Kosmo Strömman, 8, and Stella Strömman, 10, kids of two designers, know what design is.
Kosmo Strömman, 8, and Stella Strömman, 10, kids of two designers, know what design is.
“For example, my phone is design, it means someone has designed it,” explains Stella.
Stella wished for Harry Potter-themed events. “I would like a workshop where one could design their own magic wand,” she muses. Kosmo would appreciate a workshop where he could test a Star Wars spaceship, with the help of a computer program. “If I could organize my own workshop it would be about cars. People could see different cars. Or I might do a candy museum that would showcase different old sweet brands!” says Kosmo.
These are the events where Kosmo and Stella would like to pay a visit this year.
The center opens its doors to introduce a world of virtual reality and augmented reality for visitors. Visitors can experience a wide variety of XR demos and solutions in the brand new showroom!
Stella: YES YES YES! Roni Back has also tried these!
Kosmo: Yeah, I would love to test this too!

The area explores the culture of Helsinki in the form of a game that is based on Monopoly. The player may forget their hat on Liisankatu, go to jail or even take a nap on Bulevardi.
