what progress have you made in the last month on your genius hour project?
In the past few months I have continued researching all I need to know about foreign exchange. I have decided to do a summer program (4-8 weeks) during the summer of 2016. Hopefully, by then AFS will have a few more options to go to my top countries. I have looked at the money aspect of it and came up with some fundraising ideas to help me with that. I have discovered that you can GAP year abroad (which is for high school graduates), so I may do that program instead of missing a year of high school.
What steps do you plan to take in the next 3 weeks to further your progress on your project?
The next few weeks, I plan to continue my search and find some blogs of previous foreign exchange kids who have gone to the countries I'd like to go to. Also, I'd like to come up with more plans to fundraise money. I will also continue working on my foreign language (German) skills so I can be mostly fluent by the time I depart.
