Betcha Couldn't? Pecha Kucha?

Pecha Kucha? What is it? Well, it's the Japanese word for "chit chat". Here's a great way to receive information in a unique and possibly fun way; depending on the presenter. Pecha Kucha is a Power Point presentation style that allows the presenter only forty seconds to get their idea across. A night is designated for these presentations called Pecha Kucha Night. Anyone who thinks they have an idea to express can present that night. These "Pecah Kucha" nights are now being held in 151 locations. The format is to present your idea in forty seconds using twenty images that will each be only allowed twenty seconds to be shown.

The idea is somewhat analogous to a commercial. This means your challenge is to put careful thought into what you want to present and then present it well. This new wave of presenting is becoming a festival in itself, giving people a chance to get their idea out to a number of people without having to acquire the usual necessary facilities.
