In order to fully examine the academic level of campers, the camp set up a design snapshot session, allowing the campers to discuss in random groups based on the theme "DISTANCE", and to conduct an "elevator speech", briefly reporting the group's work plan. Each group proposed their ideas and completed the final presentations in the forms of videos, performances, installations, innovative services and curriculum development regarding real-life problems including "Sex Education Workshop for Children", "Smart Clothing for the Elderly", "Emotional Connection Device between Astronaut and Family" and "Neighborhood Distance Future Community Chain". At the end of the camp, all campers had an interview session, sharing their feelings about the camp, their understanding of the School and their plans for future studies.
