Not only did we communicate about our roles, but we also offered to help one another whenever possible. We also displayed great communication skills with our participants as we were cheerful and enthusiastic when responding to them. In one particular situation, a pair of Chinese students, who were only fluent in mandarin, eagerly wanted to understand what we were promoting. However, I was unable to articulate the event fluently in mandarin so my groupmate stepped up and attempted to explain the event to them. Eventually, they understood the message of our booth and even won prizes during “Wheel of Change”!  

 

My group displayed our organizational skills through our strategic planning of the position of our booth. Our booth was set-up in front of the entrance of block 52 and about 10 feet away from the vending machines. This was strategically planned in such a way so that we were able to attract students who were leaving the block or wanted to buy snacks to our booth. We promoted ourselves by saying that they could get snacks for free by simply playing a game and this immediately drew them in.

 

Moreover, there were too many students congested at our booth at certain points of the event. To overcome this, we suggested to some of the students to play the alternative game so as to reduce the congestion at a particular game. This illustrates our troubleshooting skills.
