Sharing another experience…

I had two Tech Demos at my university. After having a session weeks before explaining the idea of the Project of Sun Community. This project is open to any student of the university who wants to be involved with Sun and with its technologies. Having the opportunity to learn, participate and have fun! They also will get the benefits of discounts for certifications. They are encouraged to enroll to the courses at Sun Academic Initiative. In this session topics such as OpenSolaris and Java gaming were explained to the assistants. Inviting them to install OpenSolaris on their computers and develop a game with Java.

Topics were Netbeans Desktop Application and Web Application, these are some of my favorites topics to give since they are really easy to use and explain. Students are always surprised about how easy it is and how useful can be.
For both demos I arranged with the catering services of the university to get a pass to have a meal at the cafeteria. This means students use its pass to have a meal whenever they want.

I recommend to the campus ambassadors to give their demos at a lab. This is because they can follow you doing the exercise at the same time. Make sure the software you will be using for your presentation is correctly installed at the lab. The other option is to ask to assistants to bring their own laptops with the software previously installed.

Good luck to all my fellow campus ambassadors.
