Chapter 63 Meet the pets zoom session

Zhuoyue Hao

Overview

To help overcome the lack of personal interactions associated with remote learning, the project is designed to be hosting a zoom session on meeting the pets, which all pet lovers can participant no matter if they have pets or not. At the beginning of the event, people who come with their pets will present a brief introduction about their pets, such as their names, breeds, ages, hobbies, favorite foods.

Then, people who come by themselves are expected to have some short videos (best if between 3-5 minutes) ready to share with everyone else. The videos could be any types – as long as it’s about pets! It should be really easy to find on YouTube or Tik-Tok.

We will also have some times for participants to exchange ideas on pet training techniques or feeding tips at the end of the session. People are welcomed to exchange contact information and stay in touch after the event, and hopefully we can have a chance to hang out in-person after the Covid period.
