What visual aid should I use for my informative speech?

I have to give a speech for my college math course on a famous mathematician named Leonhard Euler. Here is a little about him: Euler was partially blind in his 20s and become completely blind later on in his life. He was from Switzerland and some say he was the inspiration for the popular sudoku puzzles today (although a Japanese man named them "sudoku"). I cannot think of a good visual aid for my speech. I want something creative and different, but nothing cheesy or stupid. I was thinking of handing everyone in class a sudoku puzzle to solve at the end of my speech, but this is kind of dumb because there are sudoku puzzles right in our math books. Help!? Thanks so much!

P.S. I put this in this section because I figured a lot of creative ppl hang out here!

    I think it's a great idea to hand out a puzzle to everyone. No one does the puzzles in their book. Also on the back you could have a little blurb about Euler. THis will make it different and interesting.

    pass out the numbers 1-9 to most of the class...make boxes on the floor with tape...the rest of the class can play human suduko...have them solve the puzzle by placing certain people in certain boxes...it will get people up and encourage teamwork

    Animated PowerPoint presentations with some humorous transitions work swell.
