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.
