Genius hour is a movement that allows students to explore their own passions and encourages creativity in the classroom. It provides students a choice in what they learn during a set period of time during school.
I will provide a set amount of time for the students to work on their passion projects. Students are then challenged to explore something to do a project over that they want to learn about. They spend several weeks researching the topic before they start creating a product (or business idea) that will be shared with the class/school/world. Deadlines are limited and creativity is encouraged. However, last year I stressed the importance of all projects being completed in time to present at the STEAM Fair in the Spring. |
