Magdalena Halska, a student from the Faculty of Health Sciences, and Kaja Tyszkiewicz from the Faculty of Medicine were among the winners of the 14th edition of BraveCamp Incubator UW, which is open to students and doctoral students WUM.

During the BraveCamp Gala, viewers had the opportunity to see how many diverse projects and innovative ideas are being implemented by enterprising students from our university and the University of Warsaw, Kozminski University, Warsaw University of Technology, and the Military University of Technology.

For almost a week, participants worked intensively on their original projects. Twelve finalists presented the results of their work: 6 in the business track and 6 in the social track. Each of them presented their idea in a 3-minute pitch, followed by a 2-minute Q&A session with the jury and the audience.

Magdalena Halska, who is studying midwifery, received two awards: the Special Award and the Audience Award. Magda is the creator of the project “My cycle, my everyday life.” These are workshops that teach teenagers to understand the impact of their cycle on their mood and how to cope with pain by strengthening their self-awareness.

Kaja Tyszkiewicz, a medical student, also won two awards: the Special Award and the UWRC Sp. z o.o. Award.
