The “My Badge Sash is an App” takes a 100-year tradition mobile. Using a $150,000 grant from the 4th Digital Media and Learning Competition, the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana, Motorola Mobility Foundation and Mentor Mob will work together to teach Girl Scouts about app development.
Girl Scouts, educators and community leaders will attend a series of “App Boot Camps” led by Motorola employee volunteers in which they’ll design and build mobile apps for the Android operating system based on the Girl Scouts’ handbook, “The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting.” Once built, the apps will show what Girl Scouts have learned and their badge proficiencies and Girl Scouts will be able to share their learning experience using MentorMob. And, of course, the Girl Scouts involved in this project will be on their way to earning a digital badge.
