- What excites me most about Genius Hour Project?
The thing that excites me most about the genius hour project is that learning about something that I actually think is interesting. For me it is learning about the brain and how it works everything in our body. The brain is just one organ and it controls our whole body and everything in our body. For me, I think that is so amazing how this organ in our heads makes us think and on the other side lets us breathe.
- What concerns me most about my genius hour project?
What concerns me most about my genius hour project is that how many things that we can do to damage our brain. For example, getting a concussion hurts your brain on a level that could be harmful. Also like how getting paralyzed can trick your brain so that it can't "talk" to the rest of your body. There is so many things that we do today that can in the long run damage our brain to the point of it not being able to get better. Like smoking can kill brain cells. What I don't get is that we know that something that we do are going to hurt our brain, but how come our brain doesn't protect itself by doing something to not let us hurt it?
- What progress have I made with my project?
As of right now I haven't made too much progress into my project since this was one of the first times that we have been looking and doing this. I already know some stuff about the brain from my Health Occupations class last year but what i can say that i haven't really looked for stuff or information for this yet.
