PechaKucha is a Japanese word meaning chit-chat. It is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total).

The format, which keeps presentations concise and fast-paced, powers multiple-speaker events.

Your Pechakucha must be done only with 20 slides, and each slide must be 20 seconds (no more and no less than 20 seconds). You must keep to this format exclusively, different number of slides/time or use of text/bulletpoints will result in failed presentation.
This presentation is the equivalent of approximately 850 words.
