The Genius Hour/Passion Project with STEM: Igniting Curiosity and Innovation
by Roda Mongen
This lesson is designed to encourage students to explore their interests and pursue their passions while diving into the world of STEM. This lesson takes place in a classroom for one semester. 1 hour will be allotted every Friday of the week to implement this project. Students implement their projects individually since most of the hands-on part are done at home.
