Prototypes, Snowboards and Complex Numbers

During day two and three of the intensive programme we had a variety of lectures and project work.


Tuesday started of with rethinking our product design, after which a sensor lecture provided by Mr. van Westen started. During this lecture we covered the basics of sensors and their problems. The day ended with a nice meal provided in a local restaurant, during this meal we had the possibility to get to know each other a little better.



Wednesday brought a new teacher in during the design classes, this teacher was specialized in prototyping, with his help we designed and modelled a 3d model out of foam. After this modelling session we were all given a microprocessor and started with programming this microprocessor which is done in the programming language c++.


We were also offered a chance visit a local ski center for some R&R. We went to a ski piste located around 10km from the town of Riihimaki, the HIT 3 put on their snowboard boots and went for a nice ride down the slope. Around 8 the piste closed and we returned back to the hotel.



Friday we will travel to a cottage located in EVO, we will try to keep you updated about our weekend!

Yarouslaf, Henrik & René
