I am a volunteer for Let's Talk Science, an organization which places science graduate students into elementary school and high school classrooms to present short, fun, yet educational demonstrations or experiments related to their particular field. Physics, Chemistry, and Biology have an abundance of such demonstrations, however as a computer scientist, I have no good ideas of what I can present to these students which will demonstrate computer programming and computers in an understandable yet inspiring way in only a 1 - 3 hour presentation. So I am turning to SO for suggestions. Thanks.
Presentation Requirements
- Length: 1 - 3 hours.
- Explainable in a single sitting.
- Captivates elementary school and high school audiences.
- Educational.
Please Note
- Computer's are available at the schools.
- Please, indicate the suitable age range for your suggestion in your answer.
