Welcome to the second-ever Scratch Science Camp (SSC) Leader Applications! This is for the November 2021 session! 0.2 - - - ● Press space for the next slide and remix with your answers to apply 0.3 - - - ● Please read the whole thing even if you have participated :) ● 1. What is SSC? ● Scratch Science Camp (referred to as SSC) is a triannual online science camp. It is right here on Scratch, and runs the months of February, July, and November! All participants set a minute goal for time spent on science, and try to achieve that goal by the end of the month. You will be sorted into one of 4+ cabins, and you can complete dailies and weeklies to try to earn points for your cabin. It is completely virtual, so you can spend as long or as little as you like on per day! ● 2. When is my (co) leader application due, and when will you be deciding (co) leaders? ● Your app is due September 20th (edt). On September 21 - 22 Umi, Milky, and I will be deciding (co) leaders! ● 3. How do (co) leaders work? ● Umi, Milky, and I decide the leaders for each cabin, and then those cabin leaders must choose 2 co leader's out of all the applications. Again, the leaders choose their co's, not the hosts. If you only want to be a co-leader, please tell us that in your application, and you may not advertise your app to chosen leaders. Also, if you aren't chosen to be a leader, your app then becomes a co-leader app. ● 4. What's the difference between leaders and co-leaders? ● Leaders are more 'in charge' of the cabin. They have more responsibility than co-leaders. They may need to help make decisions, and they will be promoted in the main cabin, while co-leaders aren't. Leaders and co-leaders typically both add words in their own cabins and are managers in their own cabin. ● 5. What are the cabins? ● Archaeology - Astronomy - Botany - Chemistry (Chem) - Ecology (Eco) - Genetics - Geology (Geo) - Mechanics - Physics (Phys) ● Your cabin name is just a name, you can be interested and do work in any science field! ● 6. Are there backup cabins? ● Not right now due to the low turnout last session but we will if needed <3 ● 7. Why do you need to know if I have participated in SWC or SAC before? ● SSC will be a lot like SWC and SAC, and if you have experience in those, you will be a lot more qualified for the position. SWC and SAC will give you an idea of how SSC will work. ● 8. When can I sign up as a camper? ● October 1st! ● 9. Why do I need to include my time zone? ● We would like a variety of timezones so that adding points and words is easier. This is a very small factor of your app, but it is important. ● 10. How do you communicate with leaders and co's? ● We will be using a scratch discussion forum. ● 11. How will I know if you see my application? ● Umi, Milky, and I will love all of the apps, and we will most likely comment on all of them! Since I receive a notification any time you remix, you do not need to link your app in the comments. ● 12. Can I be notified when camper sign-ups are out? ● Yup! Just ask in the comments! ● 13. What if I'm already participating in SWC, SAC, SNC, or SPC during this? ● Like earlier stated, you can spend as much time or as little on SSC as you like. It should not take time away from SWC/SAC, and you should be able to do both! ● 14. May I change my app. before the deadline? ● Of course! We'll be looking through all the apps again on the deadlines, and improvements are encouraged! ● 15. How will you judge the applications? ● We will judging apps by unique ideas, the quality of your answers (detail), creativity, your personality, and your responsibility/maturity. We will also be more likely to pick (co) leaders who have experience in SWC, SAC, SNC, or SPC. They have an idea of how things will be run! Also, the more time you spend on your app, the more likely you are to be picked. That means you might delete all of the sprites already in, and create your own, unique way of answering. If you just fill in your answers on the slide, and change nothing else, you are less likely to be chosen. Themes are a great way to get started! Your theme could be anything! ● 16. How will we change the word count due to the new studio update? ● We will use the same system as SWC, find their system here: 0.4 - - - What to do example: (by the wonderful(ish(/j)) Milky) What NOT to do examples: 0.5 - - - Thumb ● Canva ● Me Background ● Google Creator of SSC ● SSC gHosts ● ● ● SSC coHosts ● ● SSC Host ● Inspiration ● SWC ● SAC Music ● Alexander Hamilton Instrumental ● Hamilton ● Good luck!
