THE SUPPORTER BADGE
Grizzly bears often evoke a variety of perceptions and emotions among people, and opinions can vary depending on cultural, geographical, and personal perspectives. Public opinions on hackers varies based on cultural, geographical, and personal perspectives. We can be seen as the most dangerous or helpful people. Also, these bears are intelligent, open backdoors to get food and think outside the box and they are located across the Pacific.3

2. Wilderness and Natural Beauty: We are wild, but we are diverse.
3. Danger and Fear: We can be seen as dangerous, but others might see us as Teddy Bears, not in a hazardous way.
4. Native American and Indigenous Culture: This means, “We are the people” and “We are hackers.” We represent strength, wisdom, and connection to the world “hack the planet.”
