The "Growth Mindset" badge celebrates youth who have demonstrated the courage to reflect on their personal values, assumptions, and biases, and how these influence their approach to problem-solving and artistic creation. Through participation in Creative Solutions, they’ve engaged in meaningful self-reflection to understand how their beliefs shape the choices they make, both individually and in group settings. This awareness is crucial for developing inclusive, thoughtful, and impactful solutions.

They’ve taken creative risks, learned to view setbacks as opportunities for growth, and used these experiences to refine their art and build resilience. By actively practicing how to learn from mistakes, they’ve developed a strong foundation for continuous improvement and innovation. The skills and attitudes cultivated through this process are not only valuable for their future artistic endeavors but also in navigating challenges throughout life.
