Summarize the purpose of your Genius Hour project in 140 characters.
Fundraiser for disabled veterans in need of prosthetics who can’t afford to pay for all of it.
Explain the process of your Genius Hour project. Be reflective. Be contemplative. Explain and describe your journey. (No Less Than Three FULL Paragraphs.)
My Genius Hour Project is to help those who cannot pay for prosthetics on their own. Because prosthetics are so expensive people do not get them. I want to help veterans especially because they contribute a ton to America and I want to help “pay” them back per say. Veterans already have enough on their plate, they do not need the added stress of paying an enormous bill.
I will set up a fundraiser where people can find easily and attend. I will try and raise money for only veterans in need of prosthetics. I will advertise when and where the event will take place and hopefully get numerous donations. The generous donations will be given to my local veteran’s hospital.
I have pondered with the idea of different advertising and a venue for this event. Appreciating the veterans and what they have done and will do is a big part of our country. I hope to express my gratitude to the veterans that we will be donating for. Veterans are homeless, in debt, have medical problems, and all we have to do is donate some money to help them. In the future I hope to not only donate to this certain cause but these as well.
The intention For Genius Hour is NOT only to learn, but ALSO to share your knowledge with others who can and will benefit from your learning. How did you share your learning? What do you hope the result might be? (No Less Than Two Full Paragraphs.)
Many veterans are in some kind of trouble when they are discharged. They are homeless, in debt, have medical problems, or need money to help pay for prosthetics. Also everything costs money, and nothing is free. Veterans have it the worst because they expect to serve their country and to have a normal income. They are dependent on our country as we are dependent on them.
I hope that my results are positive and are improvements to some veterans out their. There are about 49,933 veterans are homeless, and about 8,720,000 that have prosthetics, or sensory aids. The least that the American people can do is help out or local veterans. My goal is to raise a thousands dollars at a fundraiser that I will set up.
If you could do anything different with your Genius Hour project what would you do differently and why? (No less than two full paragraphs.)
If I could do anything different with your Genius Hour project I would expand it from the start and not only focus on donating money to veterans with prosthetics. I would like to focus also on veterans that are homeless and have medical issues that could use some money to fund trials. The reason that I would do this is because just focusing on one field of what is a very big problem in the United States.
I would also focus on all the women veterans who serve and hospital centers for them and their children. There are specific doctors that are for women and their children. Some of those doctors are gynecologists and other doctors that a women require as well as their children. The clinics and the doctors in them are not cheap and if they had somebody to help pay for them I am positive they would appreciate it.
Reflect on what you did well during this Genius Hour process? Note your successes and accomplishments. (No less than two full paragraphs.)
Genius Hour is every Friday that we work on our projects on anything that we decided and we make a weebly page with our idea. I have seen somebody do one for soccer fundamentals another on nutrition. Many people practice Genius Hour around the country. Genius Hour is about sharing knowledge and teaching people something you have accomplished or trying to.
I have accomplished to researching my Genius Hour project. My Genius Hour will be important to many veterans. I enjoyed learning about how many veterans need assistance. I also enjoyed studying the various amount of veterans that are in need or have received help.
