In Genius Hour, we are doing Resourceful DIY Projects. I chose this project because I had interest in it and it could benefit me in a lot of ways. It could benefit me by keeping some of my projects and my topic is RESOURCEFUL DIY Projects, so it can be resourceful for me and other people!
My steps were to find something to do each week, make a schedule, and get all the supplies we needed to make it, and think WHERE we can video tape it. Plus, we had to get a video camera on an Ipad and camera on an Ipad also. It was pretty hard to find all the supplies I needed and to find what we are going to do for ALL of the nine weeks of Genius Hour.
The support I got inside the school community was some from of my peers and outside of school I got some help from my sister, she helped me find all the materials I needed to make the project we were doing. Inside of school I mistook flour for cornstarch and someone had one in handy so I asked them for some and they lent it to me.
I am still working on this to share with the world, but posting a video on Youtube (I still have to post it on Youtube). It won't post on Youtube so I have to find a way to make the photo-video again and post it on Youtube. It won't upload from my drive and go on Youtube, it only allows to do it on the Youtube camera, not Google Drive. The successes I got from the process was I got to keep some of the things we made, like Stress Slime. Instead of a stress BALL it was slime! Plus, next time my whole group will get to keep the things we make instead of taking like, an inch of it.
Problems I faced was that we couldn't make a WHOLE video because we had so much talking in the background of our videos that you couldn't even hear me or the people who worked with me talking! So next time I will try to find a quiet environment to take videos. And we will try to talk a little louder because we had some difficulty with that, we might not even do videos next time but, we are not sure.
Next time what I will do differently will be to take picture videos instead of videos if we cannot find a quiet environment. And we will make sure that we can make the videos HD instead of the blurry kind and not that shaky. Plus maybe finding better music and features to add to our picture-video.
The next round I am going to do some of the things I did this round over so I can make picture-videos of it and make some new DIY things, such as DIY Journals and things in that category.
