Objective:

The objective of Task 4 is to confirm all instructors, facilitators, and guest speakers for the Technology and Gaming Camps and ensure they have all the necessary materials, equipment, and logistical information for their sessions. This task ensures that the camp sessions will run smoothly with expert facilitation and that all technical and educational requirements are met.

1. Coordination with Instructors:

a. Confirm Instructor Availability:

Timeline: Reach out to all instructors at least 4-6 weeks before the camp to confirm their availability, schedule, and willingness to lead the sessions.
Instructor List: Create a comprehensive list of all instructors based on the camp’s curriculum, including coding instructors, eSports facilitators, and design experts.
Session Assignment: Ensure that each instructor is assigned to the appropriate session based on their expertise, such as coding for beginners, advanced game development, or VR/AR workshops.

b. Provide Detailed Session Plans:

Curriculum Alignment: Share detailed lesson plans and session schedules for each instructor, so they know the specific topics to cover and the timing of their sessions.
Session Goals and Objectives: Provide clear instructions regarding the desired learning outcomes for each session, ensuring that instructors understand the camp’s focus on hands-on learning, interactivity, and participant engagement.
Material Requirements: Identify and communicate any required teaching materials, such as textbooks, handouts, coding software, or specific game development platforms, and confirm that the instructors have access to these resources.

c. Equipment and Technology:

Tech Setup: Ensure that all necessary equipment (computers, projectors, VR headsets, etc.) is available and functioning properly for each instructor’s session.
Software Needs: Verify that all required software (e.g., coding platforms, game engines, eSports tournament software) is pre-installed and ready to use.
Technical Support: Confirm that instructors know who to contact for technical support if any issues arise with the equipment or software during their session.

d. Communication and Support:

Pre-Camp Orientation: Organize a virtual or in-person orientation session for instructors to meet, discuss the camp’s overall objectives, and clarify any questions they may have.
Ongoing Support: Provide contact information for camp staff who can assist instructors during the camp and ensure smooth delivery of their sessions.

2. Coordination with Guest Speakers:

a. Confirm Guest Speaker Availability:

Speaker List: Compile a list of all guest speakers who will contribute to the camp’s keynote sessions, panel discussions, or specialized workshops.
Confirmation: Confirm each speaker’s participation and availability on the scheduled date(s), ensuring they are aligned with the camp’s objectives and target audience.
Speaker Profiles: Collect speaker bios and session topics for promotional purposes, so they can be included in marketing materials and on the camp website.

b. Provide Speaker Information:

Session Expectations: Clearly communicate the structure and expectations for each guest speaker’s session, including the duration, audience size, and key themes.
Tech Requirements: Confirm any technical requirements for the speaker’s presentation, such as microphones, projectors, or special software tools (e.g., presentation slides, virtual collaboration platforms).
Logistical Information: Ensure that speakers are provided with all necessary logistical information, including their session’s time and location, directions to the venue (if in-person), or instructions for connecting to virtual platforms (if online).

c. Speaker Support:

Pre-Camp Briefing: Organize a briefing call with all guest speakers to go over the session format, technology setup, and any questions they might have.
Engagement with Participants: Encourage guest speakers to interact with participants both during and after their presentations, whether through Q&A sessions, workshops, or live chats.
Post-Speaker Feedback: After the session, provide guest speakers with feedback from campers and staff to ensure continued improvement for future sessions.

3. Materials and Equipment Preparation:

a. Verify Instructor Materials:

Curriculum Packs: Ensure that all instructors have access to the relevant curriculum materials, such as slides, instructional handouts, coding exercises, and project templates.
Digital Tools: Provide instructors with access to any digital tools they will need, such as cloud-based platforms for coding or game development.
Printed Materials: If required, arrange for printed materials to be provided to campers for certain sessions (e.g., guides for specific software, eSports tournament rules).

b. Equipment Check:

Camp Equipment Inventory: Review the inventory of camp equipment (computers, VR headsets, consoles, etc.) and ensure that all devices are in good working order.
Testing Sessions: Arrange for a dry run or test day for all equipment to ensure that instructors and guest speakers have access to functioning tools.
Backup Equipment: Plan for backup equipment (e.g., additional laptops, chargers, or microphones) to be available in case of any technical difficulties during camp.

4. Logistics and Final Details:

a. Travel and Accommodation (For In-Person Speakers):

Travel Arrangements: For guest speakers traveling from outside the local area, coordinate their travel arrangements, including flights, transportation, and accommodations (if necessary).
Reimbursement: Ensure that guest speakers are aware of the reimbursement process for any travel-related expenses or honoraria.

b. Session Timing and Flow:

Detailed Schedule: Provide a final schedule to all instructors and guest speakers, outlining each session’s start and end times, breaks, and transitions.
Session Duration: Confirm the duration of each session to ensure it fits within the overall camp schedule and maintains a smooth flow throughout the day.

c. On-Site Support:

Staff Assistance: Assign dedicated camp staff to provide on-site support for instructors and guest speakers, including helping with setting up equipment, managing time, and assisting with any technical issues.
Session Reminders: Send reminder emails or messages to instructors and guest speakers about their upcoming sessions, ensuring they arrive on time and are fully prepared.

5. Communication and Follow-up:

a. Regular Check-ins:

Bi-weekly Updates: Schedule bi-weekly check-ins with all instructors and guest speakers leading up to the camp to ensure that any potential issues are addressed.
Final Confirmation: Send a final confirmation email to all instructors and guest speakers one week before the camp, reiterating session details, equipment needs, and expectations.

b. Post-Camp Follow-up:

After the camp ends, ensure that all instructors and guest speakers receive a thank-you note along with a request for feedback on their experience, so improvements can be made for future camps.
