HOW

Each day “attendees” will be guided through events on the Instagram and Facebook accounts. These events will vary between Instagram live videos, links to external web-pages with event walk-throughs, and more. 

Attendance will be tracked through "interactions" on the social media accounts. Each time a student “interacts” with a post or event they will be entered to receive a giveaway at the end of the week. 

Giveaway prizes: 

  • Klean Kanteen Waterbottle 

  • Beeswax Wrap

  • Reusable K-cup

  • Reusable Tea Infuser 

  • Bike 

Each day, we will explain the relevant “interactions” for that day. Some types of interactions that will occur during the week include:

  • Shares / likes / comments on posts

  • Responding to prompts in Instagram/Facebook stories

  • Logging into zoom-hosted events

  • Scanning the QR code on our social media that follows a particular post or video

  • Submitted a photo into our photo contest (explained below)

  • And more!
