Showcase Your Platform Through
Hands-On Exploration

The Badge Sandpit helps educators, employers, learning designers, credential practitioners and curious learners explore the digital credentials ecosystem through real activities and experiences.

Rather than simply reading about a platform, participants are encouraged to engage with providers directly by completing activities, exploring tools and experiencing different approaches to skills, credentials and recognition.

The Badge Sandpit is provider-neutral. We showcase a range of platforms, tools and approaches to help participants understand the diversity of the digital credentials ecosystem through exploration and experience.
