The Genius Hour project teaches students more than any test or quiz could. It puts the teaching in the hands of the students. During the process of researching, creating and publicizing their projects, students can learn a lot of lifelong skills. While promoting self-teaching, Genius Hour also promotes the idea of learning from failure. The emphasis of the project is to teach that failure is okay and that you do better and make alterations. When a student fails a test, that's it. There's nothing they can do about it. When a Genius Hour project fails the student can make changes and try again.

As a group, we plan to write a children’s book by January 10th. Once we finish the book we plan on contacting Woodland elementary and setting a date to read our book to the kids and have our book placed in the Woodland library. The first two months we’ll use to write the book, the last month and a half we’ll use to illustrate and put our book together.
