33girl is totally right about adults using slang. Adults are awful judges are what kids like, and we end up with campaigns like, "Hey, kids! Not using drugs is like totally def!" Ugh!

But if you let kids shape the program - which I think they did here to a great extent - kids only know what they like then and don't have a sense of the long-term. GS should roll with the times (just because Juliette Low didn't have a computing badge doesn't mean we shouldn't today), but anything drastically trendy will age too fast. Like the name, Studio 2B, it sounds like the already-passe "B2B" phrases the business world was throwing around a year ago. If you have to radically revamp a program every two years, there is a problem.

I'm rather on the fence about this new program, and I'm glad it's being piloted right now rather than being rolled out everywhere as a done deal. Personally, I liked the structure and orderliness of badges and uniforms, but then, I'm an old bird of 26, so what do I know!
