❀ : ┈┈ ‧₊˚ ♡ ₊˚‧ ┈┈ : ❀ ♡ :「 Intro 」 The familiar sound of the schoolbell rings across the campus… it’s time for another year at Scratch Design College! Hello, designers :0 welcome to the start of the upcoming December 2025 session of SDC! If you’re looking to (co)lead a cabin this time around, you’re in the right place! If you are planning to apply, please make sure to read through the entirety of this description, no matter if you’ve led a cabin before. Click the screen or use arrow keys to advance! ^^ If the project doesn't load on your device for whatever reason, feel free to reference the text version here <3 https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/8755783/ Keep in mind that your app should still be a remix of this project to count! ❀ : ┈┈ ‧₊˚ ♡ ₊˚‧ ┈┈ : ❀ ♡ :「 FAQ 」 “So… what is SDC?” Scratch Design Camp, or simply SDC, is a triannual virtual camp which runs in April, August, and December, right here on Scratch! This camp was created as a place for like-minded individuals to engage in a month filled with fun activities, friendly competition, and also serves as a platform for learning and continuous improvement <3 ┈┈ “What are the responsibilities of a (co)leader?” (Co)Leaders should: ◦ Maintain a healthy balance between camp and real life, as well as encouraging campers to do the same ◦ Contribute to the planning and development of your cabin ◦ Oversee the cabin and address any questions that campers may have. If you are unsure of your answer, direct the question to the host(s) ◦ Update cabin minute counts every so often, and be responsible for totalling up counts at the end of the session ┈┈ “How do I apply?” Simply remix this project with your answers! Most apps incorporate a theme featuring redesigned slides, but this is by no means compulsory. Text-based apps are completely acceptable, but do keep in mind that this is a design camp and so apps are also judged on the creativity factor ^^ Don’t worry about it having to be perfect and polished though, this extra touch is mainly to showcase your personality! ┈┈ “What are the cabins?” The cabin lineup each session is decided based off leader app interest and/or the session theme - this session, there will be four cabins, each a wing of the Scratch Design College dorms! ◦ North Wing ◦ East Wing ◦ South Wing ◦ West Wing Leaders and cos will be in charge of naming the house of their wing as well as deciding on theming! It’d be amazing if you could leave ideas of what your house/dorm might look like when stating preferences <3 ┈┈ “I've never led in a previous camp before, nor had much leading experience outside of Scratch. Would that affect my chances of getting selected?” Like most other camps, leaders will be selected based off answer quality and honesty, as well as creativity in your apps. However, having more prior leading experience does not put you at a significantly higher spot when applying- especially in smaller camps, we always like to offer opportunities to those who haven’t had a chance somewhere else. ┈┈ “Can I apply if I’ve never participated in SDC at all?” Of course! Anyone and everyone is welcome to apply, though we do suggest having a bit of experience in SDC or other Scratch camps, just to better prepare you for what to expect during the session <3 ┈┈ “Do we have co-leaders?” As we are a smaller camp, we cannot guarantee having co-leaders in every cabin, although you can always choose to make your application for co-leader only by checking off the box on the last question ^^ Similarly, leaders will be able to choose whether they want one co or no cos at all, so some cabins might end up with cos and some without. ❀ : ┈┈ ‧₊˚ ♡ ₊˚‧ ┈┈ : ❀
❀ : ┈┈ ‧₊˚ ♡ ₊˚‧ ┈┈ : ❀ ♡ :「 FAQ (cont.) 」 “Are collaborative applications allowed?” As a general rule, you are not allowed to team up with anyone to create your application, so no ^^;; However, using a small part of others' work is completely fine as long as it is credited properly and that majority of what you're sharing is the work of your own ideas. ┈┈ “When is my application due? Are there extensions for if I can’t submit it on time?” All applications must be submitted before October 20, 2025, midnight UTC to count! Extensions can be granted on an individual basis, but only for a maximum of 24 hours with a valid reason (eg. technical issues, unexpected plans that you have not been notified earlier of). This will also make you ineligible for a leader position, meaning your application will only be for co-leader. If you would like to request an extension, please head over to this session’s extension request project (linked below)! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1223925418 ┈┈ “What if I don’t want to lead a cabin but still want to participate in SDC?” No worries! Camper signups will be shared on Summer @freeIy’s profile on November 1st - if you would like to be notified when they release, leave a comment on Encryn @28thDimension’s profile! ┈┈ “When will leaders be chosen?” Leaders will be announced shortly (anywhere within 1-3 days) after the original deadline! And that’s about it ^^ Any other questions you may have can be directed to the comments below or on a host’s profile. We look forward to seeing what you’ll create! <3 ❀ : ┈┈ ‧₊˚ ♡ ₊˚‧ ┈┈ : ❀ ♡ :「 Credits 」 ◦ SWC and other camps for inspiration on the camp, as well as the project description! ◦ Summer @freeIy, Encryn @28thDimension, and Yume @yumetopia for hosting this session, and Yume for designing the slides ◦ Canva for existing (aka yume used it for the slides and can’t find a better way to phrase this so here you go pfft) ◦ TKDB for the cat emote ^^ (and also definitely not indirect inspiration for some of the vocab used..) ◦ Everyone who’s helped make SDC what it is today :00 full credits can be found in this forum below <33 https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/8380830/ ♫ : 11gatsu no Anklet ~ AKB48 Team TP ♫ : Yuuhi wo Miteru ka? ~ AKB48 Team TP ♫ : 你會等我嗎? / Will you wait for me? ~ AKB48 Team TP (..this project is a literal team tp shrine. stan team sh and team tp <333 i am definitely not going to add the entirety of sentimental train and 11gatsu no anklet EPs into this session’s projects..) ❀ : ┈┈ ‧₊˚ ♡ ₊˚‧ ┈┈ : ❀
