My genius hour project was to make an ALS charity. I chose to do this because I wanted to do something that would affect more people than just myself. Also, I chose this because I wanted to help other people that are not as fortunate as others.
There was a lot of steps I had to take some were easy others were not. My first step was to research everything I could about ALS to help me later in my project. Secondly, I had to find a place where I could easily make a website without any cost. After, I found that place I had to find a template I liked. Then, I had to make the website. After making the website and making sure everything was the way I wanted I had to publish my website the public. Now, I am trying to figure out different ways that I could make money.
For support I looked to my teacher Ms. Watz and Mrs. Sayer inside my school community. Outside of school I seeked support from my mom.
The end product will end with me making money through fundraiser and donating it to hospitals to do research for a cure. Also I will give money to people money with ALS to make their lives easier. I shared with the world by publishing my website this blog, and by fundraising.
Things that were successful for me was that I built a website and shared it with the public. I successfully got great ideas for fundraising. But there is success yet to come with actually making the money and distributing it.
Some problems I faced along the way was trying to figure out a good name for my charity that wasn’t already taken. Another problem I had was that I wasn't quite sure how to make a website. Lastly I am currently facing the problem of how to raise money to get my charity off and running.
I really liked how my project went and I wouldn’t do anything drastically different next time. Some minor things I would do different would be to do a little more research and ask more people within and outside of my community about their thoughts and the idea and get some more ideas for fundraising.
I’m thinking about doing a sports website next time. The website will have updates on the worldwide sports games, drills to get better, and my opinion on hot sports topics.
