      Hi,
      we have a bunch of 14-years old Grade 9 students coming to the office as part of a Bring Your Kid to Work campain; I am to show them SketchUp in a short demo, and was looking for some videos showing the various features of the software in a very short movie clip... something with a high WOW factor but without all the technical how-to background, those kids have a rather short attention span.

      I found lots of "how-to" tutorial addressing specific issues, but no overall video that would pack the "cool stuff" into a 2-3 min show... anyone knows where I could get something like that?

      Alternatively, if you know of an overall SketchUp flyer-brochure-ready to print page that looks good, I would print copies for them to take home. Any leads will be much appreciated.
      TIA

      Marek

        This sounds like a cool project (I also teach a couple of kids of around the same age).

        Not as if I had any ready made material but i can make the topic be a global announcement for a couple of days. 😉

          thanks Gaieus,
          back when SU5 was around, they had a "Watch Me First" video, then located at this link (now dead: http://download.sketchup.com/downloads/training/tutorials50/movies/Mkt_B5-watch_me_first.html)
          Anyone by chance has saved a copy of the promo video that was placed there?

          And isn't it funny that so much detail stuff can be found for every possible aspect of the software, but no product-selling propaganda even exists? 😆

          I never thought I'll asking for some...

            I can't think of anything like a promo vid, but maybe show them what other people have made? Here is a video about the winners of the student bridge modeling competition....made by your students' peers no less 😉

                  I forgot this one. Ideal length and running commentary.

                      thanks Guys!

                      I had no idea so much valuable content migrated to YouTube, will check it out tonight - somehow my corporate network does not like me browsing through the Tube stuff... wonder why ...

                      best

                        This video just in the SketchUpdate could be nice.

                            Thank you ALL for giving your advise and suggestions to this topic; we had a group of 14 kids from various area schools (all grade 9s), showed them a 4 minutes intro (instructional) video from YouTube, then a 3 min. "cool stuff" video with tanks and game design by Massive Black, then finally a video on ancient Rome also including the Google Earth interface.

                            Then one of our architectural Coop University Students winged a 3D model of a Wii console - she did not tell the kids what was it supposed to be, but they guessed anyway within the first 2 minutes.

                            Finally, we had all of them try the software for 15-20 minutes; some got bored quickly, but about 1/3 got so much into it that they even printed color prints of their models! Great stuff!!!

                            again, thanks to All for their inputs
