All University of Turku, Åbo Akademi University, Turku UAS and Novia UAS students in science and technology can apply to become mentors.
The number of mentors will range from 20 to 30, based on the number of teams in the contest. Mentors will be selected based on their study background and order of application. If the number of mentor applicants is greater than the number of teams in the contest, there will also be an interview before selection.
