Steanwood High School students recently developed a wind-powered generator, based on their very own invention. The generator won the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest, where they now go to the national level to compete to win $200,000. The students had to put their minds together, research, and come up with a solution for a problem. They then blueprinted the generator, and engineered it.
STEM and student centered learning where both involved in this project, and it could be considered a genius hour invention. While the students had help, they did the hard work. They did the research. They figured out how to build the project. Kids, not much older than me, have come up with an invention that could change the world. Of course, my genius hour project will not be this huge. It will not win any awards, and it won't change the world. However, I like to think that is will still help people. Besides, these projects have to start somewhere. Maybe someone in another class somewhere will see my genius hour project and start something like it of their own.
