I was in highschool only a few years ago, and have many sibblings attending it right now. If you really want to get the whole highschool interested with whatever you choose to present its going to have a lot of visual aids with it. Get some highschoolers to help make posters to put up around the school for this event your going to have. Technology with video games will get a lot of the male populous to show up. You can appeal to the art and music crowds to showing off some technology they can get their hands on to help improve their music/art. Although I love all the aspects of computer technology I don't believe showing off programming is going to get you a huge crowd. If your trying to appeal to a highschool as a whole your going to need lots of cool visuals and some sort of insentive for showing up. Free food always seems to work well, or a randum pie eating compitition.
