GIVE THE NEXT GENERATION A WORLD TO WORK WITH

We've passed the halfway mark on the GEAS challenge to extend humanity's survival horizon. We've added at least seven years to our survival horizon, but that's not enough. We need to add a generation--so the next generation has a chance to make its own contribution to the species.

What does that mean? It means we need to work together to earn badges and points. Together, we need to earn 14,000 points. There are lots of ways to do this: 700 new SEHIs could complete their survival profiles and earn their High Ping Quotient badges, each worth 2 points. Or 140 SEHIs could reach for the gold and earn their full 100 points by earning all their badges.

Not sure how to earn a badge?

Here's a list of the badges, what they mean, and some examples of badge-winning stories, discussions, and superstructures. If you think you have an award-winner, nominate it for a badge. Just click Nominate for a Badge on any story, discussion, superstructure, or SEHI profile page.

EARN YOUR BADGES NOW!

High Ping Quotient - 2 points

Responsiveness to others' requests for engagement and the ability to reach out to others in a network.

The most important thing you can do right now is complete your SEHI profile if you haven't already. If every SEHI takes just 5 minutes to complete their profile, we'll increase the survival profile by a generation or more.
