Genius Project Forum Showcases Student Passion
Apr 27, 2018
Sage Creek’s annual Genius Project Forum was held yesterday, April 26. Students went to assigned classrooms to watch and present. To start the forum, juniors pitched their ideas to seniors, sophomores and community members where they received feedback and helpful ideas. During this time, freshmen attended a financing and loan seminar and an alumni panel where they could ask last year’s graduates for advice.
In the afternoon, senior presentations took place. Seniors gave TED-style talks about their journeys through the project. At the end of the talks, each student voted on who they thought should be one of the eight to present at the Genius Project Symposium on May 17.
