What school leaders need to know.
Badgie Academy is a student-friendly technology, AI, cybersecurity, career readiness, leadership, and character development learning experience for K-12 pilots and enrichment programs.
What is Badgie Academy?
A modular student experience with lessons, safe projects, career exploration, AI literacy, achievement recognition, teacher support, parent resources, and pilot materials.
Why Technology Literacy Matters
Students use digital tools every day. They need to understand devices, data, networks, cloud services, and responsible technology choices.
Why AI Literacy Matters
Students need to know what AI can do, what it cannot do, how to verify information, and how to use AI responsibly.
Why Cybersecurity Matters
Students can learn safe habits that protect accounts, devices, families, schools, and future workplaces.
Why Career Readiness Matters
Career exploration helps students connect lessons to technology, trades, business, military-aligned roles, entrepreneurship, and future learning.
Why Leadership Matters
Students grow when they communicate, help others, reflect, and take responsibility for positive technology use.
Why Character Development Matters
Badgie Academy reinforces curiosity, courage, persistence, responsibility, and protecting others.
Recommended Pilot
Start with a 6-8 week pilot using onboarding, selected modules, AI Explorer, Career Explorer, Projects & Labs, and feedback surveys.
Teacher Quick Start Guide
A simple four-week launch path.
Use this starter sequence to introduce Badgie Academy without requiring a technical background.
Explore Skills
Start one module, discuss online safety, and connect the topic to real systems students know.
Connect Careers
Use Career Explorer and AI Explorer so students can connect learning to future pathways.
Reflect and Share
Complete a project, badge, survey, or short reflection and discuss what students want to learn next.
Recommended First Module
Start with Module B1 — Meet Badgie (Grades K–2)
Module B1 is the safest entry point for any first pilot. It opens with Badgie's story, teaches the five Badgie Mindset habits (Ask, Protect, Build, Share, Lead), and closes with the Student Oath — establishing shared classroom expectations before any technical content begins. Students leave Week 1 with a common vocabulary and a personal reason to care about what they're learning. No prior tech knowledge required from the teacher. For grades 3–5, Module C1 is the recommended equivalent starting point.

Parent Letter
Dear Parent or Guardian,
Our students are participating in a Badgie Academy pilot, a learning experience focused on technology literacy, AI literacy, cybersecurity awareness, career readiness, leadership, and character development.
Students will learn how digital systems work, how to think carefully about online safety, how AI can be used responsibly, and how technology skills connect to careers and future opportunities.
The program emphasizes curiosity, courage, persistence, responsibility, and protecting others. Students may explore modules, career cards, safe projects, achievement badges, and reflection activities.
We encourage families to ask students what they learned, what career interested them, how they would stay safe online, and how they can use technology responsibly.
Sincerely,
Badgie Academy Pilot Team
