</p>
<p>The badges fall into at least one topic in the following STEAM categories: Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, or Math. Some badges fit in more than one category – for example, a badge may apply to both science and math. Filter by topic to see the badges by these different areas of interest.

<dt>Why badges?</dt>
<dd>
<p>Badges are a fun way to show off detailed learning, skills, and accomplishments in a very specific, unique way. Each badge has particular criteria that show what was learned, as well as what action was taken or project created as part of that learning.
</p>
<p>Badges also can be displayed on Facebook, Twitter, and other social profiles to encourage sharing (and a little bit of bragging).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>Will my childs badges count for school credit in the fall?</dt>
<dd>
<p>Badges show the learning your child has accomplished over the summer, not school credit. However, some badges may count for credit, while others may unlock additional opportunities elsewhere. To find out if any opportunities are available at school, your child should show all his/her summer badges to his/her teachers and ask if either of these is an option.
