Pauch was diagnosed with multiple tumors on his liver and given only a few months to live. His lecture was titled "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" and was a great success. He begins by telling his listeners what some of his childhood dreams were, suh as a Disne World Imagineer, Captain Kirk, and even playing sports. The amazing thing is that even though these dreams sound a little outrageous, he did accomplish them (somewhat). He was an Imagineer, and he got to meet the real Captain Kirk from Star Trek.
He gave his students some pretty out there assignments. In one assignment he gave his students a project to create their own virtual gaming world. Though he set a due date, he allowed the students to continue to work on the projects through the end of the semester. On the day of the presentations, his classroom was packed with people whom he did not even recognize. The project was a great success and was a wonderful opportunity for the students to showcase their brilliance and work together.
