They should be looking for role models to talk to classes - how your career developed with any issue you agree with the lead teacher. Start with a teacher you know to find out how best to get in - who to start talking to to get your foot in the door. A GL laptop would not go amiss to show projected images - some of your history and work, demonstrate some skills you have, do a bit of programming, show some GL screens and programmes in action. Who knows - you might get a reputation! You may be asked to repeat your talk to all classes in one year - like up to 8 times! Or it could be an assembly - though that might be a very short talk, but might whet their appetite for more. Good luck.
