This week for our blood drive we worked on a lot of the background information and setting everything up. The coordinator for the drive reached out to us to set up our personal Blood Drive’s account. Setting it up was a little confusing at first but after working for a while we got the hang of it. On the account it has our schedule and times for people to be able to sign up virtually. It is an option to either pick a regular donation or Power Red. We looked more into this and Power Red is when they add platelets back into your blood and it tends to last longer. After making our account the same day we got several family members and friends to sign up, the outcome of our drive is already looking hopeful.
Along with signing up for the account we made some templates to post on our Instagram and Snap-chat stories. We also made some for our parents to post on Facebook. We posted them a few days ago and are planning on every week to two weeks reposting them while approaching the date. We were going to get the donors to just send us a message to make it more convenient rather than them having to go in and make an account. Next week we are planning to send out emails to anyone we know about signing up for the blood drive. This week we were preparing for that by gathering all their emails, so next week all we have to do is type the email and we can send it out. We are working diligently to have a successful blood drive and we cannot wait to see the outcome! Below is a picture of us working on our Blood Drive account.

This was our first week doing Genius Hour. We choose to do a blood drive for our Genius Hour project and will be updating our progress every week on here. This week we decided that our blood drive will be on November eleventh. We also gave the lady in charge of the blood drive our contact information, so that she can contact us while going through this process. We worked on the basis on creating our website and are continuing to work on it. Above is a picture we took while working on our website. In the upcoming week we are planning to come up with a way for people to sign up to give blood. |
