plexiglás y autoestimulación
Explanation:
plexiglás se deja tal cual (lo admite la RAE, y lo define como "resina sintética que tiene el aspecto del vidrio", o "material transparente y flexible de que se hacen telas, tapices, etc."). self-stim, por su parte, es un término relacionado con el autismo y se traduce por "autoestimulación"

En este caso, al funcionar como verbo, self-stim: autoestimular (lógico, ¿no?)

plexiglás - autoestimular


Explanation:
Me parece que el uso de "self-stim" aquí es un poco chistoso: creo que tiene un significado sexual, aunque como el pobre Elias pueda autoestimular con estas materias, solamente se puede imaginar...

garrabatear? pintarrajear?


Explanation:
I think the meaning is to doodle or scribble directly on the presentation materials, thus rendering them unfit for future use, but of course the sexual or even autistic double meaning is there. Come to think of it, in Australia doodle is a slang word for penis.
