Finally, after a whole year of dedication, we have finally finished our genius hour project. Yesterday we had helped out at the fun run! This was a 5k for little kids and we took lots of pictures! We helped kids with running and cheered them on while they kept running. Watching the kids pass the finish line was absolutely awesome! I can't wait to help out again next year!

To end our genius hour project we are going to go out and help younger kids learn to run. We will take them out to the track and then they will go through a training exercise. Hopefully they will learn from this experience and we will learn from it too.
'Star Wars' STEM Class Captures Kids' Imagination
This article is about kids learning about STEM through Star Wars. People are saying that kids should be prepared for a future with more technology. They want kids to learn more about technology and to study how to make things work. Through technology, the kids had build a robot, and programmed it to run in a circle infinitely. They also used virtual reality and made their own lightsabers. Overall I think this is a really cool idea and that all kids should learn more about technology. Cloud's reason for writing this article is that he wants to prove that genius can be either born or achieved through hard work. Hes trying to say that genius is something that is achievable by anyone and it can just pop into your head or it could take a lot of hard work. Most of the geniuses are born but some are learned.
This knowledge can be used in my genius hour project. It allows me to know that I am able to be a genius if I put in the time and effort to be a genius. Even though I may not be a genius now, over time I can become one and change the world. That what this genius hour is about, trying to change the world. The way Mr. Cowen presented his information made me want to pitch in and help out his cause. He presents it in such a way that you are compelled and are drawn in to his story. This inspired me to make a change in my own town. If I present my information in such a way the the audience is drawn in, then I can make them want to help. Making a speech that is uplifting and inspirational will tug at my audiences heart strings. Adding a little humor will also help the effectiveness of the speech. Mr. Cowen gave me so many examples on how to create a good speech and how to effectively get my point across to my audience.
The authors definition of genius is that people who are geniuses know how to think rather than what to think. Most geniuses are alike because they all have lost something. Some geniuses lost their parents and some lost their minds. The one thing that they all have in common is their ability to keep going and pushing towards their goals. I think that this encourages me to work towards my goal and help others stay fit and in shape.
Genius hour is a great way for students to be creative and explore their creative capacity. This article explains how kids everywhere love genius hour and want everyone to do it. It talks about different kids projects and what they enjoy doing. It helps explain that failure is an option and that you can learn from it. The parents think that this boosts their child's inner artist. Genius is a great creative way to boost children's artistic abilities.
Exactly what am I going to do for this project? I am going to set up a running program for children. I feel like kids need to be more fit. That is why I am inventing a new training program for all of the kids in the UP. The program is going to show fun, different ways to stay in shape and have fun while doing it.
