Excellent idea!
I've toyed with the idea of asking if a team could videotape their presentation so other teams could see the presentation process and perhaps be inspired to come up with more effective presentations. However, there are drawbacks if teams focus too much on their 5 minute presentation rather than how the team works towards their vision of FIRST core values.
Watching a voluntary "live" presentation allows teams to not only see some good presentations, but to interact with team members who are striving to change the culture. That interaction and exchange of ideas and issues would really be one public display of what FIRST is all about.
Any team could find a place at a competition (even the parking lot!) and publicize the time and place. Saturday would be a good time since the presentations to the judges would be completed and the presenters would have chance to give their impressions on what the judges focused on.
I really like this idea! I would love to see the presentations!
