STC Meeting, Tuesday, March 17, 2009: Pecha Kucha

Pecha who-cha?? Pecha kucha is an exciting new presentation format that allows each speaker 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds. It’s a great way for a number of presenters to share information about a current project, technique, dilemma, or idea, and to stimulate lively informal discussion.
