Bootcamp

Warsaw
Multiple bootcamps took place all across Europe. Baltic Freya had the pleasure to participate in the Warsaw bootcamp. Awesome two day training by Hans Westerhof, multiple assignments, tough competition, but Baltic Freya is proud to say that the idea of Fogponics 2.0 has passed to the next phase of the competition!
Training

Baltic Freya took a step forward in the competition – from 30 EIT Food teams that participated in the bootcamps, only 17 passed to the next phase – Local Training. The training started with an online warm up and proceeded into multiple day physical training sessions that took place in Kaunas city and was organised by KTU (Kaunas Technology University). Our team is grateful for valuable insights, good advice and all the help that we have received!
