A series of stencils can be used for creating the badge, which would make the activity more cut and paste for those students who might otherwise struggle to develop or realise their own vision for their badge.

EXTENSIONS

The complexity of the final design task is completely at your description and it can be opened up to be done at home, or over the course of an afternoon in the classroom. You may choose to push your students by making them create their badges out of unfamiliar materials than what you usually use in the classroom (for example textiles).
