Kood/Sisu coding school in Kuopio attracts more than 1000 applicants from 23 nationalities

Inclusive education for a diverse student body

Kood/Sisu's philosophy emphasizes accessibility and inclusiveness in technology education. Prospective students are not required to have previous experience or training in the field, which makes the school an attractive option for career changers and beginners. It is noteworthy that 40 percent of the applicants registered for the upcoming sprints already have a university degree, which shows that the school is of interest to many learners.

Continuous registration and limited sprint spots

The school's unique admissions process includes an online exam followed by an intensive three-week programming sprint. The test is available all year round, but sprint places are limited to 175 applicants per session. The first sprint planned for Kuopio at the end of January has already filled more than 70% of its capacity, and there have been plenty of registrations for the next sprint in February. Those who were successful in Sprint will start their studies at kood/Sisu in March.

Uncertainty about study grants

Even though the code/Sisu education is free of charge, getting a study grant is still unresolved. Kood/Sisu director Laura Nykänen hoped for a quick solution in cooperation with Ylä-Savo vocational college and Kela. The decision has a significant impact on students' ability to finance their studies.

A flourishing training center in Savilahti

The school will be located in Savilahti, an area flourishing with educational and business opportunities. The area is home to a unique multi-level campus, such as Savo Vocational College, Savonia University of Applied Sciences and the University of Eastern Finland, forming a living community of approximately 17,500 students. Nykänen sees strong cooperation opportunities with local companies and educational institutions, which will promote growth and innovation in the region.

Innovative learning environment

The school facilities designed by the design agency Hiili & Timanti emphasize versatility, which serves both concentrated work and relaxed interaction. The absence of traditional classrooms and the inclusion of relaxation areas such as lounges, game rooms and kitchens promote student well-being. The industrial-style space is accentuated with code/Sisu's brand colors, which balance femininity and masculinity.

As kood/Sisu prepares to welcome its diverse cohort, it stands out as a progressive model in technology education poised to significantly contribute to the growth and diversity of the software industry.

Where will Reykjavík go in 250 million years?

Image
250 million years ago, all the continents on Earth were combined into one supercontinent called Pangea. It existed for about 100 million years, until the movement of tectonic plates finally began to break it apart. Tens of millions more years passed before Pangea finally split into two smaller continents, Laura and Gondwanaland, which broke up into continents long after, […] The article Where Reykjavík will go in 250 million years comes from ICELAND NEWS. https://nord.news/2023/01/31/where-will-reykjavik-go-in-250-million-years/?feed_id=8192

Long covid linked to air pollution exposure in young adults - new study

Image
Although covid-19 infections are usually less severe in young adults, this does not mean that they are not still at risk of complications from covid-19. For example around one in 25 adults over 16 have reported suffering from prolonged covid-19 symptoms after their first infection. For some, these symptoms lasted almost two years. While we are getting closer to understanding some of the genetic and immunological mechanisms that causes long-term covid, there's still a lot we don't know about the condition — including why people with otherwise mild covid-19 infections go on to develop long-term covid. We also know some of the risk factors that make people more likely to develop long-term covid - including suffering from chronic diseases and have one unhealthy lifestyle . And our latest study has now revealed that, at least for young adults aged 26-28, where they live can increase the risk of long-term covid. While most people recover from a covid-19 infection after a fe...

Study: The right time for physical activity increases fat metabolism

Image
Solna [Sweden]February 18 (ANI): According to a recent study from Sweden's Karolinska Institute and Denmark's University of Copenhagen, mice that exercised during an early active phase, which is comparable to morning exercise in humans, had higher metabolic rates than mice that exercised during a time when they usually rested. The results of the study were published in the journal PNAS. Physical activity at different times of the day can affect the body in different ways because the biological processes depend on the circadian rhythm of the cells. To determine how the time of day when the exercise is done affects fat burning, researchers at the Karolinska Institutet and the University of Copenhagen studied the adipose tissue of mice after a session of high-intensity exercise performed at two points in the daily cycle. an early active phase and early resting phase (equivalent to late morning and late evening sessions in humans). The researchers studied various markers for ...
