The Researchers’ Night programme invited visitors to observe, ask questions and get hands-on. Research and development across different fields was presented in an accessible, practical way in the Main Campus facilities and laboratories.
Families explored questions related to cybersecurity at the stand of the Finnish Center of Expertise for Cybersecurity FICEC, which attracted a steady stream of people interested in the topic throughout the event. According to Project Manager Antti Teppo, cybersecurity interests people of all ages and raises many questions.
“It was great to see that even young people already have a good understanding of the basics of cybersecurity. On our digital prize wheel, a cybercriminal might initially steal the prize, but answering a quiz question correctly would drive the cybercriminal away. Our quiz offered a suitable challenge for everyone, as participants could choose their own difficulty level,” Teppo said.
