Hobby spots through OmaStadi
Every Thursday afternoon, pupils study robotics at Vuoniitty Comprehensive School. First and second graders arrive in the robotics club first, and after one hour, it is the turn of third and fourth graders.
“The club has been very popular. We have around twenty active participants,” says club instructor, special needs class teacher Anna Laine-Çam.
The robotics club, which is free of charge to the participants, was initially an OmaStadi project, i.e. the idea for the club was proposed by residents of Helsinki. Anyone can submit a proposal to OmaStadi to promote positive change in Helsinki. The residents will then vote on the best proposals to be further developed, and many of them are implemented.
