SECTION 5
Video Presentation
We would also like you to send us a short video presentation. We would like you to teach us
something in 3-5 minutes. It could be ANYTHING at all (within reason!). We are looking for a
structured, entertaining lesson on anything of your choice. How to juggle, how to say
something in a foreign language, how to land the perfect back-flip, how to pleat hair, etc. The
importance is not on what you teach us, but how you deliver it. We like funny presentations,
so make us laugh if you can!
