Umoja Fair Booths

Advice 2¢

This booth offered advice to teachers, counselors, and other conference participants from a students perspective. Participants were able to pose questions and get answers from an experienced student about students the teachers have, different situations they have encountered, and how they should approach a student/ situation. What better way to get advice about students than from students themselves!

DJ’s Corner

The DJ booth played all the different songs from various artists that the students had chosen for their workshops. Here participants were offered a handout listing the music used throughout the entire conference.

Edu Post-it Poetry

This particular booth was inspired by magnetic poetry. Conference participants were offered various educational themed words thought of by students themselves on post-it notes, as well as blank post-its to write in their own words. With these words inspiring poems of all shapes, forms and colors were created on the wall.

FIN/Umoja Booth

Jenny and Jerry Helpline

Jenny and Jerry is a concept the Chabot College students came up with. Jenny and Jerry are the ‘lost students,’ they are unreachable, sometimes unapproachable, distracted students texting in the back of your classroom. But Jenny and Jerry are so much more than that, their stories run deep and complex. At this booth different stories and aspects of a student like Jenny or Jerry were written up on  a giant poster. There was a student at the booth offering explanations and advice on how teachers should deal with students like Jenny or Jerry. Teachers and students were also asked to share their own experiences with that type of student on the poster.
