Magnetic Free Energy Generator

I have been working on a free energy generator made of a cpu fan and magnets. A small magnet is put on each fan spoke, and a powerful magnet is held outside the fan, making the fan spin. You then hook the wire up to a lightbulb and bam: energy. The only problem is harvesting the fan from a computer and buying the magnets, but progress is looking good.

Dress Code

Using examples from "the real world" and ideas taken from feminism, I'm working on a paper that will persuade our school's authorities to make some small modifications in our dress code. I also want to prove that what it takes to create change is motivation and something to write with, and that age doesn't matter when it comes to justice.

Reading

       Hi I'm Gwyneth,  I chose Genius Hour to read and study for classes.  I usually have limited time to read books, however during Genius Hour I can explore new books.  I also can study tests for classes later in the week.  I can't wait to start and journey to a new world!;)

My Genius Hour Project

Hi!  I'm Taylor.  For genius hour this quarter, my friends Olivia, Phoebe, and I are taking selfies and making them into a book.  This book is being made to boost girls our age self confidence.  On each page, we will put a photo and an inspiration quote.  Most of the photos are of us, in different poses.  In order to the book, we will also make a keynote presentation.  One of our inspirations for this project was the Super Bowl ad with the little girls in it for always.  With this project, we hope to inspire girls everywhere.  Right now, we are taking the selfies for our book, Becoming One With Your Selfie.

Becoming Your Selfie

Hi. My name is Olivia and I'm in sixth grade. With my friends Phoebe and Taylor, we decided to make a book. Our book is called Becoming Your Selfie. Its purpose is to encourage self confidence and uniqueness in girls and boys around the world. We are currently taking all of the selfies we are going to use. In the selfies, we weren't trying to model or make ourselves look good, instead just smiling and having a good time. The result is that we looked beautiful, each in our own way. We are going to continue to take selfies throughout the quarter. We are also going to put original quotes under the pictures in hopes to promote self confidence. At the end end we want to present and print to boys and girls, starting in our own school.

Being Your Inner Selfie

For my genius hour project I am making a selfie book with Olivia and Taylor. We are making a book of selfies to boost self confidence and encourage uniqueness. By doing this it can help girls and boys overcome problems in their lives. Hopefully in the future many girls and boys will have a chance to see our presentation and be able to be beautiful in their own way. By being your inner selfie you can really be proud of who you are. We are having lots of fun making a selfie book and we hope to encourage girls and boys around the world. We are almost done with our project and we are very interested in this subject. Thank you for reading my blog about being your inner selfie.

Football How-To

For my Genius Hour project, I want to demonstrate how to properly play the center position on offense in the sport football, on a video. This will be a how-to-video showing three main points: plays, how to snap short and long distance, and how to properly block the defense.  I will learn how to inform people on stuff that I am an expert on and how to coach/teach kids who want to properly play the center position.

Learning Yoga

For my genius hour project I will be learning yoga. The reason I chose this for my activity was because it looks very fun and I think I might like it. I have always found yoga to be kind of interesting and I want to try and do yoga. My last project, the Roundix Cube, a round Rubik's cube was more towards building an object, where now I will be moving my interest to something more active, which is why I will try yoga. Building something was fun, but it took a long time to figure out the process in which we would do it, but with yoga, I will be doing something active and hope that it will be very fun.
