My first "programmed" project ...in PowerPoint!

I created a PowerPoint presentation in our IT class. This was no ordinary PowerPoint, however. The main slide was an illustrated image of a group of Chinese gold prospectors circa the Australian gold rush. Over the image, smaller copies of each individual were overlaid perfectly on the original image, as to blend in perfectly. Each individual image was then given a "link to" another slide, which contained a profile page with their individual photo, name and summary of their fortunes on the gold field. This meant that clicking anywhere (on what looked like a single image) would magically take you to the related slide based on who you clicked on. Without knowing it at the time, I had essentially created a "little-internet" within PowerPoint. I had done something they didn't even think was possible which was creative and fun. Everyone was amazed.
