Re: Making a robotics presentation interesting
Simple: provide cookies. (your school might not like it, but the kids will!)*
Try and avoid over-crowding. You do want to attract a crowd, but try and spread your presentation out so that there isn't a giant mob of kids around one tiny table. Regardless of how much space you have, make the most of it! Large crowds can scare some people and cause others to just walk past because fighting their way to the table isn't worth the effort.
Don't forget to smile! Looking and being friendly will attract more people than you may think. Looking bored, even when traffic is slow, is a turn-off. Make sure that your team is wearing their shirts, too. Organization is attractive.
*I'm kidding. Get permission if your school offers cookies to purchase as part of the lunch menu.
