In my genius hour I researched about engineering for my genius hour and for that reason I followed and tweeted to people who had an understanding or looked affiliated with my topic somehow. I chose this topic in the first place because I was inspired by apple and their logo. I immediately told myself to come up with something like it but from my own version and make it as persuasive, original, and creative as I can. I started up with the idea of Nutrition and Engineering. However, as engineering began becoming more and more worthy to do I finally drifted towards that end. I learned through this researching process that Engineering can be extremely sophisticated and can ask for certain engineering diplomas for certain jobs. This as a result has helped me grow as a person because it has confirmed to me that nothing comes free in this world and you have to work for everything, this fits in here because in order to become a highly rated architect and receive lots of money you must have gone through hard times and earned a certain engineering diploma.
The reason why I chose engineering over Nutrition is not only because it had more information but also because it enabled me to be more creative and for me to push myself for than with Nutrition. With the topic of “engineering” I could put myself in the shoes of an actual architect and present my work to the audience. During my researching journey I learned about the skills it took to become a successful engineer which was extremely dependent on math and acquiring critical thinking skills. It all depends on the type of architect you are and there are different types of engineers with a variety of engineering degreese’s.
I did a lot of things differently this time than I did the last time and it improved my grade a lot. To start off I read less at my powerpoint and knew what I was going to say so all I needed were images and one or two bullet points. I also feel like I was more organized overall due to the fact that I finished my power-point early so I had time to do extra research and get my facts straight. I taught everyone in the classroom that engineering is more complicated than they may have previously thought it was, I taught them how important it was to be creative and hard working because being an architect depends on a lot of these key factors in order to attain success. In my next genius hour I am looking forward to making it about Nutrition and the values of nutrition on the human body, I will show how important your diet can be on you and what it takes to be build a consistently balanced good regime. This will help our community be more fit and happy with their bodies and because of that we will live more joyful lives.
