Blog 2.1: STEAM Rollin'

  Hello! Welcome to my first blog of my second Genius Hour! I am doing a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) activity plan to help teach the younger 4H kids involved in some fun activities. I remember when I was younger growing up I participated in this, but haven't seen it done again in quite some time which makes me sad because I know how much I enjoyed it. According to my action plan I was to get the STEAM activity book from Tara Andrews who works at the county extension office and that has been achieved! Yet, it took a little while to get it because I kept forgetting... So in the meantime I would go online and look up some activities to get knowledge towards what I am going to be teaching. There are many activities listed that I still remembered and many new ones in which I'm very excited to teach the younger kids. I'm very excited to see where this activity will go:)

Next week I will be making a list of activities to be done, and make sure they benefit the kids they way I want them to. Stay tuned and lets get to STEAM rollin' this thang!

    Grace, this is so you! I think it's very nice that you are setting a good example for these kiddos when it comes to STEAM Rollin'. I think these kids will love to have you for a teacher as you lead them in the activities. What do you think will be the biggest challenge? How do you plan to overcome it? Cannot wait to see your progress!:)

Genius Hour 1.5

 Wow, week 5 of genius hour went really well! Welcome back to my genius hour. This week I made a necklace for Harley Meged, an all black necklace with a cactus charm/pendant in the middle! I really liked making this one, and it was probably the easiest one I've made so far. This project took me about 15-20 minutes I'd say which is very fast. The only little whoops I had on it was getting the pendant centered so it would lay right once the necklace is being worn. I have been going along with my action plan as I should be which was adding a new charm to my necklaces, which indeed was the cactus. I was nervous the charms and beads I ordered would not get here in time, and my action plan would go all out of wack. I am even a little bit ahead of my action plan because I've put pendants on my necklaces before, yippee! This about all that happened this week and I'm very excited to see what is ahead for me and making this jewelry! Next week I'll be making a sort of pattern ...
