On the element14 Community, we know that our members come from all stages in their careers and learning. From starting out either for a specific project or in STEM education, or needing to demonstrate and practice their knowledge about electronics products and technologies.
To help introduce our members to learning and demonstrating this knowledge, we came up with the 'element14 Essentials', peer-reviewed and researched information presented in a factual manner, along with a quiz to test what you have learned and the ability to earn a badge at the end to demonstrate this capability.
Over the coming year, we intend to expand on this programme a little more, details of that will be coming soon.
Let's have a look at which Essentials courses you've been most interested in the past year. For each of these you can gain an achievement badge!

Who Came out On Top of the Quizzes?
We have some behind-the-scenes statistics on the element14 Essentials quizzes and courses, which may come as no surprise to any of you reading this. This helps us to know how well our members are doing with our Essentials and look back on whether or not there's something we need to tweak about the quiz and the information provided.
I can succinctly say that all of our members do very well, but there are a few who have been dedicated enough to do more than others. We have a large array of Essentials and these four members have managed to complete all of the ones that we created in 2022:
1. ralphjy
2. dougw
4. kmikemoo
Who is the element14 Essentials Quiz Master of 2022?
Most notably, I would like to congratulate ralphjy for managing to score 100% correct in each of the quizzes from 2022 on their first try, with the exception of one quiz! That's a fantastic feat! Especially out of everyone who attempted them.
The Essentials quizzes are still up and available, if there are any of the achievements above which you don't see "COMPLETE!" on, that means you should give the quiz a go until you get 100% so that you can prove what you've learned!
