Poster - Badges for College Credit (BCC): Motivating learning in informal science programs through digital badge systems

March 17, 2016 | Public Programs, Informal/Formal Connections
This poster was presented at the 2016 Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) PI Meeting held in Bethesda, MD on February 29-March 2. The University of Washington Bothell in partnership with three informal science learning institutions coordinate and develop afterschool science programs for high school students. Upon successful completion of the programs, high school students are awarded college credit. The program design and method for issuing college credit is through the design, implementation and issuing of digital badges. The project aims to support programs that engage high school students from a broad range of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.
