# 2890 Training Pathways
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Hawk Collective uses a badge-based training system with three tracks. Each track has 3 levels. Completing a level earns a badge.

|
||
|
|
- Wire gauge basics (AWG 6 = thick/power, AWG 14 = thin/control)
|
||
|
|
- Complete circuit = two wires (positive + negative)
|
||
|

## Cross-Track Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some achievements overlap between tracks. This is **intentional** — team members should understand how the subsystems connect.

## How 2890-claw Tracks Progress
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I maintain a student profile for each team member. The profile tracks:
|
||
|
|
- Current level in each track
|
||
|
|
- Badges earned
|
||
|
|
- Next recommended step
|
||
|
|
- Last activity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When a student asks a question, I check their profile and route them to the appropriate level.

## For Students
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ask 2890-claw: "What level am I on?" or "What should I work on next?"
