The theme of Boot Camp 2025: Innovation for rebuilding of Ukraine๐๐
In 2.5 months, the teams will be able to implement entrepreneurial and innovative ideas aimed at rebuilding the infrastructure and developing the economy of Ukraine.
The mentor is a couch, not a customer
How do you combine the roles of a mentor who is supposed to support the team and show them the best way, and a customer who makes 100 edits every second? This year, the customers of the products are people outside the team: public organizations or a representative of the mentor’s company who knows all the details of the project.
Who is our ideal mentor?
๐ฃ๏ธ A Boot Camp 2025 mentor is an IT professional who is ready to devote up to 4 hours a week to the team, share their experience, and support participants in their work on projects.
