My passion project was going to be a website of how to play baseball then a video game and then game you can play outside but we realised that can all be anwsered in a google search and we dont want to spend 5 minutes we want to have time to develope something that people all over the world can do.

For my weekly reflection, I decided to work in a group with Victoria and Reese.We had many thoughts about Art or Designing.So we combined them together and created something out of that which is people being able to design different things that they choose.We thought about making a website for people to design something that inspires them in a way that other people will end up discovering our website also.

At first my idea was to create a robotic fishing pole which was able to be used by anyone.Sadly there were many creators who had already made one.So I ended up having to find something else to do, and that’s when I realized Reese and Victoria were doing the same thing after coming across there mistake that possibly happened in the steps of thinking of there ideas.

The main reason I chose this group is to inspire each other and others.Which Will hopefully work out for us.

Do you have a comment?

My passion project is to make a website that teaches people art who think art is difficult and that teaches people to recycle objects on the street or in there home to make art. I also want to make fruit and vegetables more colorful and exiting so kids will eat them more. People who art is difficult for can see art easier with my website and people can use learn they can recycle newspaper, paper plates , paper towels, and more to make art. Also kids who don’t like eating fruits and vegetables will start to eat more of them if there looked more colorful and exiting. Here are things that i love and break my heart.

Things I love :

-Animal

-Art

-Biking

-Movies

-Boxing

-Music

Things that break my heart:

Animal abuse, abandoned animals, pollution, and corona

-D’Andria

I had some ideas, but they failed. Like creating a new type of animal, but that failed because I do not have a: science lab, DNA from an animal , and science tools. A national park endangered animals, but that failed because I do not have a: construction crew, materials to build a building or a endangered Park, and endangered animals so that’s why that idea failed. I has all so going to do arts and crafts and how it is conspires but that did not work because that can be answered in a simple Google search and it cannot be answered in a simple Google search so that’s why that idea did not work. so I’m still trying to think of ideas but one of the ideas I was thinking about is making a video game that includes you have to take an image of you doing a good deed and then you can go to the next level and you have to do that until you reach the end and that’s when you get the prize.

I am working with a partner to create my own video game., Have you ever wondered about creating one with just a chrome book. Also on top of that it can’t be answered in a simple google search. I also hope that we can create a game that will be shared with the whole world.

We have a idea of a basketball video game and we hope to make similar to NBA 2 k but instead of just mobile devices we hope to make it available for all devices. With this video game we also hope to get it into stores.,Stores but sadly every time we try to look up the the stuff of how to make a video game it is blocked so I highly recommend not doing this on a school chrome book. Also this is the only problem we have besides asking the big question.

do you have any ideas on what the big question could be we are in the middle of thinking what are the physics of a basket ball video game. we also what are the controls Also we are looking to have this turned around by this weeks genius hour We hope to see a lot of progression We’re hoping to at least get our final questions down and start our research.

Do you have any ideas do you think this is good idea please leave a comment if you have and i will try my best to respond hopefully you have something to say if you do i would like to hear from you.

My passion Project is making a kid safe cookbook made by a kid to show how cooking and baking can change the world. Cooking and baking are some great ways to express your emotions, cooking and baking are also great ways to relive stress. How can cooking and baking change the world you may ask? The answer is simple. Cooking and baking can inspire kids and adults to find there hidden passion of cooking of baking.

There where challenges that I came across before coming to the conclusion of making a kid safe cookbook of cooking and baking. My first idea was to make a moving animal shelter, then I thought ” Will I be able to do that by the end of the year?…No”. Next idea was to make a recycling center is my schools lunch room, then I thought” how am I going to do this by the end of the year”. That was a no then I talked to my mom and she sparked my idea of a cookbook.

I met up with Lexi and Paxton because their passions where close to mine. We decided to make a meal and desert then add them to a cook book.

Things I Love: Cats (even though I am allergic ), Cooking with my mom, reading, hugs, and … ROCKSSSSS

Things that break my heart: When a family member or close friend gets sick/hurt, being hungry in the middle of the night out of nowhere, pain, having a overwhelming amount of homework, corona virus, the smell of rooting fruit, running out of cough drops, being taken away from close people ,and no ROCKSSSSS

-Elsa

My first idea was to take all the fruits and vegetables that kids were not eating every single day. We would use them to help create a farm outside to grow new ones for the cafeteria for kids to eat. I would take all the fruits and vegetables and some wood chips from the playground and put them in a pile. Then I’ll turn it over if I have time during breaks and in a few weeks it will turn into great soil. We could use the new soil to plant all types of stuff like: lettuce, carrots, and any kind of fruit in that soil.

But later that day when I arrived to school, we were learning about the weather and the water cycle, how it affects the surface of the Earth farms and the impact it has on all living things. So that night, I was so curious about the: water cycle, the different types of clouds and the weather patterns. So later on I did some research and all of the answers I got where so amazing to me! ( My favorite is the rain gauge. The rain gauge records how much precipitation has fallen during a storm.)

after researching all about the weather in the weather instruments and all about the water cycle I had the idea that I would use recycled products for my idea and use it to make a weather station for the school. I feel like this is going to make an impact on the school so next year and fourth graders come in maybe they can use my weather station for them learning about weather. and this can make an impact on my classroom cuz when I’m done with this I feel like I can teach the classroom that they can do anything they put their minds to it and I can demonstrate all of the weather instruments that I can make and show the class how it works.

I am truly exited about doing my project for genius hour. I went through some set backs, but i finally came to my idea. My Idea combines two of my favorite things, basketball and and video games. Which came to basketball video games, i am truly exited to put my ideas together and make a basket ball video game.

Basket ball video games allow you to role play as your favorite characters and make a team of them to play with them. My favorite characters are Lebron James, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant. You can also put a real life team in game as in putting all of the Chicago bulls players in one team.

In basketball video games you can do things that you normally wouldn’t be able to do while playing ball. Some of those things are power ups, dunks and special moves. Also, the special moves earn the player extra points in the game, called style points.

My goal for this project is to create my dream basketball game that will have special power ups, skins and characters that can be unlocked and cool arenas to choose from. I look forward to this project and creating my video game ideas.

Sincerly, Juda

I first thought about my family I like to bake/ cook for them. Then I asked myself what am I passionate about. How would baking/ cooking help my community. I was partners with Ollie, we said what we had on our proposals and finished very quickly, so we asked Ms. Lamb what we needed to do next. Then she told us to go partner up with Elsa and people took Ollie because they had similar passions to his. Me and Elsa talked and then ms. Lamb added Paxton to our discussion and we quickly became a group, we wondered what will we make, how will we create a dish together if we can’t get together in the same kitchen, so that’s where plans B and C were created those were some minor snags in our plan. In the beginning before all of that I thought I have a lot of things I love, so first I made a list of the things I love so I could narrow my ideas down to what I would like to show to my fellow peers. 1. Baking/ cooking 2. Animals 3. drawing/ paining 4. Creating/ designing Then I made a list of the things that break my heart, 1. Animal abuse

2. Child abuse

3. People who make fun of food and animals

4. When people make fun of art and artists or outfits

Then I decided!

Next I narrowed it down to Baking/ cooking. Then I asked myself three questions, how will baking/ cooking help my community, how will baking/ cooking inspire my peers, and how will I show my passion. These are the answers I came up with, Baking/ cooking will help my community by giving people something quick and easy too make, baking/ cooking will inspire my peers by letting them know that anything is possible, and I will show my passion by baking/ cooking a dish. I do know a lot about my topic these are the things I already know about my topic, I Will bake/ cook a sweet treat and a meal. I will bake/ cook something new. I will bake/ cook something quick and easy. I will be working with Elsa and Paxton. I will need a lot of materials. I will need these supplies baking supplies, yogurt, vanilla cake mix, berries, eggs, milk, baking/ cooking ingredients, and a clean kitchen.

Source of picture.

Next I thought how would I do this with a group, how will we get together to work on it, how will we come up with a new recipe. I thought that we should all do parts of the meal, and face time while creating it, then we would all go back and meet at school and put the meal together also adding last touches and sauces. We would all talk about the part of the meal we created, Paxton would talk about the part he made, I would talk about the part of the meal I created, and Elsa would talk about the part of the meal she created. I talked with my group and we came up with the plan. After we created the meal Elsa wanted to make a cookbook by kids for kids so we decided that Elsa would put the recipe in a cookbook she would create.

This may be the type of cook book she will make. We will probably help her do the cook book.

What are my next steps, what will I need to complete before I do anything else, what are my concerns on timing? Well my first step will be to decide what I will be making. My second step will be to decide what part of the meal I will be baking/ cooking. Then I will be making it. Then lastly I need to discuss my plans with my group on what to make, what I will be making and more. What will I have to do before I make my next reflection, well I will have to come up with Ideas of what we should make. What are my concerns on timing. Well I don’t have a lot of concerns about timing but here is my first and last concern I don’t know if I should work on a poster board or if I would be doing to much and would not have enough time to finish, I don’t have a lot of concerns.

Sincerely- Lexi

What’s your passion?

So far it is difficult to come up with a idea but one of them was to build a dog house the impact would be that it would give homeless dogs and animals a place to live but then I realized that I could not find a question then I came up with a soccer goal the impact it would make is that it would give kids that do not have enough money a way to play soccer but then the question was how to play soccer for free but that could be answered by a simple google search so then I made a list of stuff I love and things that break my heart.

Things I love : 1. technology 2. making stuff 3. bike racing 4. video games

things that break my heart: 1. animal abuse 2. homeless people

I decided to put together making stuff and technology and that came up with 3D printing the impact it will make is that stuff can be built like dog houses and even soccer goals the question I came up with is that how can 3D printing replace things in the world.

I am going to make a website as a online shop for art/designing bags,glass art/clothes and many more products. Because since many designer thing are not as affordable. Our products will still be affordable but we also will need to make profit because of matierials that may be needed for me to launch the website and buy matireals.

The way I came up with this idea is asking myself what do I really love to do or what do I do in my free time when I don’t have to do anything at home . Once I thought about it “ART!” popped in my mind An crafts so i had combined them two together and then came up with this idea.

I want to impact many people by inspiring me and different people to bring new ideas from combining different pieces to help show what others like . bringing different pieces to the world or to others may help more come to show what they love the most.

-Victoria

Do you have a comment?What are questions I can ask myself ?

Dear ms.Lamb

I am so so exited to assist you in my Genius Hour and being able to tell you What my passion is about Let me tell you some ideas l had this week.

This week l figured out that l wanted to do art for my passion project l thought that art could make people happier and inspire others and l was like we could make a pattern that is so cool and very artistic and then we could make a company that we could sail to other people to print on stuff.

Things that interest me in art. One reason is they are so cool you can just draw and be free and draw whatever you want.Another reason is look at all the stuff around us it is art everything it just inspires youl.

Some changes that l made to this project are so l was going to do art on clothes but then l decided to to our own paper then print it onto stuff . Another change l made to this project is l was going to make just a regular and already made type of design but then I decided I want to make a new type of art that people can use to inspire people.

sincerely,Reese

To ms.Lamb

My first passion was baseball but when I searched it up it was in a simple google search so I had to keep thinking of something else but then I thought that me and Cayden can make are on type of game that no one has thought of to do outside. It will be in my and Caydens on rules and everything else by just are thinking.

I was thinking that me and Cayden can make are on baseball game but in are on rules and also in are on fun way. So it will be almost the same game baseball but it will be more fun and intense. This was my 2 passion I was going to do but the other 1 I could not do. I am excited to make my own game of baseball with Cayden.

One problem that I hope would not happen is when I search my response I hope it will not be in a simple google search. If this is in a simple google search I am going to be really mad and then try to think of something else but lets hope that will not happen.

Dear Fellow Scholars,

One idea I was to make an invention called CANDY VEGGIE! But that did not work out so much…so I decided to do something different NEW FOODS! I will make new kinds of cake, cookies, and even Hot Coco.

I am going to make some thing that has not been made yet. I will help Alexis or Elsa to give them Ideas.

Dear Mrs Lamb,

I had an idea to make an website about sports around the world and how there played.The main question I,m going to answer is what are some sports that aren’t in America diffrent from our sports here.Two more questions I am trying to answer is how are each sport played and how do they get reconyzed for how they play.Some of the things that I already know about my topic is I know most sports around the world all play the the sports we do here but some of them are diffrent.This will help people because some people or kids might want to play professional sports one day and might want to play for a diffrent state but if you look on the website you can learn about the sport.

SOME OF THE THINGS I LOVE

1 animals

2 sports

3 learning about other culters

THINGS THAT BREAK MY HEART

1 fake research

2 animal abuse

3 people that don’t try new things

All of this brainstormimg that I had made me think that a website about sports around the world is a great idea.But throught this process I had some diffculites.One difficulty that I had was acually making the website and Iv’e never made a website so I don’t know what i,ll do.Another difficulty I had was finding all of the research.That will be alot of research for almost 50 states.So yes there are alot of working to do but I think I can pull this off.

-Emmi Kaye

Do you have any questions? Do you have any ideas?

Dear Ms.Lamb,

One of my many ideas for my project is a website. In my free time I find myself doing origami. That made me think of making an origami website so that I can share my origami with the word But I already know for a fact that there’s already tons of origami websites out there. So I decided that I needed to change my idea, but I knew that I wanted to keep the topic the same.

While I was scrolling through some other websites I discovered that many people were just posting their origami not instructions. With that newfound information I then I decided that I would make a website that is primarily based on making origami instructions. I then decided to go back on the site and see if their were any thing else I can change, but instead I found that most people didn’t even know how to make instructions

But I still have a lot to do before the next genius hour session. One of the main things I need to do is think about some more things to add in order to differentiate from other sites. Another thing is to actually get the website up and running. I then decided to go back on the site and see if their were any thing else I can change, but instead I found that most people didn’t even know how to make instructions. Knowing that I decided that I would add more resources to my website, that way post creators can find out how to make origami instructions.

-George

one Idea I had was to make a website. the impact of it will be people can be creatively challenged they can share creations and help people build, draw, and game. I got this Idea when I was reviewing my list of things I love. it was pretty easy to make it I know what I love and am passionate about. but when I made my list of things that break my heart that was very hard. so I wrote things that make me mad or sad. here is what it ended up looking like,

after looking over it I had planned to make a inspirationall google slides but then I thought “I can do anything I want why do a slides when I can make something everyone on the planet can see?”. so I thought what is something everyone on the planet uses? the internet! so I changed my mind and made a website. but then I looked it op and 70,0000! things and websites came up gulp so I am back to the drawing board huh this is a hard thing to re-think.

so I have been thinking and I had an idea I have thought about making a website full of videos for saving endangered species!. I have not looked it up but I am out of runway and this plane is rigged to blow if I don’t get this idea out of the staton I will be on my last stop.

do you think this is a good idea? do you have a comment?
