Doing a presentation about SpeedCubing

Okay, I think I'm gonna be able to do a good presentation tomorrow. Hopefully I get some people into speedcubing. If there are some older kids that have their own computers I will tell them about the speedsolving forums and maybe they will register for a competition. Also I am getting paid $20 to do this, so I can buy some lube or something (I am running out of lube and money lol)
 
Can you do 3bld? That would really blow their minds. Or you could show them Charlie Eggins wr solve since he’s a similar age to them.
I can't do 3 blind, I wish I could.
Charlie is like 4 years older than the oldest ones though.
Yiheng is probably a better cuber to show them
 
I think the basic structure should probably be something like this:

- Quick introduction of yourself. Basically go off of what Arcanist said. Do the "Hi my name is" stuff, do a solve to grab their attention, and explain that they too are capable of solving a cube.
- Explain some of your cubing backstory, and where you are now. I think here would be good to mention competitions. Talking about some prominent cubers like Max Park or Tymon Kolasiński would be good, but especially Yiheng Wang because of their age similarity.
- Encourage them to learn how to solve, and give a quick overview of the beginners method. Not exactly trying to teach them, but telling them how it works. Make sure you touch on what algorithms (and notation) are and when/how they're used. Give some resources at the end, make sure they have a way to reach out to you. Could be via email, phone, mail, etc.

Just go with your gut and write a quick script off of this. Be passionate and energetic. Talk TO them and not AT them.

Hope this helps, good luck!

The presentation is going to start soon, and this post is probably the best way to do my presentation. I'll tell you all how it goes once it's done, and hopefully I get some people into speedcubing!
