success, so meeting new people is guaranteed.

The game is completely free of charge and happens in Otaniemi 24/7 on the 4^th and 5^th of May. On Sunday, we will organize a closing sauna for debriefing and prize-giving.

13. Wappuvaihto su 23.4.2017

Wappu is coming once again. The traditional events, Wappu sitsit and all that stuff, all that jam, but ah, it’s always the same. The feeling that some change, maybe even an exchangeship, would freshen you up, is familiar to both freshmen and seniors alike.

If this sounds familiar, then the Wappu exchange might be the thing for you! Why be content with the Otaniemi Wappu, when you can see how it’s done elsewhere? So, join our exchange to see the Tampere Teekkariwappu on Sunday, the 23^rd of April!

The merry bus ride to Hervanta leaves from Otaniemi at 11:00. At Hervanta, there will be a Wappuradio LIVE concert on the front lawn of TTY and the Academic Beer Pong World Championships at Bommari, with afterparties. You need not figure out a place to stay, though, since you can hop back on the bus and be safe and sound back at Otaniemi by 03:00 AM, with the bus leaving at 01:00 AM from Tampere.

Please note that you can sign up for the Beer Pong Tournament separately as the signup opens at 12:00 on the 17^th of April, but participating in the Wappu Exchange does not automatically get you signed up for the tournament!

The price for the entire exchange is 10€ per person, with the bus trip from Otaniemi to Hervanta and back. The 50 spots go to the fastest signups, which opens on Tuesday, the 4^th of April at 13:00 at https://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/wappuvaihto/.
Adacemic Engineers and Architects in Finland, more broadly known as TEK, encourages interaction between teekkari communities and is supporting the Wappu Exchange. Contact the teekkari sector correspondents Tyko Viertiö or Jonne Itäpuro if you have any questions.

14. Kyykkä Tournament on the 25^th of April at 14:00

Because there’s no need to reinvent the wheel, we will use the Academic Kyykkä World Championship rules, which can be found at http://kyykka.fi/säännöt

The signup opens on the 5^th of April at 12:00 and closes on the 20^th of April at 23:45 at https://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/kevatkyykka-2017-spring-skittles-2017/.

After the tournament, there is a great opportunity to continue the evening with the Strong Songs Sauna organized by the Lukkari Committee Lutku at the Alvari Square Wappu Arena!

15. Sitsi competition on Saturday, the 22nd of April at 13–17 @ Alvari Square

The sitsi competition has traditionally seen the most spectacular and imaginatively themed sitsit and creative assemblies both in costumes, songs and food! The most original and inventive teams will be rewarded on the Wappu eve on the 30^th of April at the Wappurieha kick off!

16. Äpy Gala on the 21^st of April 2017

Apocalypse!

Zombie virus is spreading! Does humanity have any chance against the ever growing zombie horde? This year the virus emerges from the labs of the rich elite. “They” created it to make people their brain dead slaves who work endlessly and contaminate more humans. Can the humans prevent this vicious plan or will the world turn as a giant factory to create more capital to the rich?

Humans vs. Zombies is a moderated game of tag where zombie players try to spread the infection by tagging human players. Team work is the key to success, so meeting new people is guaranteed. Game is completely free of charge and happens in Otaniemi 24/7 on 4.-7.5. Main tasks are in the evening, so don’t worry.
