Genius Hour Introduction

Hey, my name is Devan, I am a 13 year old grade eight student in junior high. I live in Edmonton with my older brother, my parents and my guinea pig. Some hobbies I have are ball hockey, badminton, volleyball, basketball and i’m on my school’s Senior girls volleyball team. Besides school athletic activities I play league basketball and am in 2 badminton clubs.

My partner Ella and I are working together to learn how to make soap for our genius hour work period. Our hope is to learn about all the ingredients Rocky Mountain Soaps uses in their bars and use some for the soaps we want to create. Rocky Mountain Soaps is a skin care company who uses organic products and sells items such as soap bars, lip balms, hand sanitizer and bath bombs. The soaps Ella and I would like to create represent all 4 seasons. For spring we have lavender, for summer we have honey lemon, for autumn we have pumpkin spice and for winter we have gingerbread.
