Student project: Making of JHC

"Launching JHC project" - or shortly known "JHC-käyttöönottoprojekti" - driven by students, has finally found its way to the blog format!

Project aims to launch JHC by helping Markku Ikävalko, Marko Kasurinen, Mikko Kuisma and Terhi Virkki-Hatakka with building work benches and tables, filling workshops with machines, tools and equipment, writing safety instructions and other work culture related materials. These materials are then used to make a course for LUT students where they learn to use metalworking, woodworking and other "heavier" and more complex machines safely in different workshops.

Who are we? A group of students from different degree programmes who have a passion to craft JHC into a nice place for students to make their own projects. Here is short introduction of our team:

Antti Immonen - Microtechnology and electronics enthusiast - Antti is partaking in both electronics and CNC equipment acquisition and beginning-of-use preparations. He is currently working on making 3D-printing possible in JHC. Moreover, he is also interested in exploring the possibilities of making use of the JHC equipment from the wearable electronics and sensor solutions point of view, as well as quick electronics prototyping.

Elmo Vilenius - One of our handyman, Elmo is interested to learn to use 3D printer, CNC-machine, laser engraver and other machines (and help to make instructions for those.. :D)

Henry Hiltunen - "Huttunen" - I'm involved in project management related stuff with Oliver. I want learn to use CNC-machines and laser engraver and make intructions for those. Of course I help others wherever I can. My goal is to learn everything about JHC related things and help to build it from zero to its full potential.

Joel-Evert Liukkonen - The Best Welder of Finland Scandinavia - according to Joel, someone has nominated him for such a title - Joel truly has made some nice welds for benches and work tables. He is interested in making intructions for machines (welding machine for starters) and help us make JHC safe to work via safety instructions.

Juho Havia - The hands-on-guy - Juho has intended to develop his skills in woodworking, metalworking and hot work environment. He wants to learn how to work in group oriented projects. Especially what kind of planning and investments related tasks project needs.

Lauri Tuimala - The Handyman, Lauri wants to help make JHC available to students, especially interested in selecting viable equipments to electronic workshop. In his own words he is going to "be actively on the spot".

Oliver Kuustonen - Project coordinator. Oliver wants to learn project related things and compare JHC to other voluntary organizations.

After the project, JHC is standing on its own feet and LUT students can start to do their projects as easily as possible.

So, lets continue working. See you next time!
