ME310 Aalto Paperbike Epic Race will be held on the 19th of October @ Alvarin Aukio. Everyone is invited to come and see our cool bikes!

The Paper Bike rally is a challenge given every year in the beginning of the ME310 – Global Design Innovation course taught at Aalto Design Factory.

Teams of 3-4 students are given two weeks to build a ”bike” (essentially any vehicle) made almost entirely out of paper products and compete in a given challenge.

This year, the challenge is an race where the teams face many of the hazards of cycling. The paper vehicles will go toe to toe around a track with varying obstacles, with the goal of completing the race in the last amount of time.

Students will first compete in qualifying heats to gather points to earn a place in the final, where they will then race one-on-one to decide the 2017 champion!

See you there to see some awesome designs and cheer the teams on!

The Paper Bike rally is a challenge given every year in the beginning of the ME310 – Global Design Innovation course taught at Aalto Design Factory

PaperbikeRace2015Teams of 4-5 students are given two weeks to build a ”bike” (meaning vehicle) made almost entirely out of paper products and compete in a given challenge.

This year, the challenge is an actual race where paper vehicles will go toe to toe around a track with varying obstacles, with the goal of completing the race in the last amount of time.

Students will compete in a ”F1” setting, first having a ”timing” contest determining their starting position in the actual race.

They will then complete two laps of the course, where they will switch the rider and the pusher after one lap has been completed.

See you there to see some awesome designs and cheer the teams on!
