1. Genius Hour in Education
Genius people are of great demand in all places which
means people with exceptional intelligence, creative mind,
brilliant and exceptional skill in a particular area. Every one
is genius in one or other thing but many are unaware about
it as they are not allowed to explore their passion with the
education system that prevails.
“If you are working on something exciting that you really
care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls
you.” - Steve Jobs

2. When one does a work or study a thing according to his/her
interest/passion surely it will be a great success. Here
comes the importance of “Genius Hour”.
Genius Hour was first introduced by Google to its engineers
where they are allowed to spend 20% of their time to work
on projects in which they are more interested and
passionate.
This has resulted in increased productivity and main thing
to be noted is that about 50% of Google’s projects have
been created in this time period. Many organizations have
adopted the same. This is a nice idea to be implemented in
education.
In education, Genius Hour is a student-driven learning
where students are allowed to explore their passion and
learn interested topics. This will enhance the learning
ability of students and enable them to think beyond the
curriculum.

3. Students will be able to think on their own, do their own
research, rise questions and get into a conclusion for
producing an effective result. The mentor/ teacher has to
make sure that the session enable the students to learn
joyfully.
Teachers need to guide and converse with students who
have trouble in creating and producing a concept or a thing
to stimulate the creativity in them. Students has to be
encouraged to create, explore, solve problem and construct
their own learning in Genius Hour. It is a creative time
period where students are permitted to think and perform
an action independently for gaining better output.
The freedom given to the students motivates them to
explore innovative ideas and take ownership of their
learning which means they can become life long learners.
Practicing Genius Hour in classroom will make students
enthusiastic. Why can’t you try it for your students?
