- Participate in regular feedback sessions and suggest new ideas to improve the experience for everyone

### What You'll Learn:

- **Strategic Thinking:** Learn how to adapt and problem-solve in fast-paced situations
- **Digital Citizenship:** Practice positive communication and fair play
- **Peer Collaboration:** Give and receive feedback to improve the squad experience
- **Resilience:** Grow through wins, losses, and challenges in a supportive space

### What You'll Need:

- A working camera and microphone
- Minecraft Java Edition installed and the permissions to join online servers
- The Essentials Mod installed (we'll send you a step-by-step guide if you need help)
