Biggest success I have in a situation like that is to do a series of visual illusions and explain the mechanisms under them as you go. They really enjoy the illusions, and tend to stay really engaged.

If you have any suggestion on how to engage a large class who do not know you, and will not see you again, please share, and I will pass them on. Most of my ideas take time to work through with a class, and would be hard to accomplish in just one meeting. Many thanks in advance.
