14. What is Hacking Psychology?
The original definition of the term
"hack" is an inelegant but effective
solution to a specific computing
problem.
Hacking Psychology, we meant, as
a way to introduce how psychology
as a science is being applied in
life…in it’s various ways which
could be inelegant but effective
nonetheless

15. What we need

• time —> 7 Dec 2014
• promo support —> lecturers and alumni to
tweet or ‘subtly’ mention Hacking Psychology,
Pecha Kucha in their interaction with the
students

17. How to do Pecha Kucha style
presentation
• Prepare 20 slides, with
mostly visuals…not too
text
• Set the
animation/transition
between slides to
automatically run after
20 seconds
• Practice your story
telling
• It’s not how much, it’s
how compelling your
story is

18. Pecha Kucha presentation tips
Good PechaKucha presentations are the ones that
uncover the unexpected -- unexpected talent, unexpected
ideas. Some PechaKuchas tell great stories about a
project or a trip. Some are incredibly personal, some are
incredibly funny, but all are very different, and they turn
each PechaKucha Night into “a box of chocolates.”

In between Pecha Kucha sessions, we take a
break to stimulate the conversations
