Why Not? Wednesday: Project 365
It’s never a bad time to start a project. In fact, I start them all the time. The trouble is keeping up with all my half-baked ideas and finishing them. However, if you’re the type who wants something that challenges you to keep up with it everyday try a Project 365. Why not?
Read MoreWhy Not Wednesday: Make Your Own Board Game
I like to play board games. I also strongly believe that gaming can be effectively used in education. Therefore, I combined the two ideas this past year and invented two board games for my class. It may seem like a daunting task to create your own board game, but really, it’s not quite as difficult [...]
Read MoreWhy Not? Wednesday: Start a Blog

Read MoreWhy Not Wednesday: FanFiction
Let me lay some info on you: I am a terrible creative writer. No, really. I’m a scientist, so I’m great at science writing.

Read MoreWhy Not Wednesday: Archery
Archery has become surprisingly popular lately, by what seems to be a series of movie-related coincidences. Specifically, within months of each other we have had Avengers with Hawkeye and his bow, The Hunger Games with Katniss the hunter, and, most recently, Brave where Merida is an archery master.
