**Session Details**

*New Ambassador Overview*  
We'll review spring assignments and responsibilities, and give guidelines and advice on working in the classroom.

*WWT Overview*  
We'll present the main features of WWT that Ambassadors should be aware of when giving demos at schools, community events like star parties, and other public presentations.

*Introductory Tour-Making Tutorial*  
We'll practice tour-making basics, including:

- How to manipulate slides
- How to insert images, text, and shapes
- How to animate images, text, and shapes
- How to include narration and music

*Advanced Tour-Making Techniques*  
We'll go beyond the basics and discuss:

- Things to consider when telling your story
- How to import your own images and use them in Tours
- How to plot your own data points on the sky in 2-D and 3-D using the Layer Manager
- How to link slides to create an interactive path through your Tour
