Hello everyone!
Happy (pretty belated) new year, and welcome to the Figma Decal community! If you’ve been with us before, then welcome back. I’m Ace, the lead instructor of Figma Decal. On behalf of our whole team, thank you for trusting and joining us on this semester’s class — we’re so excited for the semester, and there’s lots to come!

Old news if you subscribed in the fall, but if this is your first time, welcome to our newsletter! This is a mailing list intended for students who audit the course (ie, aren’t taking the course for credit at UC Berkeley). We send out emails via a Google Group at the beginning of every week, usually Mondays. Each week’s edition is a digest of the lecture, homework, and lab planned for the week, along with any other miscellaneous announcements or events coming up (like Config later this year!). We’ll also try to highlight any major Figma features and give a heads up on whether we’ll be able to cover them in the course — it’s not always possible, but we do our best. If you’d ever like to unsubscribe or leave the Google Group, there’s a way to do so at the bottom of each email.
*** You can only apply if you're a UC Berkeley student AND want to take this course for credit! You DO NOT have to apply if you want to audit (don’t go to UC Berkeley and/or take the course without credit). ***
If you fit that description, you can now apply at bit.ly/figmadecal-applysp22! The application is open until Friday, January 28, 11:59 PM PST. We're running lecture fully online, but labs are both in-person and online:
Finally, our Slack Community is still open — join through this link! We plan to be way more active this semester now that we have the hang of our curriculum and running the decal. If you join, send an intro message in #welcome! See you there 👀

That's all for now — your regularly scheduled programming will start in a few weeks. Feel free to send any questions to [email protected] (or reply to this message). We're so so excited to get started this fall, and we'll see you in class!
All the best,
Ace Chen (he/him/his)
