*Disclaimer: DelMNS will fulfill as many badge requirements as possible during the allotted program time; however, many badges require long-term projects and resources that DelMNS does not have at its disposal to complete in a single program. Therefore, fully completing all requirements for most badges during your program is unlikely.
