How dodoes one Introduceintroduce characteristic classes

Question is simple, How do youdoes one introduce, or How arehow were you introduced to characteristic classes.?

You can assume that the student is comfortable with principal bundles and connections on principal bundles.

I am not asking for references for characteristic classes, I have references but I am not able to really understand them.

What I am requesting is your way of introducing characteristic classes.
