For those of you who are ever speaking to students who are in high school about pursuing an IT career, here's what I said for mine. It would have been helpful to be given an example of what "exactly" people present besides an outline because I made everything up and hoped for the best instead of having an example to base my content off of.
I was given the advice to explain more of what I do at my job on a day-to-day basis, as opposed to providing advice on how to be successful in college/land an internship successfully and whatnot.
The presentations were aimed at a 50 minute class towards the student who is most likely to fall asleep/get bored (meaning I tried to be entertaining and informative by what I said and providing videos for the students to watch to give further insight and something to watch besides me talking). I also wanted to be funny because I'm sure high school students don't want to listen to some monotone person blabbing for awhile and because I was giving this presentation on the last week of school.
I also removed some of my personal information from the presentation. Enjoy!
