The NouHätä! competition will be held online this year. The schedule of the two-stage online competition has changed. The qualifiers will be held between 12 and 23 April, and the finals will take place on Thursday 20 May.
The online competition is open to Year 8 pupils in teams of three. All schools that have registered to participate the campaign will be invited to the qualifiers. The best teams in the rescue areas, or a total of 22 teams, will make it to the finals. The qualifying teams will be invited to the finals separately.
The tasks in the competition will be based on the learning materials provided as part of the NouHätä! campaign, but some tasks will also test the teams’ general knowledge. Instructions on how to participate in the competition and login credentials will be sent directly to participating schools roughly a week before the competition starts.
