My Genius Hour Blog!

 Hi everyone! So this is my final post in relation to my Genius Hour Project! I hope that you'll take a look around this blog and see some of the fun things I've done, and take away some of the things that I've learned! Check out my final project and Ted Talk to learn more about my experience and the journey I have been on over the past 12 weeks! I have had such a great experience with this project! I have developed a deeper connection with my loved one, and a subject that I am very passionate about! I hope that you'll consider doing a Genius Hour Project and learn more about something that you're interested in too! Thank you for following me on this adventure! It's been great! -Sydney
