The badge tree
The actual curriculum, live from the Atlas site. Click any badge to light the road to it and read its document, and drag or scroll sideways to travel the lanes.
If the tree does not load, open it at installatlas.com/academy, where it also prints as a wall poster.
How sessions work
Read, then bench
Every badge is a readable document with checkpoints. Members read it, bring it to the bench, and work at their own speed. Nobody is timing anyone.
Assessment is showing
When a checkpoint says get assessed, you find an instructor and show them. Doing the thing, knowing why, and calling your own mistakes counts for more than a lucky first try.
The ladder out the top
Badges lead to capstones. Capstones lead to junior mentor, then mentor, then apprentice: an apron with your name on it, a hook, a nook, and real shifts that count toward volunteer hours.
No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to make things. Want the whole month? The Month Pass covers eight sessions, two a week, for $336 flat.
