PechaKucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. PechaKucha is the transliteration of an onomatopoetic Japanese term that means "chit chat." It's pronounced as three syllables: pe-CHALK-cha.

Our first presentations will take this format and are intended to be fun and to help you practice presenting in front of your peers. You will do a PechaKucha on a political issue that you would like to advocate for change. However, for our purposes we will only do a PechaKucha 10x20 (ten images, 20 seconds).

Big Idea? What if one of you decided to put on a PechaKucha as a CAS project?
