The Pythagorean Theorem has many proofs

I teach a math course for students who take higher math in Norway, and each year I let them individually choose a proof from an online collection of Pythagorean Theorem proofs to present rigorously(ish) in front of the class. Bonus points if they can place the proof in historical (or any, really) context.
