I'm planning to show my glider at a local high school and also have
the opportunity to give a 30 minute talk on "What is Soaring".
Does anyone have access to a PowerPoint presentation/file that could
be emailed to me? I'll have access to their audio/visual system and
it would be a great addition to the day. Thanks in advance.
I don't have what you're asking for, but, if you're planning to allow students to sit in the cockpit or get close to the assembled glider, please give them a good briefing about handling such a delicate and expensive piece of equipment.
I once let a neighborhood kid sit im my glider while I was working on it in the street in front of my house. He must have seen a video of Patty Wagstaff throwing her Extra around the sky, because he immediately began slamming the stick back and forth from one stop to the other.

You could roll your own using the above as a start.
Be sure to mention the Cadet (print some applications) Youth Flight
Scholarship and the Kolstad College Scholarship.
BTW, Rachel Conklin (2011 Kolstad) received a standing ovation at the
SSA Awards Banquet in Reno. First time long time SSA members could
recall that happening. All Ralph Kolstad did was emotionally read her
application letter.
I just found it. Its only 14 slides but that should be enough for a
thirty minute presentation, especially if you throw some videos in. It
looks like Eric Greenwell is the original author.

There's a message there - don't put a wingtip down, use two wing
stands to keep the wings level if you're going to show a glider in
public crowds. It looks better that way anyway. Take along someone
for crowd control if you can.

Plus, put tail boom on a stand to keep the horizontal well out of
reach and to pose the glider. One wing high, the other low strikes a
nice pose. I drilled a one inch hole in several round paving slabs,
then cut some pvc lengths and glued t-joints on top. These make good
stanchions. A bright yellow poly rope runs from stanchion to
stanchion to rope off the area and allow one point of entry/exit to
the glider area. Bring extra help.
