Merlin Mavens
Introduction[edit]
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 serve the community they're awarded "crystal shards" which are rendered as left-pointing chevrons. When both a wand and shard have been earned, students advance to the next level. After a series of levels have been earned students advance in the color of their sash.
Requirements for Demonstrating Mastery[edit]
Demonstration of mastery in each subject will occur through the successful completion of a Merlin Mission with a score of 90% or greater. In the case that the target score is not achieved, students may redo the Merlin Mission after no less than fourteen calendar days have elapsed.
Digital Badges[edit]
A digital badge is a visual symbol of achievement. Students can collect and share digital credentials that validate their skills and accomplishments, and send signals of success to networks that matter to them, such as Discord, Twitter, and Facebook.
