I threw a PowerPoint party…it was hilarious

whats a powerpoint party?

  • didn’t want a bday present but memories
  • wanted something more intentional than drinks or dinner
  • saw the idea on tiktok and thought it was hilarious
  • everyone prepares a short presentation on whatever they want. hobby, interest etc

why did i have so much fun?

  • i loved seeing my friends talk about their interests and passions
  • everyone was 100% engaged.
    • more to discover here.
  • it really brought out everyones’ personalities in such a positive and supportive light

what surprised me?

  • the range of presentations given was really broad. in topics and in style.
  • there were quizzes, informative presentatoins, interactive style, niche interests, storyline
  • the amount of effort people put into their presentaitons

what did i make?

  • script and slides on medieval life trajectories of my friends
  • made many intertwining stories of my friends as medieval archetypes and linked them to real historical events.

how was the process?

  • 80-20 lol. 80% script and stories, 20% presentations.
  • the majority of the work is always behind the curtain if you want something to be good! -made medieval archetypes and linked them to my friends. then made the stories accordingly. beats first, then fleshed out. linked to real historical events
  • enjoyed writing and drawing strings between interests and knowledge.
  • trying to think of punchlines and what people will find funny
  • low-fidelity slides made making it very low-pressure and satisfying
  • it felt really good to make something with my knowledge of history.
