😟  I am nervous about what you will talk about for your final given how the project is going for some of you. Please give this some careful thought and post your answer:

You have 4 more class work days on the genius hour project.
Consider the work you have done on it so far.

 How will you have completed enough to give your TED Talk final?

2. What your background/ interests are and how that led you to this project
3. One "Big Question" your project will answer
