Thiago plugged his laptop into the projector. The audience waited in silence for his slides to appear.
Instead of slides, neon code and pixel dragons flashed across the screen. Thiago froze, gripping the cold desk edge while murmurs rippled through the crowd.
He tapped keys frantically, but the dragons grew larger, dodging his cursor with playful giggles that echoed loudly.
Thiago took a deep breath and stopped fighting the glitch. He typed new commands, inviting the dragons onto the stage for an interactive show.
The projected dragons danced around him as he explained his project, their glowing wings casting colorful patterns on the floor.
His friends clapped along to the beat of the digital music, their faces lit up by the shifting colors.
Thiago smiled as the final slide appeared. He was no longer just a boy presenting work, but a creator who turned a mistake into magic.
The auditorium erupted in applause. Thiago bowed, knowing he had created something truly special for everyone watching.
