What is Buzzy Bee's Banner Bootcamp?
Buzzy Bee's Banner Bootcamp (BBBB) is a camp hosted by the shop Buzzy Bee Banners here on Scratch. In our Banner Bootcamp sessions, bootcampers create banners based on a given theme each day. They then receive feedback from our skilled Mentors. They're also given a challenge to attempt the next day. Banner Bootcamp helps both beginner and more advanced banner makers improve their skills in graphic design! In our Mentor In Training (MIT) sessions, advanced banner makers can learn how to be a BBBB Mentor in future sessions. MITs will critique banners that past bootcampers have produced, and then will get feedback from our skilled Mentors on their critiques.

Summer 2021 Session Overview
- July 6 to 8 (Tuesday to Thursday): MIT session
- July 12 to 16 (Monday to Friday): Everybody Camp

Session Details
MIT Session: Learn how to be a BBBB Mentor in our MIT session this summer! Each day, you will critique a banner that a past bootcamper has created, and then receive feedback on your critique. MITs may get the opportunity to be a Mentor in BBBB sessions later in the summer. MITs must have attended at least one BBBB Banner Camp session in the past.

Everybody Camp: Learn how to make better banners, no matter your current skill set! Banner makers of all experience levels can come together in this session to learn from each other and their Mentors. Each day, you will create a banner based on a given theme and then receive feedback on that banner. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join!

Advanced Camp: Designed specifically for more advanced banner makers, Advanced Camp comprises more challenging themes and more in depth feedback. Each day, you will create a banner based on a given theme and then receive feedback on that banner. Advanced Camp is open to everyone, but it is encouraged that you check in with clove to make sure this session is for you.

Hi there! I don't think you've participated in any previous BBBB sessions before - you have to before you sign up for MITs (I believe-)
