HIGH-UP! 2026 · WE ARE RECRUITING
Volunteering
Mentor
Push a team further than it would get alone.
You walk the floor and sit down with teams: sharpen the problem, question the solution, open a door they did not know was there. Founders, operators, researchers, teachers, anyone who has built something.
A COUPLE OF HOURS OR A WHOLE DAY

Make two days run on time for 500 people.
Check-in, rooms, food, moving groups from A to B, being the person who knows where things are. The event stands on the crew. No experience needed, just two days and a cool head.
ONE OR BOTH DAYS

Four reasons to give us two days.
Twenty minutes with the right mentor is the difference between a project that ends on Friday and one that gets built in December.
500 of the most driven teenagers in Finland, from Rovaniemi to Turku, before anyone else has their number.
Slush week, on the Aalto campus, next to the founders, investors and teachers who back the event.
Travel, meals and a kit are on us. Give the hours you have and be home by the weekend.
Signing up is not a confirmation. We read every one and get in touch with the people we pick, by email, well before the event. Already signed up? See where it stands.
