Hacker and maker conference badges have evolved beyond the laser printout of a name on a piece of paper in a plastic sheath. Attendees are looking for something memorable and engaging. In some cases, art has evolved into a multi-dimensional visual and intellectual experience. Going from idea to badge can be a daunting and for some, an impossible task. Heal will be providing an overview of his lessons learned making the Hak4Kidz digital badge for 2019, and prior badges. For example, how to get started and controlling scope creep. In addition to going over how to actually build and prototype your badge, we’ll also touch on the soft skills required to actually make it through the mass production process. Anyone curious about how event badges are created or looking to get started with one, this talk is for you.
