Mechatronic Circus 2024

The sure sign of spring, the Mechatronic Circus, is here again. On Thursday 11.4.2024 you can learn about smart devices built by students, participate in demonstration tours, and see the latest results from the research projects!
Mekatroniikan Sirkus

The Circus will take over Otaniemi's Puumiehenkuja block on Thursday, April 11, 2024, when students present the devices they built during the spring mechatronics courses at the Mechatronics Circus event. The event is open to everyone and there is no need to register. Come and see the wonderful work of the students anytime between 10 am and 3 pm. Pea soup is available from the soup kitchen from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Program from 10:00 to 15:00
