Oral Presentations<\/strong> are divided into four disciplinary areas (see below), Physical Sciences & Technology, Natural Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences. The student will have a set time for the oral presentation of a paper, or constructed area of research, along with a PowerPoint presentation. The student is responsible for their own PowerPoint and getting it, and themselves, to their scheduled presentation on time.<\/p>\n

PechaKucha<\/strong> is an exciting new way of presenting academic (or other) information. Competitors will complete on an oral presentation timed to go with a PowerPoint presentation.
