While this question may seem out of the blue, the idea of a 3-D printer and art tutorials are quite similar. Just about a week ago, a man of the name of Mr. Cowen presented his home-made 3-D print to my peers and I. This printer was composed of wood, magnets, small support beams, a drill bit, and a raspberry computer. Simply by sending the computer instructions and having a plastic coil on hand, contructions could be made in a matter of minutes. Mr. Cowen had a simple goal in mind when making this 3-D printer and that was to construct a machine to help others around him. The simplcity of generating parts and tools with little money needed is remarkable and efficient. Even with the wow factor of this incrediable machine, a presentation can sometimes be boring. Drawing out to the last second before one's mind wonders elsewhere. Luckily, along with his intelligence, his wits came into play. Many addition components were added to this presntation aside from a powerpoint. Mr. Cowen also brought for various creations he had made with his 3-D printer and stories that went along with the object. Various gestures and mostly constant eye contact got my peers to keep attention on him with rarely any breaks.
So Mr. Cowen did a fantastic job on presenting a topic to the class. So to take away from this, I now have various ideas on how to present my genius hour project to my peers. Printing out the tutorials and laminating them to pass out amoung the class will be a must. Keeping attention can usually be achieved if there's something to engage your mind with. Also providing stories with pictures with give people at least something to take away if one isn't interested at all.
