Genius Hour
Genius hour is a time we have set aside at cues for students to be creative. It is based off of something that google has done with its employees. Google gives its employees time to work on projects that they want to work on, and they have the freedom to choose whatever project they want. by doing this, they've tapped into more creativity than they otherwise would and have created awesome things from it. one example would be gmail, which was created by a google employee from their genius hour project.
Last year was the first year Genius Hour was implemented at CUES. My students last year LOVED Genius Hour. They took ownership of their projects and it was exciting to watch them so engaged in their own research of their interests.
