If you want to become an excting presenter visit a science centre in a town near you and do two things:
1) check out the exhibits and
2) watch any live shows.
I have learned so many wonderful tricks at Science World in Vancouver, British Columbia. The presenters of these shows have to find a way to take complex ideas and boil them down to something the average member of the public can understand. You will be surprised at the connections you will be able to make between what you see and key learning points you want to make in your own presentations.
It is important to come outside of our own worlds to seek inspiration in new places. So, if you haven't visited a Science Centre in a while, call them up, ask when the shows are and head on down with your notepad. The presenters are usually happy to talk for a few minutes afterwards while they are cleaning up.
How do I know all this? I did hundreds of shows on the public stage at the Science Centre over ten years. It was fun, educational, inspiring and a great learning experience.
