Computer Science Professor Chris Starr Presents at Pecha Kucha Charleston

College of Charleston computer science professor Chris Starr was one of the presenters at Pecha Kucha 11. During his presentation he proclaimed San Francisco is soon to be the Charleston of the West.

Pecha Kucha, Japanese for the sound of conversation, is a mix of show-and-tell, open-mike night and happy hour that has become a forum for ideas on design, architecture and other forms of creativity. Devised in 2003 in Tokyo, Pecha Kucha Night has spread virally to over 135 cities around the world as an informal forum for creative people to meet, network and show their work in public. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for just 20 seconds, giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
