Amazing North experiences 

Atea

“Atea has had the joy of being a cooperation partner with Oulu. We cooperate with products and brand implementation. Oulu’s professional education personnel test our devices and programs, as well as consider their applications technically and pedagogically. This is very valuable information for businesses that produce equipment and organize training and consultation. 

The Amazing North event itself was a wonderful opportunity to see and experience the results that student groups had come up with. Problem-solving, cooperation, entrepreneur-education, multidisciplinary, and new innovations are just some things you will see during this great day. New literacies are also heavily highlighted during the event. It is great to follow how digital devices can be used effectively and pedagogically. Discussions with other businesses also open up cooperation opportunities. The Amazing North event is a part of Atea’s annual schedule, and we consider it a very interesting and important day. 

I recommend Amazing North to every business that wants to understand what digitalization can achieve in education.”

Tevella

“Amazing North has offered our business a window into the concrete world of STEAM pedagogy. It is wonderful to see how excited, joyful, and productive children and youth are when it comes to STEAM. This reinforces our business’s excitement to continue offering STEAM products to our customers. 

At the event, you will meet different operators and businesses, as well as learn more about STEAM pedagogy, for example, by listening to keynotes. Our business networks have grown stronger through Amazing North. 

At the event, we can see how our products can produce STEAM. We gather data or product needs to support our offering. Tevella’s slogan ‘Opi kanssamme’ (Fin. Learn with us) comes alive here! 

This event is a vantage point to all businesses interested in STEAM. 

We warmly recommend participation.”

Microsoft

“We at Microsoft have participated in the city of Oulu’s Amazing North events for multiple years. This has been a significant event for us for multiple reasons. It is essential that we see the joy of learning from young learners. For my work, it has been important to see and experience what modern and participatory pedagogy is at its best. 

I warmly recommend other businesses to participate as well. It is easy to agree with the AI’s reasoning: ‘The event offers a unique opportunity to learn new things, network, and explore new technologies.”
