The most valuable treasure – memories from the 2016 Tempaus
As Tempaus is relevant again, let’s take a moment to reminisce about the previous Tempaus. Chair of Tempaus Committee 2016 and Policy Planning Director of the City of Espoo Niko Ferm wrote a blog post about what Tempaus meant to him, what was gained from it, and why every single member of the Aalto community should join Tempaus this autumn.
Tempaus – harnessing community for advocacy work
This autumn, Aalto University Student Union will organise Tempaus after a break of several years. Kaikkien käsien jälki Tempaus (“A Collective Handprint”) takes place on the hundredth anniversary of the engineer with a sturdy beard, a mythical figure that supervises the actions of engineering students. In his article, Juuso Määttä delves into the history of Tempaus.
