I think presenting to the students at one of or both of the schools that your team represents is a great idea! It's a really good way to generate interest in the team (to students and faculty alike), and I think it's fairly common among FIRST teams. My team presents to our incoming freshman class every year at their freshman orientation, in addition to participating in the activities fair that is held during lunches to show students all the clubs that the school has. We also participate in other local events, such as our town fair, which not only excites students about the team, but is also a good way to share our work with the community, and sometimes results in donations, new sponsors, and new mentors. In short, running demos is beneficial to teams in many ways: you share your work with the community, gain new students/resources, and practice presentation and public speaking skills. I definitely think you should go forward with your idea. The content you're thinking of including also sounds really good. My only advice is if you'll be doing a formal presentation, like at an orientation event, you should try to keep it short and sweet so you don't bore the audience. Good luck!
