The Teen´s Design Academy group meets on Thursdays from 5–7.30 PM at Piispankatu 8.
The Teen’s Design Academy is suited for all 13 to 16-year-olds interested in creativity and self-expression. The term includes a variety of learning new technologies, new materials, design and the history of Finnish design.
In addition to traditional tools, digital design tools and programs are used in the studies. In the teen group, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and teamwork and skills of expression are learnt. We encourage experimentation, taking initiative, exchanging views and sharing ideas.
The Academy of Design conducts an extensive curriculum of basic art studies with an emphasis on design. A certificate is obtained for the completed studies, which is useful, for example, when applying for art-oriented studies.
During the autumn semester you can explore Finnish peasant culture and its handmade items by approaching design from the function´s perspective. In the Academy of Design you can learn what does practical and simple design mean and how it appeared in Finnish peasant culture. During the autumn, we will design and make functional objects and learn how Finnishness is related to designed objects.

The fee includes tuition and materials used in the course.
The semester consists of 16 sessions, with each session lasting 2.5 hours. One teaching session includes three 45-minute lessons and a break. Total of 48 lessons in the semester.
