[Avoimet Ovet] Kehitä vuorovaikutustaitojasi Stadin Sanasepissä
**Haluatko oppia puhumaan selkeämmin, itsevarmemmin – ja vähän vähemmällä jännityksellä?**
**Stadin Sanasepät** on suomenkielinen puhe- ja esiintymistaitojen treenikenttä, jossa opitaan puhumalla – ei istumalla passiivisena luennoilla. Meillä esiintytään, mokaillaan, pitchataan ja kehitytään turvallisessa ja kannustavassa ilmapiirissä.
Tämä on hyvä paikka, jos haluat esimerkiksi:
– saada itsevarmuutta esiintymiseen
– sanoittaa omaa ajatustasi napakammin
– treenata tulevaa työpaikan esitystä varten
– kehittyä palautteen antajana (ja vastaanottajana!)
– tai vaan oppia puhumaan ihmisille niin, että ne kuuntelee
Saat oman mentorin, pääsyn kansainväliseen Toastmasters-materiaaliin – ja ennen kaikkea porukan, joka tsemppaa ja kulkee mukana.
Vieraileminen on maksutonta eikä ennakkoilmoittautumista tarvita. Tule testaamaan, miltä tuntuu puhua yleisön edessä. Ei tarvitse olla valmis – kunhan haluat oppia.
The Difference Between Resignation and Trust
Letting go can feel either like giving up or like standing quietly in place — and the difference matters.
This session looks at how these two states are lived in the body and mind, and how recognizing the difference can restore a sense of steadiness and self-respect.

AWS User Group Finland - Community GameDay 2026 @ Cloud2

It's a fun, engaging, and hands-on way to learn more about AWS and network with our community.

Tuoreita tositarinoita tekoälyavusteisesta kehittämisestä
Tule Vallilaan kuulemaan kaksi tositarinaa tekoälyavusteisesta softakehityksestä ja vaihtamaan ajatuksia softakehityksen tulevaisuudesta.
I puheenvuoro
**Lenni Ojala,** *Relex Solutions*
**Uudistumista kaaosvoimin – mitä tapahtuu, kun AI-kokeilu päätetään tehdä isosti?**
AI-työkalut kehittyvät kuukausissa. Organisaatiot muuttuvat yleensä hitaammin. Mitä jos ei lähdetä pieniin piloteihin — vaan päätetään tietoisesti avata kokeilu laajasti?
RELEXillä tehtiin valinta: tuotepuolen ihmisille annettiin mahdollisuus kokeilla AI:ta featureiden tekemisessä kunnolla. Ei varovasti sivussa, vaan osana oikeaa tekemistä, end-to-end.
Lenni Ojala kertoo, miten tällainen kokeilu johdetaan määrätietoisesti:
* Miten päätös laajasta kokeilusta tehtiin?
* Miten luotiin rakenteet, jotka mahdollistavat nopean - oppimisen?
* Miten varmistettiin, ettei tiimin aikaansaaminen hajoa?
* Missä kohtaa kokeilu muuttuu toimintatavaksi?
Taustalla kulkee myös näkökulma luovuuteen ja ongelmanratkaisuun: Lenni on opiskellut systeemistä luovuutta ja tuo mukaan ajatuksen siitä, että luovuus ei ole sattumaa — se on rakennettavissa oleva kyvykkyys. AI voi toimia katalyyttina, mutta vain jos ympäristö tukee oppimista ja psykologista turvallisuutta.
II puheenvuoro
**Janne Oksanen**, *Museokortti &* **Tommi Sinivuo**\*, Wonna\*
**Case Museokortti: Uusi ominaisuus Salesforce-ratkaisuun viidessä päivässä?**
Voiko täysin uuden ominaisuuden rakentaa viidessä päivässä tekoälyavusteisesti ympäristössä ja koodipohjassa, joita devaajat eivät entuudestaan tunne?
Museokortin järjestelmäpäällikkö Janne Oksanen päätti lähteä testaamaan tätä yhdessä Wonnan kanssa: mitä tapahtuu, kun vahva tuoteomistajuus ja syvä domain-osaaminen yhdistetään tekoälyavusteiseen kehitykseen.
Kyse ei siis ollut pienestä kokeilusta, vaan oikeasta ominaisuudesta useamman käyttöliittymän palveluun. Salesforce on keskeinen osa Museokortin järjestelmäkokonaisuutta. Museokortin kehitystiimillä on vahva domain-osaaminen sekä syvä ymmärrys omasta ympäristöstään. Wonnan kehittäjillä taas ei ollut aiempaa kokemusta Salesforcesta. Uskottiin silti, että on mahdollisuus onnistua - ainakin oppimaan.
Nopeuttaako tekoäly riittävästi teknologia-alustan haltuunottoa?
Kuinka pitkälle vahva domain-ymmärrys kantaa?
Case-esittelyssä avataan:
* Mitä tekoälyltä odotettiin etukäteen
* Mitä oikeasti tehtiin
* Mitä opittiin
* Mitkä odotukset toteutuivat ja mitkä eivät
* Mitä kysymysmerkkejä jäi
* Mitä seuraavaksi
**Kenelle ja miksi?**
Meetup tarjoaa ajatuksenruokaa devaajille ja heitä johtaville ihmisille siitä, mikä jo nyt on mahdollista, ja kuinka näihin mahdollisuuksiin kannattaisi softakehitystiimien tarttua.
Tarjolla on pitsaa ja virvokkeita.
Tämä sessio vedetään suomeksi.
Meetupia ei nauhoiteta.
*Wonna-meetupien tavoite on tuoda ohjelmistoalan ihmiset yhteen oppimaan ja inspiroimaan toisiaan, jotta softatiimit pystyisivät tehokkaammin vastaamaan asiakkaiden ja markkinoiden muuttuviin tarpeisiin – tinkimättä ammattiylpeydestä, työnilosta ja hyvästä elämästä.*
