Core Curriculum

Core Curriculum

The recognition system for The Block Academy — celebrating craft, teaching, and community contribution through visible titles and AI-assisted build reviews.

Philosophy

Core Curriculum rewards meaningful contributions, not grinding. No time-based achievements, no resource collection goals, no daily login streaks—just recognition for the things that matter.
