Genius Hour 2 Refection

For my Genius Hour presentation part two I decided to go into something I enjoyed doing and could actually relate to / talk more about. I chose to present on Cooking and Baking, my research question was based off of what we eat. ” How is expanding your food varieties beneficial” basically tipping to ones who eat in a certain food zone and aren’t really exploring new things or just don’t know about them.

I myself learned a lot of different things and discovered foods that are very popular but you expand them into greater things. As part of my presentation I split it up into three categories (  Appetizer, Meal and Dessert )  I picked at least one food to present on for each category but expanded it into things people, like I myself have never really tried before or just didn’t know you could make that certain something with a simple 10 to 15 minute recipe – unless you make it from scratch of course.  As my started I chose to do bread, really simple right? I went ahead and made the bread from scratch, dough, cooked everything and what many people don’t realize is that you can create so many things for example  pizza bites or fruity french toast. That was just one example of what I learned, we tend to look past all of the incredible things we can do and make with simple ingredients and already prepared food.

Doing this may not help the world, or many people in general but if they wanted to they could expand on their food varieties, to get out of their comfort zone and by doing so you’re also maintaining a healthy, interesting ‘diet’ as you could say and it keeps a balance for nutrients. just by expanding your food varieties you can also help others by simply creating a blog post, like so or telling your friends about them, sharing them at events.

We will soon be starting Genius Hour number three and for this one it actually needs to have an impact on the world – I’ve decided that i’m going to start doing some research on hotlines, for help, suicidal help, help for bullying. I want to do this because I feel like as generations go on this kind of stuff seems to progress, which is not what anyone wants – people tend to make wrong choices and later make up for them but I feel like it will have an impact on the world by letting these people know that there is always someone to talk to rather it be a stranger you don’t know on a hotline so they have actual scientific advice, if you just need someone to listen, you know they won’t go and tell the world about what you’re doing and not doing – they just want to help though also letting them know that their friends and family are always around even if they don’t want to confide in them – things tend to spread around fast. the suicidal rates should decrease, the bystanders and targets around bullying should have confidence to stand up for them selves, not in a violent way because then they’d be a hypocrite but rather they be talking to the bully or an adult – or suggested as both. So I believe that is what my next genius hour project will be based on. – until the next reflection.
