Hi! We’re Katie and Elizabeth.

We are two sisters who love to learn and share with each other.

We believe that earning badges isn’t just for kids. Adults should have a reason to get together with friends and learn something new, too! Join us as we learn new skills and share our progress with the world.

Supporting a culture of growth for ourselves, we follow curiosity where it takes us. We try to create a fun learning experience out of almost everything. We also know that learning together is fun, so we invite others along and encourage you to do the same!
