Good Evening everybody! It's E=mc2 calling.

BRAINS & BEAUTY

Many ideas gushing in day by day, more clues and clues... we are integrating our information together now... Whao!!! it is beyond anybody imaginations, though it is challenging especially in this period of near approaching examinations but it is all interesting. Now, hoping to have nice and delightful next photo shot tomorrow and some trip around the city, it is better experiecnced than imagined.

Core

This is really challenging time for everyone of us (all the participants of innocity competition), this is because we are going to have exam weeks so we need to give more time to our studies and also we need to be active and give time for our assignments of innocity. Though we know that where there is will, there is way so let´s always hope for the positive solution.

And we are exciteD for the next video shot on this friday. we hope that, it will be fun.
:DD

InnoCity (and also of course E=mc2) goes to the COUNTRYYY

Yihaa everybody!
At the photoshoot we decided to take things to the whole other level. We went back to the basics, to country, visit Ida's horse Roma and getting some fresh country air! (or fresh country snow, right Jayden? ;) ) Before shooting we were brainstorming at Coffee House (seems to be very popular spot in this competition...), also some pictures from there.
Now, here's for you. Take a look and learn!
Jayden is checking out whether the horse's is a boy or a girl.... ( :D )
Victoria totally feed Roma so much, the horse ain't gonna need any more sweets this year (;
Sepehr, our very own Santa Claus
Thinking about WINNING! Go Einstein.
Looking forward to the next week! 2 weeks to go!

Hi guys!
The Raptors are working on their assignment. Last week we had a meeting in Lappeenranta and we got some really nice ideas! And we also met Marjut and guys last week, the results you can see soon ;)
We scared some passing by people who were peacefully shopping in IsoKristina :D
Now we are having a hard work ahead. And we are doing our best!

2010/11/27

It is minus 15C degrees outside and I was freezing my fingers off while I was waiting for the bus. I knew that my other team members were in the same boat as I received a text from Gobinda saying that he just missed the bus. Of some reason, the bus to the city centre was much earlier and we all were late for our next team meeting. The Coffee House was a pleasant place to meet up, especially when hot chocolate with whipped cream on the top was waiting for us. I passed the place many times, but this was the first time when I actually visited it. During our meeting, we were all sitting tight together at the table with our laptops and heavily discussing how to tackle our assignment.

Our approach is still a secret, of course, and therefore I can unfortunately not tell you more about it. At least not for the moment ;-) After ending our meeting, we realised that we had to wait about 20 minutes before our next bus would arrive. Waiting in the cold would have been too dreadful, so I have decided to stay in the Coffee House and write this blog.

BRAINS & BEAUTY

1st week of Inno City Competion has gone and we are enjoying working on our assignment.

Yesterday's interview with Jayden was also very good.

Imran

Core

One week has been elapsed since our assignment was declared and despite of our busy shedule of our school, we are making good communications with our group members and hope that it will go perfect. The real winter has started in Finland and between those hard circumstances everyone are fulfilling their responsibilities, it is so hard to walk outside these few days because of snow storm but at least we have patience to wait for next summer :DD
Anyways, best of luck to everyone with your assignments including our own team"core".
thanks

hi

hello everyone ,we are from core.

(¯`·._.·[THE R-R-RAPTORS]·._.·´¯)

The Raptors have been literally off the hook. We have given a little demonstration of our competency and dexterity on the Grand Opening itself. All teams were great but The Raptors killed the floor and made their way to the headlines in Etelä Saimaa, the very next day. In addition, The Raptors will also be collaborating with the local Newspaper authorities for further introduction and future plans, which will be officially published on Wednesday. Enough said, now the rivals can get an idea of what we are capable of and what we can do in order to strive for Victory.
Let me give you a little insight about what's going on behind the jaws and the claws!
The Raptors, from the name itself is a very fierce and aggressive team consisting of a multicutural environment of species. It is said that the Raptors are evolved from the Fantastic 4 as each of the team member consists of an extraordinary power and a wide range of talent. The powers of these Fantastic 4 are sourced from 4 different portals which include International Business, Tourism, Infomation technology and last but not least Mechanical Engineering. Fortunately, during a catastrophic experiment of a gorgeous co-ordinator the fantastic 4 were forged together to form the ultimately furious team, The Raptors.
(Stay tuned for further Entertainment & Fury as The Raptors make their way to the TOP)

Inauguration Ceremony of Innocity

Yesterday on November 17th, the Galleria floor rocked with the inauguration ceremony of Innocity, here in Lappeenranta. All the team member were there at 4:30 p.m. Everybody was curious what to show and what to do for the showcase of their team. Suddenly, all people got good assignment, carrying table from another building to the floor of Galleria. Our team shows the team spirit even on this. That was just a preparation for the ceremony.I was just making joke on it.Nothing more than that. Before program started, Jayden was roaming in the floor with mike and was asking different question to member of competition.
At 6:00 p.m, the program started. The hosts of the program were Maria and Marjut. Maria hosted in Finnish whereas Marjut hosted in English. The floor got hot with the street dance of the school boys and girls. They were cool, in a single word.
Then the hosts introduced the teams. Starting with The Raptors, Mainio, E=mc2, Brain and Beauty, Core and Into. Everyone had their own way to show themselves in front of the peoples.After it, Jayden asked a question to each team. The CEO of two companies, Kaunesstudio and Forenom spoke a bit about the Innocity and their company after the introduction phase of team. The jury were also in the floor of ceremony after it. Each people in the jury represents from different field with different experience. I liked the combination of jury.
At last the floor rocked again with the street dance of school guys.
Wait !!!
There was a lottery also at last. I can't remember the prize and name of winner. But no one won from my team :(.
Anyway, the program was good. Simply in a word, it was stupendous.
Cheers,
Udhyan.

THE mighty E=mc²!

Yesterday we were not acquainted with each other, but today we call ourselves a team!
We are young and beautiful, we are multicultural, we are THE E=mc²! The name of our team, E=mc², may bring you an idea of one of the most important physicist of all times, Mr. Albert Einstein and his idea of mass-energy equivalence. However, as much as we do respect Mr. Einstein, we have created a unique interpretation of his equation that characterizes us as a team;
We are very Energetic, highly Motivated and Competitive in square !
It is cool to be a part of the project that expands horizons and lets us be creative and implement the ideas into reality!
We are 2 boys and 2 girls from Finland, Pakistan, Russia and Iran and we have one uniting goal to achieve something Big!
Follow us, enjoy the competition and let's have fun!
Yours,
E=mc²
aka Ida-Lotta, Victoria, Sepehr and Muhammad Adeel

InTo Group

 Hi everyone, this is InTo group. We are pleased to introduce ourselves. You might wonder what InTo means. As this is a project relating to innovation and tourism, we have decided first to combine letters from INnovation and TOurism. Secondly, it describes the movement of travelling; being IN a place and going TO a place. In addition, InTo is a Finnish word and stands for enthusiasm. =)

We are enthusiastic about our group name and talk about it a lot...

Fresh and innovative ideas InTo reality.

We are  InTo InnoCity.

Life is a miracle, coming InTo this world, coming InTo this city, and meeting you in InnoCity.
