Throughout their Middle School years, students are trained to use a variety of tools and earn badges to signify their proficiency with each one. With the tools readily accessible, students can confidently use them, not only for their Design class projects but for assignments in other subjects as well. This badge system encourages independence and skill-building across disciplines, as well as confidence the students know how to safely use the tools.
