The 6th Student Startup Camp (SSC) took place on 5th to 9th of February in Tartu. The annual entrepreneurship boot camp designed to build your idea into a working prototype was organized by Garage48, UT IdeaLab and UT Institute of Computer Science and it brought together around 120 students! Student Startup Camp ended with pitching competition that was won by team DreamField. 

Team DreamField led by Juri Volodin helps farmers increase production and earn more whilst saving the environment by utilizing a novel method of soil analysis to fight overfertilization. 

The camp started on Tuesday with 90-second idea pitches. Everyone who had an idea got a chance to present it and find teammates. Out of 18 ideas pitched in the beginning 14 were kept and teams started to develop them to Minimum Viable Products. 

Teams worked hard, met with mentors (Kai Isand, Mari Hanikat, Mihkel Pukk, Maret Kruve, Chris Thompson) and heard talks from different startup founders and field experts. The camp ended on Saturday with a pitching competition where all the teams presented their products/services and progress made during the camp. The judges were Maret Ahonen (UT IdeaLab), Maret Kruve (Garage48, Pipedrive), Sven Parkel (Tartu Biotechnology Park), Jaana Metsamaa (Pipedrive) and Martin Vares (Fractory.co).
