• The Genius Hour project is a really open-ended project, where you research about a topic you are passionate about, as long as it can be connected to Learning, Design, and Technology.

• It will be an individual project. But if you find out you have very similar interests in a certain topic with other students, you may work in groups.

• You will blog about your progress (at least 5 blogs) and reflect critically.

• You will also present to the whole class.

• Rubrics and more logistics will be provided later.

• Share with your table about some potential topics and why you are interested in them.
