Originally designed as a guesthouse in the locality of Kontiolahti, Finland, the Meteorite Cabin by Helsinki-based firm Ateljé Sotamaa takes the form of a polyhedral monolith in prefabricated cross-laminated timber (CLT), amid a blooming, remote landscape. Appearing as a "dark, mystical object among the trees", every line, vertex, and angle in its prefabricated architectural form is befitting of its name, reminiscent of an irregular celestial mass that has crash landed onto the forested landscape it is nestled within.
"Meteorite reflects the connection my soul has to Finnish nature, and looking through one of its large windows to the misty fields around takes me back to the calm days of childhood." says Ulla-Maaria Koivula - Founder and CEO of education technology provider ThingLink, reflecting on her vision for the project.

Happy Tu B'shvat טו בשבט שמח
Today our amazing staff Zohar Cohen & Bar Daat ran an amazing program they created with a Tu B'shvat theme using a virtual escape using ThingLink and other online tools for Science Mobile program participants!!! They spent many hours on it the past few days and the kids really enjoyed it!! What an amazing science filled educational program that can be enjoyed by both the children physically at our after-school center and in isolation due to Covid
היום חברות הצוות המדהימות שלנו זהר כהן ובר רוז, הכינו פעילות של חדר בריחה וירטואלי! הפעילות הינה מותאמת אישית לילדים שנמצאים כעת בבידוד בשל המצב וגם לילדים שמגיעים למועדוניות לאחר בית הספר!
חדר הבריחה נבנה סביב נושא חגיגות ט"ו בשבט שמצויין היום בכל רחבי הארץ!
הפעילות נוצרה באמצעות האתר ThingLink וכלים מקוונים נוספים כחלק מתוכנית המעבדה המתגלגלת של העמותה.
הצוות שלנו השקיע שעות רבות על הפעילות בימים האחרונים והילדים נהנו מאוד!!

Finland’s EdTech scene is hot, and it’s not surprising giving our country’s focus and dedication to the researching and developing the fields of learning, education and technological development. Add to this the national recognition of the value of start-up culture investing in new ideas, and Finnish ingenuity and you get a society that embraces and encourages the founding and development of new and exciting ventures.
Even within our little bubble of education related technology there are numerous businesses and products founded and designed in Finland with the goal of enhancing and improving the world of learning and education. In celebration of our national identity, and in the spirit of Finnish Independence Day, we thought we’d take some time this week to highlight a few Finnish EdTechs we love and work with.
ThingLink:
Founded in 2010 and, now based in Palo Alto California, ThingLink is a rich media tagging platform which allows you to create images and videos (including 360 images and video) speckled in clickable hotspots which expand to present further information. This information can contain text, additional images, weblink and even questions. It is a great tool for presenting information in an interactive and visual format that can shake up digital learning in a way that is fun and institutive for learners. ThingLink media can be directly embedded into Claned and is one of the technologies we love to encourage course creators to explore to add variety, engagement, and fun into their learning programs.
Mightifier Suomi:
Mightifier is a social-emotional learning (SEL) and character development program based on decades of research, based in Helsinki. With an overwhelming amount of attention and support in education recently directed to a set of “soft-skills” (part of 21st century skills) considered essential to succeed in the modern world, programs such as Mightifier’s are helping to fill a much-needed gap. In addition to providing lessons, activities, and tools for education professionals to incorporate into their classrooms, Mightifier uses Claned to help train and up-skill teachers and educators in how to incorporate and develop SEL. Not to leave any market out, they have also developed programs for business and organisations to internally train employees and help develop their social-emotional skills, improve workplace communication and collaboration - something considered essential in most modern businesses.
GraphoGame:
GraphoGame is Claned’s sister company was founded soon after Claned in 2018. GraphoGame is focused on early childhood literacy. Developed in partnership with neurolinguists and neuropsychologists, GraphoGame is researched based and makes use of cutting-edge neuroscience related to how linguistic systems develop in young minds and supports this process through a gamified support system. The results speak for themselves with up to 3x faster development in early childhood literacy skills. Like Claned, GraphoGame extends beyond the content, providing insights and analytics to parents and teachers so they can better understand children’s development. It is currently available in Finnish, Norwegian, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, with more languages in development and millions of children around the world using it to learn to read. In many cases it's even free. So, if there are young ones in your life introduce GraphoGame and get them reading in a way that is fun and delivers results!
TinyApp:
TinyApp was founded in 2015 and is based in Helsinki. As an ECE (Early-Childhood Education) tool TinyApp takes a different approach, focusing on supporting teachers to help them deliver the best education experience possible to young minds. Within TinyApp Teacher can profile both groups and individual learners, track, and report on their interests, needs and progress, create evaluation plans and get ideas for how to incorporate 21st century skills into lessons and activities. Information can be used to generate reports which can be shared with school admins, co-teachers, and parents alike. TinyApp is used internationally and is currently available in Finnish English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
5G Mökki:
Mökki in Finnish means cottage or cabin, and is a favourite location for families, friend, and groups to come together and spend holiday time, especially during the summer. The 5G Mökki is a product and service borne out a 2019 hackathon event organised by Start North. The concept is simple - provide a physical space with free access to 5G networks - like a communal hot spot in malls, libraries, universities, and community centres. In addition to this Make knowledge and information about the use and application of 5G solutions available and encourage people not only to learn about it but to share their ideas and solutions here (in a digital space) in the hopes of uncovering new discoveries, applications, and ventures that make use of this powerful technology. The first few Mökki’s have been built and will soon pop up around Finland and the Nordic region, with plans to make this a global service, and enabling people around the world to connect, collaborate and learn together. Claned supplies the learning platform and digital space for sharing ideas and deepening knowledge about 5G technology and looks forward to helping innovative minds connect grow and develop new ideas.
So, here’s our favourite Finnish EdTechs. In this list there are only 5 but there are so many other EdTechs in Finland (like research-backed, play-based STEAM education program Kide Science and YuyuToys - a combination of early childhood education, physical toy sets, and pre-set activities) and around the world that we love as well. Which one of these is a front-runner for you? The EdTech market is booming and full of opportunities. Want to hear more about the bustling Edtech scene? Book a demo and we’ll handle the rest 😊
We're excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for Technology Mini-Grants. Saint Leo University faculty are eligible for awards of up to $200 of funding for tools like Padlet, ThingLink , Kahoot, and more! Details here:
