Faculty, staff and students are invited to play \"old school\" arcade games, experience virtual reality, and take green-screen photos during a United Way fundraising event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 9 in the Arkansas Union Ballroom. The event will be hosted by the University of Arkansas Global Campus.<\/p>\n
Have fun at this one-day event while making donations to the 2019 U of A United Way campaign, which continues through Oct. 15. This year's campaign theme is \"Change Does Not Happen Alone.\" Donations will support numerous organizations that help children and families in need.<\/p>\n
Participants can play classic arcade games:<\/p>\n
Instructional Design and Support Services staff will help participants strap on virtual-reality headsets to enjoy immersive experiences that are educational and engaging. Experience the wonder and majesty of the ocean, play the role of a secret agent with telekinetic abilities, take an elevator to a wooden plank anchored 80 floors above the ground, or paint in a three-dimensional space with stars, light and fire.<\/p>\n
Finally, get your photo taken with a backdrop of Paris, a peak in the Alps, on the Yucatan Peninsula or other exotic sites. The Global Campus Media Production team will place participants in front of a green-screen background and use chroma key photography to replace the solid-colored background with selected sites.<\/p>\n
U of A employees can donate online at unitedway.uark.edu to support the United Way.<\/p>\n
