read me!!!

Hi!! This is a temporary popup to explain my YSWS idea a little further or the reasoning behind it. Basically, this YSWS is somewhat a continuation or V2 of Construct (in that its focused on CAD), but there are definitely differences!

Throughout my time at Hack Club, I’ve noticed how vibrant and diverse the community is, and I especially love that everyone in Hack Club has interests and passions in different niches within or outside of technology: some I’ve encountered include art, photography, architecture, fashion, music, editing, animation, interior design / design in general, etc. I’m also really interested in industrial design and manufacturing, and it’s definitely something I want to pursue in college and beyond!

This would be a great way to reach out to Hack Club’s (many, many) artists, and also a beginner-friendly YSWS, and also something I feel like girls from the Athena Initiative would enjoy! Not to be stereotypical or anything (sob) but as a girl myself I feel like a art/design centered YSWS that still has technical elements like this one seems like a lot more fun but less intimidating way to get into tech/CAD.

So, this YSWS was my best attempt to combine these interests while still maintaining quality. Specifically, I want to do outreach for this YSWS to bring in people with passions in architecture, fashion, etc to help more people join Hack Club! I actually asked some of my friends outside of Hack Club who have interests in these subjects for advice on what type of prizes or YSWS program they would do, and I think they’d definitely be interested in participating in this YSWS if it runs. It’d be also be interesting to do outreach and reach out to youtubers/content creators like youtuber @mxddsie and some tiktokers/insta influencers I watch like @jessie.garcia27 and @innovativethanh !

very VERY rough figma outline of how i wanted to layout content on this website, and also decided colorscheme - used the campfire template for efficiency but obviously on my real website changed it up!canva background design!enitre planning process on google docs!

how it works

1. pick a track/fruit

choose your fruit! in this YSWS, you will learn how to use CAD in different types of projects: from fashion, architecture, 3d rendered art/gfx's, video editing, web development, and so much more.

2. create a project

create projects in your track! see these logs/guides to help you step outside of your comfort zone and potentially make projects in a track you've never thought about before.

3. log your hours

make sure to log your hours coded using Hackatime or Lapse! you can spend up to 30% of shipped hours doing art, and up to 30% of shipped hours using AI.

4. ship it!

to count a project as "shipped", it must have a deployed, experienceable link/.stl file and a open-source Github repository link, with regular/hourly commits to Github

5. get prizes!!!!

get all sorts of prizes for hours shipped! prize options are below (shop coming soon) and please dm me on Slack at @adishree for any suggestions!
