Genius Hour Blog Post # 9

This week we had limited time, so I was mostly only able to do some more research on which schools and areas would be best for the focus of my project. Still need more viable sources.

This week I looked more into the PDF that I discussed earlier. I was looking for more schools and sources to use. I was able to narrow it down a bit in terms of schools, but didn't find much in the way of sources during our limited time.

School funding is my main focus, and I'm trying to help by providing aid that would be available to the schools that I will be working with with more funding. In class this week I mainly researched which schools I would be able to help, but wasn't able to find any sources that I felt I would be able to use, at least out of the sources I was able to read all the way through to the end.

Friday in class I came up with my topic proposal and a potential solution. I may volunteer some of my time to a school that is within a lower socioeconomic setting, and I may also try to donate books and/or other school supplies. I also found a cool PDF that could serve as a source:

It discusses the problems with funding for CPS as a whole and specific schools within it. I need to start to find the schools that most need my help.
