Genius Time - Google 20%

Students need time to be creative without strings attached and just learn about an area of interest or to challenge themselves to learn a new skill. Creative Time, Passion Time or Hour of Genius is one way we can give our students back the freedom that they need. It's proven in the biggest firms in the word so why not other classroom as well.
