Happy new year hackers! A new year means new exciting projects… This year you will see us at Bornhack with an awesome new event badge, but this blog is about something even more important.
Our sponsors
A huge thank you to our sponsors – You help make Badge.Team possible!
At Badge.Team, we work on building open, playful, and hacker-friendly technology that sparks creativity and connects the community. Whether it’s through custom hardware, firmware projects, or community experiences we help power, none of it would be possible without the contributions of our sponsors.
We would like to express our gratitude towards all who contributed in the past years, your contributions make it possible for us to keep enriching the community with wonderful badges, and be a home for those who have the desire to create, use, and want to learn about badges.
Without your support we would not have been able to become a foundation. We are working on several projects for events this year and even the year after, please feel free to join our Discord stay up-to-date with what is happening and interact with the badge community.

Badge.Team Foundation, new structure same awesome projects!
Badge.Team has recently formalized into a foundation.
Badge.Team has recently formalized into a foundation. By having a legal entity in place we can provide better support to our volunteers and run our projects with more stability while still doing the thing we love most: creating and maintaining awesome event badges.
One of the big new things our new structure enables is the separation of creating cool proof of concepts and the creation of a product for a specific event. If you have a cool badge idea or an idea for a cool badge feature be sure to get in touch!
Future projects
The first product we are going to make under the new foundation umbrella is the badge for Hackerhotel. We are working on a LoRa communicator device, the financial and sponsoring side is still being worked out so we don’t know yet what the final product will be like but we will keep everyone informed of the progress.
If you’re organizing a volunteer run event and considering a badge, we encourage you to reach out. We can provide support ranging from consultancy, hardware and firmware development and even helping out with organizing manufacturing. Whether you want something simple or deeply custom, we’re open to collaboration.
Reference designs
We have some cool reference designs in the works too which you might want to check out:
Konsool
The portable computer you wish you had in the 80`s. Complete with on-device programming environment, a high resolution, 60Hz screen and a full QWERTY keyboard. This device is all the computing power you will need on a hand held hackable device!
Kami
A modern, completely redesigned and modernized version of the first project we did: the SHA2017 badge.
