Editing Orientation Guide - First Week (section)

== Attend a Signal Cartel Academy Talk ==

The aim of the [[SCA:Signal_Cartel_Academy | Signal Cartel Academy (SCA)]] is to provide a way to share the wealth of knowledge already present within our ranks with those that might need it. There are aspects of this that are inherently linked with what we specifically do (like our [[ESR:EvE-Scout_Rescue|EvE-Scout Rescue Division]] activities) and others that are more generic and related to the understanding of game mechanics as a whole. Regardless of the reason, the SCA aims to assist new and returning Signaleers with a way to ask for (and offer) help in order to tap into the knowledge held by fellow corp members.

SCA offers two types of educational sessions:
* Coffee Time - a weekly informal Sunday chat centered loosely around a particular topic. ☕
* Classes - more formal and structured classroom-style lectures.

Check out Discord <code>'''Events'''</code> (located at the top of the channel list) for upcoming Coffee Times and Classes.

SCA Discord Session Channels:

* <code>[https://discord.com/channels/152437634927427584/647770316931727379 #sca-campus]</code> is a place share your knowledge and skills and learn from others.  This channel is also used for text chat during ⁠talks/presentations.

Have a particular topic that interests you and don't see it?  Requesting a "class" is extremely easy by creating a [NEED] titled new post in our <code>[https://discord.com/channels/152437634927427584/1128416903992459274 🗪education-need-offer]</code> forum channel.

* On the other side of the spectrum, everyone is also likewise encouraged to volunteer their time to share their knowledge in a similar fashion, through the creation of an [OFFER] post under similar rules as above.
