Presentation to school kids - audience participation?
Discussion
Hi All
Some audience participation ideas please!
I've volunteered to give a talk to some secondary school pupils (yr 7 ) next week on careers in the Science/Engineering/tech sector.
I'm more than happy with that, happy to field questions & let discussions run & I've got some interesting stuff to jolt them out of the STEM=uncool Geek thinking but wondering if anyone had any ideas for activities to get the kids re-engaged & involved every so often. I want to break it up every 20 mins or so with something to involve audience participation (hour & a bit I'm there for).
I've a few ideas but I'm sure the PH Massive will have a few more. Anything that just wakes them up! They may or may not have internet access/phones with them. Won't know till I get there. Some schools do allow & some don't apparently.
Not trying to teach any technical material, just fire at least one imagination!

Thanks for those folks. I haven't got time to get all Raspberry Pi on them for this one but that's an idea for the future.
My background is electronics, RF & Internet incidentally.
It's just a typical classroom setting so not much scope for other than chalk & talk and want to break it up a bit & re-grab their attention.
