I'm an English teacher, not a dictionary. I had to look it up:
What a great word, right? Inquiry. It's all abuzz in the education world, but the quest for truth, information, and knowledge is all too familiar to every human at every level. This process is, by the very core nature of humanity, what we do here on earth!
So how does this apply to your #GeniusHour project? The next step in Geniusing is to shape your probletunity into a series of driving questions. These inquiries will drive your research and ultimately give you the necessary information to go about solving your complex probletunity.
The underlying purpose behind Genius Hour is that complex problems require complex problem-solving skills, so solutions to your probletunity are likely not obvious from day one. Getting there is a process of inquiry!
Here's how to go about it:
The idea is that you're taking a magnifying glass to your issue and trying to learn as much as possible about it through a series of questions that your research will ultimately answer. Post the questions on your blog.

Here's how to go about it:
- Ask yourself, "What do I need to know in order to fully understand this probletunity?" This may include information about causation, the history of the issue, what's been done to curb it in the past, how have others tried to solve it, what obstacles have stood in the way of solutions, etc.
- Now phrase these inquiries as questions. These questions will guide your research. This is an evolutionary process. Your first round should have at least five questions.
