I gave a presentation today on Introduction to Maple Syrup at my local college.  It was scheduled for two hours (9-11am) and it went a few minutes long.  Too bad for the students but it checked the box for this BB :)

I took the pictures so the 9 students in the photos are the ones I'm counting towards the BB.

In the "after" group photo, the 9th person is wearing dark blue and is just visible behind the lady with the black scarf in the center of the photo

I taught another 2 hour class today!  Fourteen people actually paid money to come listen to me talk about an Introduction to Permaculture.  It was very cool and they seemed to like it.

In this Badge Bit, you will give a two hour presentation and hold the attention of at least 6 people for the full 2 hours

I taught a workshop and on the first night, I presented on rocket heaters. There were more than 9 people but people were coming in and out of the hay bale classroom. I made the best out of my daughter's limited photo skills, so hopefully I can get credit for 9 people in attendance. I tried to not make taking photos noticeable or weird and that came at a cost. The presentation was about 2.5hrs long but the photos and time captured go from 5:49 to ~8:02

Minimum Requirements:
 - give a 2 hour presentation
 - the subject of the presentation has to be related to permaculture or homesteading
 - hold the attention of the students for the full 2 hours
 - 6 students = 1 point, 1/2 point for every additional student, maximum of 5 points

Hello Jeremy, I'd like to confirm that this was awarded 2.5 points for 9 people in attendance. Thanks!
 
I do some of my very best work in water. Like this tiny ad:
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
