Unfortunately, Daily DIY will no longer be posting daily news. This is my first post on the blog since May, and I have found it hard to keep up with. The website will not be taken down, so if you want to go back and look at it, you may, but as of today, there will be no more posts unless I decide to get started with it again.

Today, the mods have officially announced the beginning of DIY Camps. DIY Camps are year-round camps that fit around your schedule; they have awesome counselors who are great at what they do. There are several awesome camps, such as Minecraft Adventure Camp, Beginning Acting Camp, Zombie Survival Camp, and Comic Book Camp. Joining DIY Camps costs $39, and you can find more about camps here, or watch this video. If you join a camp, you'll need to download the DIY Camps app! We may be taking another one month break while we develop the new contest suggested by Sky Girl 727!
Want a hint at what it will be? Check out this project! The 100-Days of Making starts today! Tell Booky what you will be doing in the comments of this project. Booky has also challenged us to keep up with all 100 days of making. If you do, she will send you one of the felt things she makes (if you want one) and some DIY goodies! The one-hundred days start today, and end July 14! Good luck! We may be taking another one month break while we develop the new contest suggested by Sky Girl 727!

DIY Camps is a new app that DIY is going to release soon. Right now, they are in the process of testing, so some of the members on DIY are participating in the first group of camps. You may have noticed a sudden increase of DIY mods (I think it's four more - Sunny Bee, Monster Tea Party, Al Bear, and Cardboard Froggies), and they are the new camp counselors for the camps. The email gave the "sneak peek" information about the first few camps they will be running: Stop Motion Animation Camp, Science Camp, and Acting Camp. The app will pretty much be a summer camp, but year round! You will be able to join a small group of other DIY members to work with a counselor who will share techniques, give one-on-one feedback, and give challenges. The DIY mods hope to make the app public in a few months, but a few members have been able to take a part in the trial, which is just to make sure that there are no bugs and that kind of thing. Indiana shared a video a few hours ago telling us about the camps. Click here to view it! The next contest is coming sometime in March!
Daily ChallengeToday you are challenged to manipulate an image in Photoshop, GIMP, or any other thing like that. Share your projects with #alterimage. This can also be submitted to complete the Alter and Image challenge for the Meme Hacker skill. The picture is credited to Skate Frere. Report the News on Pizza VisionFour days ago, Hippogryph shared a project informing everyone on DIY that they can report the news on a special episode of Pizza Vision. Share a video (with #pizzanews) of you telling a story as a newscaster. It can be true or fictional. You can film it at your house or "in the field", but make sure that it is one minute or less. DIY will edit the videos to create the episode. So far only three projects have been submitted. Want to check out the video? Click here! Don't forget to join the #dailydiymythicalcreature contest!!
Daily ChallengeDay two in the post-apocalyptic world, you are getting a bit hungry. You should make a solar cooker. To make your own basic solar cooker use a cardboard box (pizza boxes work pretty good) and some aluminum foil. Share your project with #solarcooker. You can also submit your project to complete the Build a Solar Cooker challenge for the Solar Engineer skill. Want to join a post-apocalyptic role play? Check out one by Larkin here!! Pizzachu's PlaylistPizzachu has started a list of challenges based on a theme that she called Pizzachu's Playlist. Here are the first two challenges she has released.

There are some new updates to the Holiday Hacker skill!! They have added some new skills, and some have been removed. You can now come up with ways to reuse your leftovers, try new holiday traditions, or create a list of New Year's Resolutions. To see the new challenges, click here. Yesterday's daily challenge was to create a new holiday. A holiday needs a backstory, a name, and some traditions. Share your project with #newholiday.

He also gave us the promise of more improvements coming soon!! ![]() The computer version of DIY now looks like this. I figured out what the to-do's are!! On a challenge, you can now press "To-Do". It is kind of like a save for later button, I guess. Don't forget to join the #dailydiyfall contest!!!
