VI. Design Direction

How might we create a healthy campus community with reduced study-related stress and richer social connections, through harnessing the diversity of the students and natural resources of Otaniemi campus?

Design principles

Nudge students towards better productivity

Service should not add new stress on students by mandating a particular behaviour, but rather encourage them. It should be designed to naturally improve productivity skills through what makes theme want to join without being forced.

Create easy access to social connections

It is important to note that developing social connections requires energy. Service should be design that fosters social connection, where students can meet and share their experience with each other. Student associations can and should be a key enabler.

Develop skills useful throughout

the life The achievements through the designed service should not merely the success in study periods or temporary happiness, but a process of learning skills how to learn that would be useful throughout life.
