This camp was created as a place for like-minded individuals to engage in a month filled with fun activities, friendly competition, and serve as a platform for learning and continuous improvement. ꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷ “What kind of designs count for minutes/activity submissions?” Any type of designing as long as it is created or curated by you with your own thoughts counts! This includes but is not limited to: 　◦　graphic design 　◦　making moodboards or collages 　◦　interior design 　◦　product design 　◦　character design (yes, drawing can be classified as designing if it is your newly created original idea and design) , and more. You can create your designs on ANY platform or medium, digital or physical! If you are unsure as to whether something counts, you can ask one of the hosts on their profile. ꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷ “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), and 　◦　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 therefore apps may also be judged on the creativity factor :) Of course, no need to worry about it having to be perfectly polished, this extra touch is mainly to showcase your personality! ꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷ “What are the cabins?” The cabin lineup each session is decided based off our session theme and leader interest! This session we’re keeping the options pretty open, so please specify any and all you’d be interested in leading (including those that fit the theme but might not be mentioned here! The final set of session themes will be decided based off most common preferences from the selected leaders. 　◦　Chocolate Factory locations - Inventing Room, Television Room, Candy Boat etc. 　◦　Flavours - sweet, sour, salty, bitter etc. 　◦　Types of chocolate/dessert - toffee, truffles, macarons, lollipops etc. 　◦　whatever your pure imagination comes up with ;) Please note that these are only names– Cabin leadership teams still reserve the final decisions on how to theme the cabin, and being in a different cabin doesn’t change the type of design you’re allowed to do ^^. ꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷ “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, 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 as we are a relatively smaller camp that aims to offer opportunities to those who might not have 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 ;) ˚⊹ ꒦︶꒦꒷︶꒷꒦ ‧₊˚⊹ ꒷꒦︶꒦︶꒷꒦ ‧₊
