PechaKucha Springfield #9

At PechaKucha Springfield #9, nine people will tackle the 20×20 challenge to creatively present topics related directly, culturally, or only remotely related to Climate Change. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for conversation, the 20 x 20 format keeps ideas moving at a rapid pace. Presenters have 20 images and 20 seconds per image, a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds, to tell their story. PechaKucha Night is an event to share ideas and experiences in an open source environment. The idea is to come away from the event with a greater perspective and richer ideas, but most importantly, to enjoy oneself in the process. **Featuring:** Wendy Anderson, Biology professor at Drury University – Censoring CLIMATE needs to CHANGE Rebecca Clarke, The Library – Edgar Allen Poe: Changing the Climate of American Literature Greg Burris, City Manger – Cool Things Happening in the City of Springfield Bob Jones, Psychology professor at Missouri State University – Adapting Ourselves to the World We Have Built Justin Gault, Artist – Quantum Love Manifold Dan Chiles, Rockspan Farm – Building with Light Scott Sauer – Squidfoo Art Gallery and Hacker Space and the Red Bull Challenge Ted Keller – Senior Meteorologist at KOLR Roddy Rogers, City Utilities water treatment and supply manager – Water – a Global View MC – Meganne Rosen O’Neil poster design – Carla Stine This event is volunteer driven, founded by Klein Dytham Architecture, and organized by RuBert Studios and LemonDrop.
