• 'Failure'
•  "The Meaning of LIfe as Told by a Clementine"
• Curiosity without limits (viewed May9)
• the-physics-poetry-duality

Tips:

• Choose a topic that engages you!
• Use note cards to organize your speech.
• Choose relevant images- remember to cite them!
• Large images work best.
• Use as little text as possible.
• No more than 4 images per slide; 1 is fine.
• Make slides consistent they should look/feel roughly similar in format.
• Practice against timed version.
• Practice standing up and projecting your voice.
• Avoid “umms” and “ahhs”; silent pauses are fine.
• Let your slides do the work of advancing your ideas.

We all look forward to witnessing what you will bring to share!
