Merlin Mavens

Within these castle walls be forged Mavens of Computer Science ...

— Merlin, The Coder

Introduction

 Merlin Mavens™  is a special program of  Coder Merlin™  to bring recognition to dedicated and motivated students. Progress in the program requires both demonstration of expertise and service to the community.

As students demonstrate mastery of a topic they're awarded "wands" which are rendered as right-pointing chevrons. As students demonstrate service they're awarded "crystal shards" which are rendered as left-pointing chevrons. After a series of wands and shards have been earned students advance in the color of their sash.
