Genius Hour Reflection Activity
Directions: Copy these questions into a Google Doc and respond to them in full. Then either copy and paste the completed reflection into your Genius Hour website, or link this document to your page.
Summarize the purpose of your Genius Hour project in 140 characters.
The main purpose is to educate people about the fun and danger in riding UTVs and ATVs.
Explain the process of your Genius Hour project. Be reflective. Be contemplative. Explain and describe your journey. (No Less Than Three FULL Paragraphs.)
My process was to teach people the fun in riding UTV and ATV. I did this by talking about the safety in riding. I want people to know how to do there own work so that the can stay protected and still save money.
I learned all of my information from trial and error. I was interested in riding because I grew up around my dad and grandpa riding ATVs. When I went to a soccer camp my dad bought a 2012 rzr 800 S. I was so excited to drive it but my dad wouldn’t let me. After a few years of me riding along with him he let me take it out on my own. I’ve ripped one arm plate off and blew the belt on it but every time something happens I learn more.
I wanted to be able to help people. I wanted to make people more educated about this kind of lifestyle. I also wanted to teach more about safety of their bike. I hope that people got a little bit smarter because of my awesome website.
The intention For Genius Hour is NOT only to learn, but ALSO to share your knowledge with others who can and will benefit from your learning. How did you share your learning? What do you hope the result might be? (No Less Than Two Full Paragraphs.)
People who are new to riding ATVs or UTVs can benefit from this because they need to know certain knowledge to begin riding. People who want to start being able to do their own work on the machines. I showed people this by showing pictures and creating tutorials about the few things that you need to know before operating vehicle. If people follow some of these to Torio's very closely they will be able to ride safely and correctly.
I want my results to be a safe riding community. I want people to be able to have fun but also be safe while doing it. People getting hurt in ATVs and UTVs are because they didn't know or didn't care the dangers of riding.
If you could do anything different with your Genius Hour project what would you do differently and why? (No less than two full paragraphs.)
I wish I was better at fixing things. I would be able to make more videos for people to follow. My website would grow faster and more people would be helped. I would also would have made more of my own videos but my RZR kept braking down.
I also wish I knew more about mechanical things. I would have been able to take things apart and shown what it looks like and how it works. I could have fixed my RZR faster if I knew more. If I had even more time it could have been even better.
Reflect on what you did well during this Genius Hour process? Note your successes and accomplishments. (No less than two full paragraphs.)
I got my message about safety very well. I touched on all parts of safety including helmets, and accessories you can but to make it safer. I also did the video touching base on all of the accessories and extra steps you can take to make it more fun and safe than ever. I used my time wisely too.
I did the best on making sure that I did I videos well enough. I have just basic videos but it shows you the easy things you so harder things won't be as hard. If you want to be able to work on you own machines then my website should have helped you. I also did my research to figure out how to do it before I did it myself.
Include any videos, pictures, presentations, or artifacts that will document your journey.
