What is genius hour? Genius hour is one hour every Friday. In genius hour we get to work on are passion. My genius hour passion was creating catapults which was a great success. I chose this project because I love to create stuff and and to entertain people with it. I also chose it because it is a fun thing to do.
First, I found some videos and websites on how to make a catapult. I chose what catapults would be the best to make, then I started to create some. Most of the catapults were fails but three of them worked. After I made them I launched them and measured how far they each went. Finally, I added up how far each one went and I graded them into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I had great success with creating catapults.One of the catapults, catapult 2 went about 400 inches
Some support I use was my mom buying me stuff to create catapults. In school I asked the teachers to give me some advice about what I could do with creating catapults.
I shared with the world by putting a picture of the final standings on my blog. My end product of this project will be a slide show telling about my catapults successes. I will also put photographs in the slide show showing the finally standings and what the catapults look like.
There was also some major problems with them, like some didn’t even work and they would just break when I would launch them. Some of them didn’t even launch when I tested them out. One other problems was taking a video of launching them. That didn’t work because you couldn’t see the thing I was launching, so I could not take a video. Things I would probably would do different is go faster because I only made three that worked and two that epicly failed. I could not have given up so fast on the two that didn’t work because they could have been the best, but I gave up on them too fast.
For next genius hour I am going to stay with creating catapults because it is very fun to do and I love to do it. I am also going to stay with it because I would really like to try to change all my wrongs I did for my first hour project. I would also stick with it because people love it and really want to see it. I also want to stick with it because I still have a lot of stuff I can do.
