Black Lives Matter Symposium

I attended the first presentation at the symposium. The presentation was presented by Teresa Zackodnik with her talk“Intense Continuities” about Media Technologies and their connection to Black Protest. I had a bit of trouble hearing Teresa due to some microphone problems. Even though I had a slightly hard time to hear Teresa I believe that I got some of the main points. Social Media plays a huge role in spreading the opinions and information about inequality and racism that today’s minorities face. The main point I heard was Teresa’s point about “taking the hashtag outside”, using our social media and our reach to spread our message. We are standing up to the targeting of African Americans. Social Media plays a huge role in our lives today and we have started using it to our advantage.

Road Trip To Graduation Rules

Road Trip To Graduation Rules:

Follows the same concept as the game “Life”

First, player will spin the spinner and move the amount of spaces according to the number you spin.

Next, you will receive a card coordinating with the space you landed on.

You will either get a good event (Praise Jesus), a bad event (OH FUCK!), or just a normal day at the library.

The main point of this game is to graduate the fastest. If two players graduate in the same round, the person with the most life cards (gained through Praise Jesus card rewards) will win the game.

Board Game Brainstorm

Our idea for our board game is based on the game Life. We plan on changing it slightly to be more on college. Life and instead of money you will have hours of sleep and based on where you land you can gain or loose sleep.
