Overview

1 hour may not seem like a lot of time, but much can be accomplished. You could take a nap, grocery shop, rewatch an episode of your favorite series, or you could make something! For the 1 Hour challenge, we want you to show off your projects of any kind that can reasonably be made from start to finish within an hour time period. 

This is the perfect time to share your favorite after school projects, crafts to do with friends, or even a quick recipe. Make the most of your time and you could win a $250 Amazon gift card. 

The 1 Hour Challenge is closed.
