I'd probably lift some images from google images personally...

Greetings,

       I have been given the opportunity to teach the mechanics of the
Internet to a group of 6 - 12'th grade students, and as an engineer and
owner of an ISP I have it in mind to really get into this and show these
kids how, really, all this stuff works and to make it fun and exciting. I
can't take them on a tour of an ATT central office to show off one of my
DSLAMs for example, nor can I really show them what a colocation or IX looks
like since they are too far away to drive. I was hoping any of you would be
kind enough to provide pictures of these types of environments, especially
rack mounted switch/router hardware, fiber optic cabling short and long
haul, international undersea cable anchor points, or anything else that
would make for a good slide presentation in this context. These kids are in
a very rural community where marijuana is the main source of income
(followed by meth), and have little access to adults doing this type of
stuff in the real world. My focus will also include introducing these kids
to the concept of having something better such as a career in information
technology and talking about ways they themselves might get involved and on
track that way, so these photographs would be extremely helpful to light
their young minds and get them thinking about their futures.

Thank you all.

Mike-
