All right, so some high school kids who showed interest in being engineers are coming to my work on wednesday, and of course I'll be the only programmer in the office that day. So I, the snot-nosed junior programmer, am in charge of showing these kids what I do.
I don't program anything exciting at my work. Mainly ASP.Net web apps, either financial/busniess ones or data collection/reporting ones.
So what the hell do I do? I'll get cycled through groups of 3 kids or so, and I got about 15 to 20 minutes to do my thing. They're not gonna be interested in OO design or some stupid (yet very useful!
) crap like that, I don't think they're gonna be wanting to see any of the code, and the applications themselves would bore them to tears. And that leaves me with.... what exactly?
I'm recruiting a guy that does GIS work us to show some pretty pictures. I think they'll like that, at least somewhat. But I'm at a loss as to what I can do. Suggestions very much appreciated!
