Digital Maker Staged Activity Badge

Digital Maker Staged Activity Badge

Digital Maker badge

In stage 2 you will demonstrate that you can complete digital projects which can be used in Scouting activities or in the wider world.

How to earn your badge:

  1. Create a piece of interactive or animated digital art using software.
  2. Create a simple computer program to help with a scouting activity, and try it out.
  3. Make a simple digital creation that uses code to interact with the wider world through inputs (such as buttons or typing on a keyboard) and outputs (such as a computer screen, sound, or lights).

Tips

  • You could use the digital art you have created in requirement 1 in either your program for requirement 2 or in your digital creation for requirement 3.
  • 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.

Requirements can be adapted to suit each young persons abilities. See our guidance on flexibility.
