Pamela Fox Badge

I think this sounds like a great way to show our apprieciation for pamela!

Great idea! Are there any other Khan Academy teachers (besides Sal, of course)? You could make a badge for them, too...

I think this is a great idea, but the votes do seem a little low, maybe 5 votes, or 10 votes?

@RandomProgrammer24: Yes there are! Yeah, That would be cool!

I suggested three votes because I think this badge should be one that anyone can get.

@Legolas Greenleaf, I agree with the 3-5 votes to get the badge...for some of us beginner/still learning programmers, getting 10+ votes is hard!

That's true, Kendra.

Yes! Please do

I personally think, because Pamela was a teacher who helped others on KA, that the badge should be related to people voting up your answer to a Help Request x amount of times.

I agree about the different levels, but what about incorporating other influential Khan members, like making a sun badge called “Sal Khan” and another one called Pamela?

Edit:

Not only that, but since there are many more levels of badges, look for other influential, inspiring, and interesting individuals who could get a badge named for them. However, unless you decide to change your preference to make it a once-get badge, I agree that it sounds like an easy get for more popular programs. Also, how are we going to prevent copiers from achieving this badge for doing other peoples’ work?

yes that would be a great idea i agreeeeeee!

      I agree. Pamela totally deserves it! Great idea Legolas!!!!!

That'd be a great badge! I'd love to see a new meteorite badge for Khan.

#Pamela Week :3

I like the idea! Pamela definitely deserves her own badge. :)

However, I think 100 energy points is a bit too much. Great programmers are going to make a LOT of games with 3+ votes.

But other than that, I would totally approve this badge! Also, Legolas Greenleaf, let me just say that you are the best at event-organizing and taking action. :D

I think this could be one of several badges named after Khan team members like Sal and Pamela. I like the idea, its connection with program votes seems fitting. I was first voter, but didn't comment, lol.

Hope nobody minds, but I would appreciate any feedback on my membership badge request here: http://bit.ly/2oLMi5P

My suggestion would be +10 votes on any program and 100 EPs as a reward...

i think with all the work she has done she needs a badge

Sounds like a cool thing to do - I'm in.

Hi Everyone and Legolas,
Laurie added that badge request to their backlog of learner-focused requests! They have a whole section for badge requests while it can't be guaranteed your idea was definitely noted by the Support Team and staff thanks for making Khan Academy a fun place to learn!

Whoa Katrina thanks for letting us know! That is some good news! Let's hope that it happens! ;)

I agree

I'm all for it, long live Pamela

Thanks for your support everybody! This request has gotten way more support than I ever thought it would! I hope the Pamela Fox badge is implemented!

-Legolas

great idea! hope it works!

yay!!!

Amazing!!

I fully support this idea and every single fact that others have said. Pamela was the person who had first taught me how to code so I am giving full support for this badge and gratitude towards Pamela.

*starts chanting*  LONG LIVE PAMELA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this idea!
