Final Post

I had mixed reviews about this project. Overall I thought it was enriching experience, but to be honest it wasn’t as enjoyable as I had imagined. But that’s primarily my fault. I felt like the topic I chose, though interesting, was tedious and repetitive. Looking back on my alternatives I wish I had chosen something that was more entertaining, and would’ve involved a better, more engaging presentation. However, I still would say I enjoyed this project. It was more intriguing than gifted projects in the path. It was also a lot less required work than gifted projects, but I ended up putting in a lot more time than other projects.

As for the experience of genius hour project outside of mine personally, I found it very interesting to see other people’s projects, and it was very interesting to see what projects other people undertook and to read people’s blogs. I Felt like I really learned a lot about my classmates and their interests. IT was really impressive to see what many pothers final projects accumulated to.

I’m a little disappointed that this project didn’t turn out better. I thought I had high expectations when it started and my high sights didn’t materialize as I had envisioned. I felt like it was definitely one of my weaker presentations in gifted. Nevertheless, I still believe that this was a worthwhile project, and I would definitely like to do it again, however I would change a few aspects. The main one would be my topic, I probably would have chosen something more fun to work on and less tedious. I think that would have also made my project better as a whole, as I might’ve gotten more into it. But I do think a business plan still proved as a valuable learning experience and there were definitely many benefits to going down the path. Assuming I had stayed on this topic, one of my main changes would have been to first find the website I wanted to submit my information on, and then started constructing the plan. This wouldn’t have left me with as much extraneous information, as I decided to choose Gust.com the last week of the project and ended up not needing a majority of the information I gathered.

Though this project didn’t meet my personal expectations, I enjoyed several steps of it along the way and feel like I learned a considerable amount. I am glad I was able to partake in this project.
