Presentation Tips
Below are a few tips for providing interactive presentations to teens & kids:
Have the audience draw along with you in illustration workshops.
Include videos, audio, or other animation in slide presentations.
Try to engage everyone by asking direct questions and polling the audience.
Remember to save time at the end for Q&A.

Please bring your own laptop or device to run the presentation.
Each presentation area will have a ceiling mounted projector & speaker, VGA cord, and audio cord.
A wi-fi access will be provided.
RRISD is a Google district and does not have means of connecting iDevices. If you plan to bring an Apple product for presenting, then you will need to bring a converter to work with a VGA cable.
