Hall of Fame offers a lot of formal networking meetings like the Career Expo where students can submit their resume to prospective employers. Workshops where Hall of Famers can teach students professional and industry skills in a classroom environment. Finally Green Room and Meet and Greets where a small group of students can meet a guest or Hall of Famer to talk about the industry and make connections.
"Interactive Creative Challenges is a way for guest and Hall of Fame inductees to meet with students in a fun low-pressure environment."
In an interview with Stephanie Rizzo, Staff writer at Platinum, she said: "It is much more humanizing to see a guy with an academy award riding a giant blow-up unicorn than it is to meet him across a desk in a formal one on one resume toting situation".
On the topic of riding a blow-up unicorn, one of the challenges is the unicorn race. Where participants wear a unicorn horn headband and they ride an inflatable unicorn. The rules of the race, you have to continually bounce from the starting point to the end of the raceway and back. One of the biggest rules of the race is there is no running with the unicorn.
After an intense panel, meet and greets, and workshops it is a great chance to get the blood flowing and not have to sit in a chair for a long period of time. The unicorn race is a physically demanding game because it requires you to rely heavily on your quadriceps to propel you forward to get from one end of the raceway to another. When you are done with whatever panels you decide to get involved with do try the unicorn race. Make sure you wear the right type of pants or shorts so you do not rip them.
