Badge Progression Program
Every milestone earned is a skill mastered. As students progress through our curriculum, they unlock badges that recognize real, demonstrable competencies—from their first line of code to designing AI-driven systems.
Three Tiers of Mastery
Badges are earned, not given. Each tier represents a measurable leap in skill and independence.
Explorer
Students build foundational literacy—understanding core concepts, navigating tools, and completing their first guided projects.
e.g. "First Steps in Code", "Logic Puzzler"
Creator
Students apply knowledge independently—building original projects, debugging real code, and collaborating with peers.
e.g. "Game Designer", "Circuit Builder"
Innovator
Students demonstrate mastery—designing complex systems, mentoring peers, and presenting portfolio-ready capstone work.
e.g. "AI Architect", "Robotics Engineer"
Skills Students Can Earn
Each badge represents a demonstrable skill. Students collect them as they move through our curriculum, building a portfolio that grows with their abilities.
