This March, the Education Design Lab’s school partners on the 21st Century Skills Badging Challenge gathered for the 2016-17 Cohort Convening–the culminating event of the year. Bringing together university teams from across the country, it was a celebration of 6 months of research and pilot design. Participants, in the midst of student pilots, were eager to share their unique badge earning models, insights, and challenges and engage with other cohort members.
