Future of Technology Education
The Future of Technology Education event starts with keynote speeches from the newly appointed professors of technology education Kaiju Kangas (University of Helsinki) and Maria Clavert (Aalto University), followed by greetings from the Technology Industries of Finland Centennial Foundation. The program continues with showcasing examples of current best practices of forerunners in the field of technology education, drawing from the experiences of an Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliances project 'Universities of the Future'. The participants are encouraged to work together to integrate relevant lessons learned to their own activities in the field of education.
The event is organized at Aalto University Design Factory (Betonimiehenkuja 5 C, 02150 Otaniemi) as a part of its 10-year anniversary celebration. The participants are welcome to join the whole two-day program (https://adf.fi/10years/).
