# AivoLink

Metropolia's tech hub for hands-on digital prototyping.

## TL;DR

- AivoLink is a walk-in prototyping hub at Metropolia's Myllypuro campus.
- Students and teachers build real digital products (apps, VR/AR, interactive tools, AI solutions).
- No appointment, no formal enrollment, no prior coding experience required.
- Core value: idea-to-prototype support with tools, space, and mentorship.

## Who AivoLink Is For

- Cross-disciplinary teams and project groups

## What AivoLink Provides

- Workspace and equipment (computers, VR/XR gear, software)
- AI-assisted prototyping workflows
- Mentorship and practical guidance
- Gamified learning design expertise

## How It Works

1. Walk in with an idea
2. Use available tools and workspace
3. Get support from mentors
4. Build quickly with AI-assisted workflows
5. Leave with a tangible prototype

## Origin

- AivoLink has roots in Metropolia's Future Construction Hub (TITAN) project (2023–2025).
- After TITAN, the model was expanded beyond a single field to support all faculties.

## What Success Looks Like

- Ideas moving from concept to tangible prototypes
- Cross-department collaboration
- Portfolio-ready student outputs
- Gamified learning tools adopted across courses
- Skills that transfer directly to working life
