Kahoot! Trivia Hour

Are you looking to test your knowledge on a variety of topics? Well, UTA Libraries is launching a new event, the Kahoot! Trivia Hour to put your knowledge to the test on Tuesday, Feb. 21. 

Grace Backus, a library specialist with the Community Engagement Department, stated that the Kahoot Trivia Hour is a great event to foster community in a fun trivia night atmosphere. At the same time, participants answer questions on various topics. 

“Some students use Kahoot in their classes because it is a fun learning tool. We have also used it in our orientation session, which is a lot of fun,” Grace said. “Kahoot is a website that allows you to answer questions through your phone. The question pops up on the screen along with the answer choices. You then can click the answer you want.” 

The Kahoot! Trivia Hour will have three categories of questions. These categories include Black History Month, book-to-movie adaptations, and where is this quote from? Anyone is welcome to come and join any of the three Kahoot games. They can choose to play solo or bring friends. Prizes will be given out during the games. Food and drink will be available for contestants and audience members.  

Grace stated the event was developed by one of the UTA Libraries student employees, Isis Abe, who thought it would be great to have a fun interactive event like this. 

“It was our student’s idea,” Grace said. “She came to us with a trivia idea, and we thought it was a great idea. So, we told her to roll with it.” 

The event takes place from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21, in the UTA Central Library’s classroom, room 109, on the first floor. It is free and open to the public to attend.
