The 5G Hack the Mall summer course
During this summer, the international summer course will be coordinated from Aalto University's Otaniemi 鶹ý where students will look for uses for 5G technology. 5G Hack the Mall is an open online course where students develop their ideas for 5G-based products and services together with several business partners.
Finnish and foreign degree students, as well as students from general upper secondary schools and adult students can again participate in the intensive course.
Students do not need to have prior knowledge of 5G technology. The course is open to students from all fields, as 5G technology plays a key role in the development of new types of products and services, for example in education, healthcare, industry and services, or the creative industries.
