5/24/2019 0 Comments The Geniuses are in TownBy Kenidy Cessna Hinckley-Finlayson, where geniuses are created and some students hacky sack for hours on end. An english teacher at the highschool hosted genius hour on Friday May 24th in the Fine Arts Center. “What is Genius Hour?” you may ask. Well genius hour is a thing Brooke Anderson brought to HFHS from an idea she received by not only her savvy and informative mind, but from google. Her reasoning from that was inspired by Google allowing their employees 20% of the business week to work and create projects of their own. At the beginning of the school year the students involved were gifted class every Friday to form a project and presentation. Maybe you have another question, that may be “Why?”... A possible answer to that could be simply just the way that Mrs. Anderson is, she is dedicated to her students and wants them to find something they're passionate about. Not only did this teach students but all projects helped our local areas, from climate action to building go karts.
9:20 a.m Abby Painovich started off two hours of presentations. Within the next hours six more projects were shown off, separated into two rounds. Starting off the second hour of presentations was Avery Degerstrom. Many different subjects and interests were presented during first and second hours to any students who showed up. All students presenting did great job and worked very hard this school year.This event was the perfect way for her students to dip their toes into the pool of their possible future careers.
