Today I had a presentation to a group of 23 high school students who will become SFU freshmen this fall. The presentation was held in spectacular IRMACS theater, courtesy of SFU School of Computing Science.
According to the content of the presentation, I put on the topic "Open Possibilities @ CS SFU". I want to emphasize not just importance of open source movement but also being open-mind and opening oneself to opportunities as well. Items that I included in the presentations are the following:
- Sun Microsystem
- SAI program
- Sun's involvement in open source community
- My trip to JavaOne 2007 "Open Possibilities" in San Francisco
- Sun Campus Ambassador and my work on evangelizing Sun technologies
- Computing Science program @ SFU
- Tips for setting educational goals and career path
Me in action
Engaging audience
The students seem to be enjoying the presentation. Many expressed interest in finding out more about Sun, SAI, and campus ambassador program after the presentation. All in all, I hope I didn't do such a bad job in promoting Sun and my school =) !
