Hooray! We are super excited to announce that the PDP teams have chosen their projects for 2020-202! It was a long evening but it was all worth it... lots of questions, discussions, and decisions.

Now, it is time for the teams to get together and start thinking about their projects. It will be a fun, long ride!
Next week they will meet their sponsors for the first time.
Again, another milestone in PDP! We couldn't be more excited about this year!

We wish the teams and the sponsors a year full of learnings, fun experiences, failures and a lot of success!

After an amazing Final Gala, PDP is back for anoth

After an amazing Final Gala, PDP is back for another amazing year! Last Wednesday we had our first lecture with the future students of PDP 2020/2021. It was the first ever intro lecture in a hybrid model (offline and online) in the history of PDP.
The beginning was great, but we believe that the end will be even better. Cheers to another year full of craziness and creativity!

PS- check out our amazing setup by our beloved @helloiamgeorgi 🙌

It's a wrap, folks!!
The Final Gala was a success thanks to the students, the sponsors, the partner universities, and the staff at @aaltodf!

It was a very long year for all of us. It was not always easy but the student teams have shown us that with great responsibility comes great commitment! We couldn't ask for a better batch of students!

Here at the PDP office we are already missing the action in Design Factory. It was great to see the teams working together and pushing their creativity, open mindedness and optimism to the limits. Well done!

Now it's time to focus on the coming academic year, and motivate the new students!

We wish all of you a great year of 2020/202!

See you today, for the first lecture and introduction to PdP!

The Product Design Gala 2020 is tomorrow at @aaltodf and @urban.mill !!

The 12 teams from Aalto University and our partner universities have been working hard for the whole year to complete their design challenges given by industrial companies and other collaborating parties. In the public exhibition, you will have a chance to hear about the teams' accomplishments and processes, as well as to get familiar with the people themselves together with their amazing prototypes.

This year the teams were sponsored by companies such as: ABB, Airbus, Aurora Propulsion Technologies, CAEN Spa (in collaboration with the University of Manchester), Futudent, GRK (former Winco), Heimdall, HitSeed, Imagine, Logisnext (former Rocla), Trenox, and SkyEcho. In addition, the Aalto teams have been collaborating with students from universities in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania such as: Javeriana Cali, InovaLab POLI, NYC Design Factory, Thomas Jefferson University, Porto Design Factory, Warsaw Design Factory - INFOX PW, HAMK University of Applied Sciences, RTU Design Factory, Hochschule München, ISDI Mumbai, and Design Factory Melbourne

We strongly encourage you to check the project stories of all the teams: https://vimeo.com/showcase/7499551

These videos show the story of each project and tell about the process and how the teams got to the final solution.
