Engineering merit badges

This is a project started recently by Phil Torrone of Adafruit: iron-on skill badges!

Adafruit iron-on "skill badges" / patches and partners

Adafruit offers fun and exciting "badges" of achievement for electronics, science and engineering. Please visit our badge section to purchase badges or contact us for more information on how educators can participate. We believe everyone should be able to be rewarded for learning a useful skill, a badge is just one of the many ways to show and share. From the "I CAN USE A LASER CUTTER" or "I CAN SOLDER" to "I LEARNED MICRO-CONTROLLERS" Adafruit has designed open-source badges to reward students, beginners and individuals who are learning with Adafruit products.

Many are already available for order:

One of the niftier ones is the Reverse Engineering badge:

This is the first lenticular (two-stage image) skill badge that we know of! It says reverse engineer forwards and backwards depending on the angle you view it at!

Cheers,
