Goals for the Hive NYC Badging System

• Increase digital media skills and expertise
• Demonstrate key values and behaviors as manifested through quests, activities, events
Big Design Questions
• How can youth participation in member programs connect and inform larger network badges?
• Should badges primarily be motivators or retroactive rewards?
• How can we incentivize but avoid over-badging?
• What is the trajectory for badge award?
• What network behaviors should be encouraged?
• Should network be overall badge provider?
