One of my classes required all of the students to do a 20 minute presentation on something that they are passionate about. Like many others on this forum, I turn every opportunity I get to stand on my soapbox for FIRST.
I mainly used the FIRST Overview powerpoint found on
www.usfirst.org. I Added some of my own slides, my teams pictures, some video from competitions, and my own personal flare. I had a student in the class record the presentation so I can share it with the community in case others come across a speech class or something of the sort and need guidance on how to do a presentation like this. I used as much humor as possible to keep the audience entertained and listening.
I took out the quotes from the original powerpoint from
The World is Flat and added others from the book that I thought fit better. Most of this presentation can easily be replicated just by searching for pictures and video from the internet, some can not. If you would like help duplicating any of my slides, I will gladly lend assistance if enough time is given in advance.
Enjoy.
FIRST: My Passion
