Ignite Talk on FIRST Robotics, "Why Every H.S. in AZ Should have a H.S. Robotics Team

[falconmaster]

Here is a new venue modeled after the TED.com talks. It is much shorter though but still kind of cool! I presented the following 5 min. Presentation, 20 slides, 15 sec. each-that about 1 to 2 sentences per slide. It was a challenge!

I will try to do better next time. But I did get the FIRST word out!!!!

That was an awesome presentation, and a very convincing argument as to why it is so badly needed. I also thought you did a great job. That looks like a very difficult thing to do.

Any chance of putting up the presentation or template as a white paper?

Very nice presentation! I thought you did a fantastic job, speaking not just about FIRST, but about the challenge of STEM emphasis as a whole.

And you hit the nail on the head with the satellite shot of your school campus!

Great slideshow! The elevator speech for FIRST is such a challenge. You did a great job.
(Try to keep FIRST in caps)
Ignite is very popular here in Baltimore. Sold out performances.

Thanks for posting this. Some other mentors from 488 and I are hopeful we can do the same at one of Ignite gatherings in Seattle.

Do it! Its a rush! Try to explain FIRST in 5 Minutes to people who don't have a clue!

Wow, I just might come back to this thread in September when Team 93 is gearing up for the rookies as a quick way to explain what FIRST is about. Even after that, I would still want to use it at our biggest PR day of the year, Octoberfest.
