Project Group - Thirty Years of Genius Hour/Passion Projects and How it has Evolved

Project Group - Thirty Years of Genius Hour/Passion Projects and How It Has Evolved

Saturday, November 11, 2023
1:15 PM – 2:15 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado M/N
The Logos Lab School first piloted a class in Level III independent projects in 1992. Now these are known as Genius Hour or Passion Projects. This session shares the practices we have learned, changed, and abandoned over thirty years of trial and error with gifted middle school students and their Project Group.

Learning Objectives:

  • Teachers and administrators will learn how to implement Genius Hour/Passion Projects for gifted students.
  • Teachers will learn how students can study what interest them and still develop lifelong skills in research, organization, presentation, and reflection.
  • Teachers will learn some of the pitfalls of student-led research.
