Sex & Alcohol car
I suppose we should be more realistic and have some special place for drinking alcohol and having sex without disturbing other people; because as for me it is impossible for young people to live such a long time (at least 7 days) without any sex and alcohol!

Spread the wave - the radio wave....
We could use possible open wifi APs during the stops if we can't get satellite connectivity. Or if we have the connectivity, we could share it. The shining beacon of uncensored freedom on tracks :)

AOT FM - Radio station on the train
Not my original idea though (someone else had this on the brainstorming @DF) - but I like it. Announcements on the days activities and other content. Would be distributed by in-train wifi-lan to speakers and laptops everywhere.

No wave left behind - RFID tags to those who want them
A system that could be used to track who have come back to the train and who are still in siberia would be pretty easy to do. Something to experiment with. Tech is fun :p

TEDxTrain
We definitely need our own TEDx. At least we should watch TED videos on the train.

100 people. Who is on the train?
If the train stops and people get out of it there has to be some kind of plan to count that we have 100 people on the train when we leave.
As a technical person I shall give one technical idea:
RFID tags for everyone (need a RFID maker to be a sponsor if you want this to be almost free).
Now if we have RFID tags that contain data from 1 to 100 we can know who is not on the train.
Put something like this on the doors (and on windows for engineers): http://www.eng.tau.ac.il/~yash/kw-usenix06/index.html

Show to the world your thoughts with style!
Shanghai World Expo is a great opportunity to show to the world your thoughts… So, let’s do it with style!
The idea is that we design our own shirt or shoes or both from scratch in one evening during the train journey and then dress them during the Shanghai World Expo!... The theme of the design is open and what comes to my mind now it could be for instance about Aalto University, or our dreams, or how excited we are to join the Shanghai World Expo, or just anything that shows our own style (not to mention that offensive…

Participant book*
Before the trip make a book with all participants' photos and some basic information on them. Like name, contact information, favourite music style, favourite food etc. This book could be used both for tailoring the events during the trip and for learning about the people at first. Especially it can be helpful for connecting faces with names :D
*Just debriefing, what came up today in a workshop.

I'm singing in the train...
just singing in the train, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again! Either with somebody playing a guitar, with sing star or karaoke equipment or just singing. We can even have this competition "suohonlaulanta" where teams get a theme and they try to list (and sing) as many songs of the theme as possible.

VPN subscription need, perhaps
You want to get a VPN beforehand if you want guaranteed access to your Facebook etc. Chances are most sites will be unblocked for the duration of the Expo but you can't be sure. This time it's like 5 months, not several weeks like in '08.

IT infrastructure from Nokia, Cisco etc.
To take the maximum from the innovation potential of 100 excellent students we need to have an IT infrastructure that supports it. This infrastructure should be mobile, flexible and robust. For example, if we are going to set up a workshop in some local community building with less than good IT we should be able to easily set up projectors, printers and WLAN (which would also be able to connect to our main servers on the train 5-10 kilometers away to transmit/store pictures, video etc) etc. This is an excellent way to show everybody that Finland is No. 1 country…

Promoting Aalto and Finland en route
While stopping at different locations and towns, "Aalto on track" could have (in cooperation with local university or government) a short seminar/workshop/lecture where we could talk about Finland and the Aalto University. For example, we could present our research and share ideas with students from local universities or have a screening of Finnish movies at a local community center.

Company logos on the train!
One way to attract corporate sponsorship would be to allow our sponsors to decorate the train from the outside! In this way our train would stand out and attract attention. What better way to advertise a company than to have it's logo on a train full of excellent people :)
Also a huge "Aalto" logo on the side of the train ...7 votes -
Toy factory on tracks
Making traditional Finnish, Russian and Chinese toys, thematic workshops is at least a good time-spending. All the toys made during the trip can be presented on the exhibition in China, Russia, Finland... maybe in Mongolia :)
Toys are things which were maybe first made by human being after invention a wheel. Toys have very important cultural aspect, and at least there will be more presents for people who will be met during the trip.6 votes -
Talk, talk, talk
Talking about things is often dismissed as a poor use of time. Why talk, when you can do? While confined to a moving tin can, there's very little space and limited resources to DO stuff, but what those paticipating have(and in plentitude, I might add) – is time. Time to talk.
I propose profound, themed discussion. Innovation was called for on some program ideas, but I suggest that, in addition to idea sharing and goal-oriented interaction, there would be discussion on a more general level.
A trainful of smart young adults of various disciplines would surely benefit from a discussion…

Original research
When a 100 or so bright young students go on a journey together, one should expect something more than just generic travel documentation. Photos, diaries and such are of course important and valuable, but this kind of an adventure offers great possibilities for something even greater – in the true sprit of an expedition.
I propose miniature research projects for all participants. See the special environement of the train from the angle of your expertise – or perhaps try doing research in someone else's field? In “tongue-in-cheek” -style or maybe something more profound – the choice is yours.

Something for everyone to craft
I propose a small crafting project – a hand made memento – for all those participating. Preferably simple, doable(even for us not-so-crafty), customizable, somehow related to the journey, eco-friendly, timeless, remarkable, magical, legendary and so on.
Perhaps something about trains, the journey, the expo, the countries.
Maybe Haibao(the expo mascot) as the basis?
