You will learn how to speak clearly in front of your class, use confident body language, and tell stories people remember. You will also practice calm ways to handle nerves, answer questions, and build a short demo day pitch with a clear problem and solution.
12 modules • Each builds on the previous one
Public speaking means sharing your ideas out loud to a group. You will learn why it matters at school and for demo days, and what makes a presentation easy to follow.
Before you speak, decide who you are talking to and what you want them to know, feel, or do. This helps you choose the best words and examples.
Stage fright is a worried feeling before speaking. You will learn simple tricks to calm your body and brain so you can start strong.
A strong voice is not shouting—it is speaking clearly, at a good speed, with helpful pauses. This helps everyone understand you.
Your body helps your words. You will practice posture, eye contact, and hand gestures that show you are ready and respectful.
A great talk is like a path with signs. You will learn how to organize ideas into a beginning, middle, and end so people can follow along.
The first and last parts are the most remembered. You will learn easy ways to start (a question, a surprising fact) and end (a summary, a thank-you).
Stories make people care. You will learn a simple story plan (character, problem, steps, solution) and how to add a few key details.
Notes and pictures can help you remember and help the audience learn. You will practice using cue cards, posters, or slides without turning your back.
Practice is how speakers get better. You will learn short practice routines, how to time yourself, and how to use kind, helpful feedback.
After you present, people may ask questions. You will learn how to listen, pause, answer in one or two sentences, and say 'I’m not sure yet' if needed.
A pitch is a short talk that explains a problem and how your project helps. You will build a simple demo day pitch for Alpha-style demo days: what it is, who it helps, and why it matters.
