I have found one product already out there that does what I am looking for. There is also wduraes that has instructions for a Toastmasters timer on Instructables. For example, see the videos by OrlandoClub28, UNHCoffee, and Stan Ng . There are various videos on YouTube, that demonstrate hobbyists creating their own Toastmasters timer. Doing a Google search for “Toastmasters Timer” or “Toastmasters Automatic Timing Light” brings multiple results. Well, it turns out that I am not the only person to have thought of this. Why couldn’t someone create a Timing Light that has the clock built-in? Set the time, hit the “Start” button, and the light will change automatically at the appropriate time. Does this sound familiar?īeing an an engineer, I always thought that there needs to be a better way. Eyes on the stopwatch or eyes on the speaker … but not both. Typically, the timer need to keep their eyes on a stop watch so they can change the light at the right time. In a 5-7 minute speech, the Green light is turned on at 5 minutes, the Yellow light at 6 minutes, and the Red light at 7 minutes.
The Timer needs to operate a light to indicate to the speaker how they are doing on their time. A Speaker has a prepared speech, that he/she needs to deliver within an allotted amount of time. If you have been to a Toastmasters meeting, you are familiar with the routine.
