Bio
Cale Bruckner
Robert was Concentric Sky's Digital Credentialing Evangelist from October of 2019 through June of 2021. I had the pleasure of supporting Robert's work here at Concentric Sky. Robert did an excellent job of evangelizing the benefits of Badgr and digital credentials in his work, but his title doesn't accurately reflect the scope of his work during his tenure at Concentric Sky. Robert was a marketing machine - he was responsible for the execution of the majority of the early Badgr marketing programs and developed the initial Badgr marketing plan. Working with Robert was a pleasure and he contributed a great deal to our company. Robert brings passion and his A-game to everything he does and it would be amazing to have the opportunity to work with him again.

It's been a pleasure to work with Robert, who is a self-starter who is ready to try out new approaches to solve problems and analyze the data about their success. Robert put together multi-channel marketing campaigns, produced and hosted an interview podcast, and piloted new tools to organize and coordinate marketing and outreach efforts for our team. In addition, he's excited about the potential of technology and what people and teams can do together.

SciStarter is a globally acclaimed, online citizen science hub where more than 3,000 projects, searchable by location, topic, age level, etc, have been registered by individual project leaders or imported through partnerships with federal governments, NGOs, and universities. As a research affiliate of NCSU and ASU, and a popular citizen science portal, SciStarter hosts an active community of close to 100,000 registered citizen scientists and millions of additional site visitors. Hundreds of citizen science projects use SciStarter's NSF-supported APIs to help citizen scientists earn credit for their participation in their SciStarter dashboard, across projects and platforms. These features enable SciStarter's partners (libraries, schools, museums, Girl Scouts and more) to catalyze customized citizen science pathways and track and support the progress of their communities through SciStarter. SciStarter also supports researchers in managing projects, including best practices for engaging participant partners. As an advisor I helped the SciStarter team add verifiable, digital credentialings to their citizen science program that identifyies and celebrates emerging citizen scientists. Show less
