Challenge Awards

Home > Coaching > Key Elements

Challenge Awards are custom medals available to students for completing a set of requirements in an activity area. The medal is cast metal about 1-1/2 inches square and hangs from a blue ribbon with a pin.

There is a Challenge Award for each activity. In general the requirements are to demonstrate a basic knowledge of the technology, complete a project, attend a competition, and meet a computer industry professional for a bit of career exploration. The specific requirements are found under each activity, for example Web Animation.

We have found that many students enjoy earning these awards. The requirements form a checklist that helps ensure students are receiving a complete introduction to the activity. The medals can also act as motivation for students to complete projects and attend competitions. Challenge Awards are usually presented to students during the awards ceremony at the end of a competition.

If you would like to use these medals in your club, the coach can maintain a checklist with student names and requirements completed. When students complete a requirement they show their coach and the requirement is checked off. The coach approves the completion of all requirements and orders the medal.
