Aalto University Junior offers art, science, technology and entrepreneurship for children, young people and teachers.
Aalto University Junior offers a sneak peek to the world of higher education to children and young adults around Finland. We support the work of teachers and educators by offering free-of-charge study visits, virtual workshops, training sessions and other services to support teachers in their everyday work, whether they work in primary, secondary or upper secondary education. Our activities showcase the education and research of all the six schools of Aalto University.
Science and creativity as tools for the future!
Teachers can browse through our free workshop offering and book a study visit, either as an on-site visit to the Junior Lab, located on the Otaniemi Campus, or as a virtual study visit, which takes place in the teacher’s own classroom. Junior’s contents make use of Aalto University’s cutting-edge research as well as methods that inspire children and young adults. A visit to Aalto Junior inspires children and young adults to learn through current themes and offers a sneak peek to the world of higher education.
You can book an Aalto University researcher to visit your school and talk about their research in an inspiring way. The visiting researcher will organise a short science session in your class, where they introduce their research area, talk about their work as a researcher and answer the pupils’ questions.
