Summary
I am looking for someone talented at Blender who is willing to volunteer to lead a 45-minute presentation on the power of Blender (i.e. short live demonstrations, previous personal projects, popular open source projects) to high school students in Cincinnati, OH for a 700+ attendee technology expo.
Details
I am a Digital Design freshman at the University of Cincinnati and student Steering Committee member for TechOlympics Expo, a conference being produced by the INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati at the Millennium Hotel March 5 - 7, 2010. This collaboration of more than 45 businesses, 56 high schools, and 4 universities started up less than 5 years ago to encourage Cincinnati high school students to attend local colleges to study technology is now preparing for a first annual 700+ attendee technology expo. I have been asked to reach out to those familiar and skilled with Blender.
The TechOlympics Expo is a healthy competition among high school students from all over the Greater Cincinnati region. The expo is from Friday, March 5 to Sunday March 7, during which competitions will take place and students will attend breakout sessions. I am writing to ask you to consider helping us by running a 45-minute breakout session in which you will demonstrate Blender. As a presenter, you will be asked to visit the Millennium Hotel (where the expo will take place) around 10am Sunday morning and will be finished before noon. For more information about the conference, please visit http://www.techolympics.org.
If you are interested, please email me (ryan.finke at gmail dot com) at your earliest convenience as to whether you are able to volunteer as a Blender presenter. Thank you.

I'm glad there's going to be a breakout session for Blender. Hopefully it will introduce Blender to interested people who will want to go into CG graphics. Sorry, but I can't do one. I'm not that great with it and I don't live in Cincinnati.
is there an age limitation? if this person was 16... could they do it? :P
yeah..could??
I'd really like doing it, but I live in India :( You can see in the news, that me and a friend of mine did one at my place.
I live in Cinci but I still suck at Blender...
I've been using blender to model for about 5 years now and live in akron. I'd be interested in co-presenting with someone for sure. You can see some of my works on my online portfolio, http://www.behance.net/ddmx488 , although it's a tad outdated.
