Genius Hour Update

This last week I have done a little more in depth research on how to do an oil change. I came across a website that had broken down an oil change into 25 steps in five sections… talk about being overwhelmed!! As I started reading the steps, I realized that these steps had been extremely broken down into some steps I felt did not need their own step for, and was actually not as overwhelming as I had originally thought. I was able to find some pictures that were useful to my understanding, but I still do not think that I could ever do an oil change by myself just based off of this research.

Reading through the research I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I NEED pictures to understand anything related to cars, I do not think I could ever be an auto mechanic, and, the most important, that I do enjoy being challenged. Looking at a task that I really have no idea how to do, I realize that this is something that is challenging.


Moving forward, I am going to start comparing the research I have done with my brother’s knowledge. I want to see if there are any differences between what I researched and how he does it. He has been an auto mechanic for about five years, so I imagine he has some shortcuts!
