Dean's 21st Century DaVinci Challenge
Award Description: The purpose of the ePortfolio is to demonstrate evidence of growth and progress toward the idea of the "21st Century DaVinci." Students will attend at least three Renaissance Circle workshops throughout the year (mandatory) and will submit evidence of their experience on their ePortfolios to be evaluated on the basis of cross-disciplinary proficiency, creative literacy, and a playful sense of lifelong learning. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will receive a badge and a cash prize of $1000, $500, and $250, respectively. Multiple winners may be selected to split each prize.
To view a complete list of students who have claimed this badge, visit the Notre Dame Credly page. Please note that not all ePortfolios are public and some may require an ND login to access. To login, click here.
