The Builder's Vault. A sample of the digital badges available in World Builders Academy.
Every civilization left something behind. So does every builder. In World Builders Academy, mastery isn't marked with a grade in a gradebook; it's earned, animated, and kept. Each badge below represents a unit a student didn't just complete, but built.
