Organized by Noah Geisel and Aurora Public Schools, participants had plenty of sessions to choose from, including:

  • badge issuing platform roundtables,
  • badging in industry,
  • badge-enabled learning pathways,
  • badges to motivate 21st century learners, and
  • #BadgeChatK12, to name just a few.
