Today me and sloth expert ( Emma Fodor ) contacted the sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica and asked questions to know what and how we are going to help the sloths.We also contacted a bakery in Georgia named "Bakerella" and asked questions like how to get people to buy the cupcakes and, about the design we have in our heads and how to perfect it. We are starting to plan to bake and sell already so we can raise up to $150 or more to save the sloths!
This genius hour I am paring up with a sloth expert ( Emma Fodor ) so together we can save the sloths. We are going to make a sloth cupcake and sell them around town. After we are done we will take the money we earned and donate the money to a sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica. Are goal is around $150 so the sloths will have a tree to climb around on.
My favorite part of this genius hour is that we get to combine my two favorite things sloths and baking I cant wait to work with Emma! I am in love with genius hour because we get to explore freely about our passion and research about what we want to learn about. We get to explore more things than other students and learn more. I especially loved how the teachers were less stressed during genius hour because it was a time where they got a break also the students from all the deadlines of schoolwork and papers it was just a time of relaxation and fun learning. I hope we will be able to do this again because it was fun to learn about our passion and see if we want to do it when were older. I wouldn't change a thing. I LOVE GENIUS HOUR! In the state of Oklahoma, there is a law that states "People who make 'ugly faces' at dogs may be fined and/ or jailed." If this law was instated today many many people would be in jail because a lot of people like to make weird and dumb faces at dogs.
How can I perfect how to make a tiny design how long will it take to perfect what tools do I need do help?
The first time I started baking was when I only 4 years old. We had to got to a party and i smelled the good food. I asked to help my mom she didn't let me help all that much but after we were done I thought it was actually really fun. So I had started cooking with my parents after that day. Then when I got older I started cooking even more but when I needed help my parents helped.Then when I got even older I started doing it alone and I had even more fun just baking what ever I wanted so my mom was who got me started in my passion.Then I also started to cook around that time. I sometimes made dinner and my parents actually thought it was good for a 8 year old. I would usually make potato green bean casserole and more treats and food.
