Last week, we embarked on an incredible two-day journey of connection, learning, and fun here at kood/Sisu. Here’s a glimpse into the two unforgettable events that set the tone for this semester:
Day 1: Batch 2 Kickoff 🎉
We welcomed our newest batch of students with a day full of insights, activities, and camaraderie. The day began with a warm welcome speech from Laura, our Head of School, setting an inspiring tone for what lies ahead.
Next, Roosa and Farouq hosted an info session, covering the practicalities of studies and helping students navigate their academic journey with ease. This was followed by an introduction to the Student Council, where the team shared their role in supporting and enriching student life.
To top it off, the day ended with some lighthearted competition during the kood/Sisu Olympics 2025, featuring fun activities like the IT Track and a paper plane throwing contest. The laughter and friendly rivalry were the perfect icebreaker for our new batch.
As evening approached, we shifted gears to something more relaxed. Led by the Student Council, we wrapped up the day with board games, creating an opportunity to build connections and friendships over shared fun.
Day 2: Partner Morning 🤝
The next day, we welcomed our esteemed partners for a Partner Morning dedicated to bridging the gap between students and the industry. Representatives from our partner companies hosted partner booths, introducing themselves and sharing insights about their organizations directly with students.
The morning also featured an inspiring talk by Miika, the Chairman of the Board, who shared the story of kood/Sisu and its mission to empower students and foster innovation.
The event concluded with a panel discussion featuring Irina from Graniitti Service and Anni from OP. They shared valuable perspectives on their industries and answered thought-provoking questions, leaving students with actionable insights and plenty of inspiration.
Both events highlighted the vibrant and supportive community that kood/Sisu is all about. From hands-on activities to professional networking, the kickoff and Partner Morning set the stage for an exciting semester ahead. Here’s to more moments of learning, growth, and connection!
