What excites me most about genius hour?
What excites me most about Genius hour is the fact that I'm going to do something that I've been wanting to do for the longest time, and finally have someone to push me to do it. All I've been wanting to do all summer with my friend is to build our own Ironman suit, it seems a little to far fetched but now that I've found a blueprint for it and all the parts are just a hardware store away I think it can be very possible. Obviously its not going to fly or shoot laser out of its arms but it can sure look good on anyone we put it on. The most tricky part of the suit is probably going to be the helmet being that its going to have to fit to the persons head who wants to wear it. So if anyone wants to possibly buy one for a fair price they're going to have to come to me personally and i'd have to plaster their head for a few hours if they're willing. If this becomes a thing that i can do as a side job, it just might be the coolest thing i could do for a part time living.
what CONCERNS me most about my genius hour?
I'm taking two building classes this year and am really enjoying them they are Woods and Welding. Woods i find to be easier at the moment because woods is easier to correct yourself on your mistakes and also easier to redo something that you messed up on. Welding harder because if you mess up on one thing, you either have to restart or just attempt to cover it up by adding another piece of metal to it or just grinding it down. For most of my projects i plan on making these classes will help a lot in the learning experience. it will show me what to do and not do to wood. It'll also show how much time a project usually takes and when someone should be expecting it. The best part is that i may just make a good career out of this and may just be happy with what i do for a living, which is very hard to do for most people now these days.
what progress have i made so far with my project?
I haven't made any progress on the first thing I'm going to do. But i feel that in maybe the next month or so i may just be able to. my friend Justin is the one who i'm going to build the suit for. but because he wants it and i mostly just want the builing experience from it, he will be the one buying the parts and he dosen't have the money for it yet but in the next month he's getting a job and will start buying the parts. He wants the help build it as well to help the the progress of it because he really wants it as much as i want to start. Hopefully this will go as well as we planed.
