Digital Maker Staged Activity Badge

Digital Maker Staged Activity Badge

Digital Maker badge

In stage 1 you will learn what digital making is and how it fits with Scouting and the wider world.

How to earn your badge:

  1. Show that you know what a computer is and understand that there are lots of uses for digital technology in everyday life.

    Think about where you see computer systems and technology in your day-to-day life, and about how digital technology helps make things better or easier.

  2. Create a graphic for a computer game, app, or website.

    This could be a background scene, character, or other image.

  3. Write clear instructions for a computer or person to follow to complete a task.

Tips

  • Showcase your tech projects with other creators in the UK and across the world! Check out the Coolest Projects webpages to take part for free from February, or join the celebratory livestream with announcement of the judges’ favourite projects in June.

     

    We’d love to see Scouts of all ages involved so please mention you’re a Scout when you register!

March 2024.
