In our class, students have an hour of their school week to explore personal interests. This time is called genius hour. Genius hour works as a series of steps for each student. First, students choose a topic they are wondering about. Next, they develop a question they can research based on their topic. Then, students research their topic. After they find an answer to their question, they create a project that teaches the rest of their classmates about their topic. Several projects have already been presented, and many students are currently working on finalizing their first genius hour projects!
