My Genius Hour Intro

Hello everyone to my first post!

There are a lot of different things that I am passionate about from physical activity, to fitness, to gardening/ taking care of different plants, and also a bit of reading. I think that having a lot of options for this project should help me get to a great idea but it is a bit overwhelming how open-ended this project is. I think the theme that I am considering the most is doing something related to plants and their growth. this can be measured pretty easily by taking photos and videos and making physical measurements of them. I think that this is a great start to a potential project idea. Here I've included a picture of one of the pups off of a plant my sister got me for Christmas a few years ago. This is from my Instagram, which might be a great spot to log the growth of the different plants I'll look at. Just an idea.       


That's all for now, until next time,

Luke Dunlop

Having the miniature version helped them t...
