Think Helsinki, Think! (THT!) is a charity promoting scientific and critical thinking through events and actions, such as funding and building educational tools for kids
and supporting research with communications and donations.

O U R M I S S I O N
Our mission is to make people think, to start trusting science again, to question what they read, see and hear and to encourage others to do the same.
For sanity, for questioning the world around us, and helping people understand and to think.

We raise funds for this cause through several means, the biggest being our single day events in Helsinki, Finland that bring together great minds
in science and critical thinking, scientists, lecturers, comedians, and all the rest of us for one night.
The events have two purposes: to create awareness and to raise funds for the charity.

Our message was noticed in media big time. Helsingin sanomat, YleX, Yle Aamu-tv, Strada, Iltalehti, Radio Nova, Radio Rock etc...
And the most important thing is that the feedback from our audience has been marvellous.

Jamie MacDonald is a Canadian-Finnish actor and comedian, known for his surreal style of comedy.

We already have great partners, like Sanoma and Google giving us over $250,000 in media spend. All of our events and activities will be streamed live online for everyone.
Think Helsinki, Think! has three types of sponsors: Those who support us financially, those who provide us services for free or for a discounted rate and those who we like and like to promote.
Our sponsor packages start from 2000 euros and every cent helps us to make better events and help the world think more and better.

In our April event 3 Kaverin Jäätelö gave out close to 200 kilos of free ice cream at the event, should you be there too?
We also have a gift bag that we want to make the best there is. If you have a prod-uct you think would fit in the bag, contact us and we'll talk more whether it does.

Our events are only the spearhead of our activities. We are planning a weekly sci-ence show together with a media company and a monthly stand-up club and public challenges (like The One Million Dollar Challenge we have with The James Randi
Educational Foundation).
We are also planning educational materials for web and mobile devices.

So we have a pretty good knowledge on what can and should be done, but we’re open to changes and negotiations.
We’re cool like that.
