What is 20 Time / Genius Hour?

20 Time is the idea where an employee/student is allowed to spend 20% of their time each week working on topics that they are most interested in, so long as it benefits the company.  Google is probably the most famous of those implementing this approach, and many of their most successful ventures, like gmail, came from this model. 

Below is a slide deck of a presentation I gave on 20 Time to students in the San Jose State Teacher Credentialing Program.  This gives a great overview of 20 Time, along with many of the resources I used to make it happen.  You can view the slide deck here: http://bit.ly/2EFPPhQ
