Open Day for Local Participants
Alongside the week-long programme for international students, the 2021 edition opened two elements to local participants from Tenerife: the round-table conference at ULL (Tuesday) and the final pitch presentations in Santa Cruz (Friday). This was an early, informal version of what later became a recurring ambition for the Bootcamp: a dedicated workshop day that lets local students and professionals join the international cohort for a single, focused day rather than the full week.
