Ted Talks

When we were told we had to do a Ted Talk my mind went to Robotics first. I had some experience making slides but not much in speaking. I had to figure out how to make eye contact, make it funny, and speak with a clear and loud voice. I started out with doing research and then I made the slides and practiced. When it was time for me to share one of my interests I was so nervous but I knew I had to do it so, I took a deep breath and started talking. As I kept on talking about different things and I got less nervous. A hard part of this was speaking and doing a presentation. My slides were nice and I knew what I was saying. I had some notes but not much. I had practiced and the words just came to me. I spoke with a clear voice, I had some humor and I had eye contact. In the end, I hit the mark of 5 minutes exactly. I was so excited to be done and not have to worry about doing a presentation anymore.
