Experiences with Summer Camp Communication via Discord
Teamwork and communication skills are essential for those entering the workforce, especially for software development positions. For remote development positions, the ability to work with a team and communicate remotely through a communication tool are important skills that are generally not taught in standard university courses. In this experience report, we discuss our experience using Discord for communication and collaboration during our virtual summer camp focused on teaching teamwork and game design to 27 autistic high school students. Overall, we found using Discord beneficial in many ways that we did not anticipate, including quicker instructor coordination, improved socialization, and more. Additionally, we provide recommendations for those who may want to use Discord in a similar virtual environment.
