Applications are open for Developer and Designer roles!

Hello, and welcome to another issue of the UBC Launch Pad newsletter! 🚀

What we've been up to

Applications for developer and design roles are now open! 🎉 You can find links to the relevant roles on our website's "Join" section and our Facebook event. We've recently made some updates to our recruitment overview, which describes what we are looking for in applicants for each role - if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us on social media or via email!

We've also documented our objectives for this semester, and made some updates to our manifesto to better reflect how our club works. To learn more about how we run our projects, also check out our planning guidance!

Featured content

  • What do we build at Launch Pad? We will be featuring some of our past projects on social media soon, but for now you can check out our:
    • GitHub organization, where all our projects are built and documented! For example, the FoodDoods repository has a comprehensive writeup about the progress and work on the project.
    • Medium publication, where you can find a few of our project writeups - for example, a post introducing the revamped Launch Pad website and a recent article featuring learnings from our work on our internal Slack bot.
  • We've updated our new design assets directory with the refreshed logo assets used by Launch Pad (though the directory website itself is a bit of a hack - check out the script used to generate it)!

Coming up next

In the coming weeks we will be introducing this semester's tech leads who will be guiding our projects through a series of social media posts! Tech leads are experienced developers who are responsible for managing the team by planning the project roadmap, assigning tickets during sprints, implementing challenging features, and acting as a resource to less experienced developers on the team. We're super excited to meet everyone!
