Eagle Eye Citizen encourages student achievement through a series of rewards that reflect engagement with primary sources. Badges, votes, and rankings are awarded for solving, creating, rating, and sharing challenges with others.
Students earn achievement badges for solving and creating challenges in particular themes, such as Elections, Constitution, Civil Rights, Citizenship, and Legislative Branch.
- Solve 2 challenges in one theme
- Solve 5 challenges in one theme

- Create 5 challenges in one theme
Students earn votes for each challenge they solve, create, rate, and share on social media.
For each challenge solved a student earns 100 votes and for each challenge created a student earns 250 votes. Students can also gain votes for rating challenges:
- Solving a challenge = 100 votes
- Creating a challenge = 250 votes
- Rating a challenge = 50 votes
- Another player takes a challenge the student created = 25 votes
- Another player rates a challenge the student created with 4 or 5 stars = 25 votes
