We need people that have been in the classroom to make policy about the classroom. #realtalk #RedForEd

So glad to have special guest Senator @Paulatics in our class today for Read In and some political discussion #ReadInWeek

A few of our brilliant minds were recognized yesterday in the Grade 9 Awards Ceremony

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Congratulations to Allison! Her short story "Welcome Back" won third place amongst grade 9s nationwide in the Polar Expressions contest. Way to go!

Teens are known for their love of eating, so no surprise that we had a number of junior chefs in #GeniusHour, but I’m impressed with how they challenged themselves. Leah shows off her sugar cookie art

Saramsha and Jasper became ice cream makers for #GeniusHour. There was vanilla, dark chocolate, and salted caramel, but I was so excited to try it, I forgot to take a picture!

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Fatima and Sibghah challenged themselves with three of the trickiest desserts - baklava, napoleons, and eclairs. They made each at least twice to improve their techniques #GeniusHour

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Jessica wanted to make macarons. She was full of tips and tricks to make us all better bakers #GeniusHour

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Not only did Adrienne and Tiana learn to prepare traditional Korean dishes, they also learned a lot of cooking skills that will help them feed themselves #GeniusHour

History comes to life with our Japanese village from the Edo period

Ben and Naveen have created smart boxing gloves that give you feedback on form and force. Could this be a way to fight inactivity in youth? #GeniusHour #innovation

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Garima hates it when her socks fall down inside her boots, so she designed socks with extra grip that are still comfortable and aesthetically pleasing #GeniusHour #innovation

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Bowen and Saramsha created a variety of phone cases testing hot glue, potato starch, silicon and 3D printing #GeniusHour

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Jasper and Nick created a prototype for a solar powered boat #GeniusHour #innovation

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Zoya was upset that Dunkaroos got discontinued so she and Jessica set out to recreate them. 3D printing didn’t quite work out for the packaging, but they nailed flavour and texture #GeniusHour

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Justin and Spencer are lefties. Smudgy graphite drives them crazy so they designed, tested, and manufactured smudge guards #GeniusHour #problemsolvers

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Theo has trouble waking up in the morning. His goal was an alarm clock that squirts you with water. He made a water pump that works with a timer. #GeniusHour #innovation

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Typical teenagers, Daniel and Zaid wanted to get away with wearing only a hoodie outdoors in the cold. Their fourth prototype works! #GeniusHour #innovation

[Mrs Englot's class @8geniuses]

Sophia made an economical, all natural, and effective eczema cream for her #GeniusHour project. It went so well she expanded into lip balm!
