14. Get students to construct an
Ignite Presentation
O What is ignite? Ignite is an event in over
100 cities worldwide. At the events Ignite
presenters share their personal and
professional passions, using 20 slides that
auto-advance every 15 seconds for a total

15. Get students to construct an
Ignite Presentation
Ignite talks should:
O Be about something you're passionate about. Don't talk about
'worthy' topics; talk about things you love. Your job is to show the
audience what it was about your topic that ignited a passion in you.
O Be profound. It is rumoured that speakers at TED are told "Say
whatever you want, just be profound!" It's good advice for an Ignite
talk too, but bear in mind that an Ignite talk is 300 seconds so
there's a limit to how profound you can be.
O Take a simple idea and explore it. You can't explore a huge idea in
300 seconds, so choose something manageable. Don't use wordy
slides. Pictures are good.
O Be a force for raising the collective IQ and building connections in
your city
