Jason, An hour?! That's the toughest crowd on the planet. But also the most rewarding. I recently did one of those gigs for a school (we did an install there last summer) and did an "audience participation" where a group of three boys were photons, and three girls were electrons, with the teacher being the sun. Had a module set up on a stand and had the teacher send the photons to the mod, and then the electrons moved from the mod to spin me around in an office chair..about a 5 minute thing, but the kids loved it. Also had a solar powered attic fan (the real thing) with a detached module to show them more than just a toy ( protected fan with hardware cloth so no curious fingers could explore the blades) they were able to see what happens when the module is in sunlight and then out of sunlight. Got a lot of "wows" out of that..If you will contact me off list, I will send you the short power point that I used. at the teacher's request I left a copy in the library computer for their future use...

I've been doing PowerPoint presentations and games in the past for these types of events, but I'm finding it a bit stale. Any ideas to create a little more excitement and wonder?
