Who Am I?
My name is Jackson Clark, and I am a sophomore in Mr. Barker's English II Honors STEM class at Davie County High School.
Mr. Barker has given us a 12 week "challenge", called the Genius Hour Project, where the rule is that there are no rules.

What is Genius Hour?
The Genius Hour Project is a 12 week endeavor, in which we take on a passion of our own choosing. This project can be used to learn new skills, improve existing skills, or better our selves in some aspect. The project is meant to be a "passion project" in that we should be interested in what we are doing, and possess a personal motivation to reach the end goal.
What is my Genius Hour Project?
For the last year, I have been a member of Tsoiotsi Tsogalii's AIA team. AIA is a program that promotes Native American culture, such as the different styles of Dancing, Singing, and Drumming. Over the course of these 12 weeks, I want to learn how to Grass Dance and learn a handful of new drum songs.
Why?
In my year's experience with the AIA team, I have found a passion for the culture. I love learning about different dances and songs, and I love spending time with the people involved in our lodge.
