Practice your voice in a safe space

Women in MIDS Coffee Meetup this week is bringing back a popular event from last semester — PowerPoint Karaoke. It will be an interactive session for all of us to get a chance to hone our public speaking skills. PowerPoint Karaoke is an improvisational activity in which a participant must deliver a presentation based on a set of slides that they have never seen before.

  • Every round, 1–5 people will volunteer to speak with a deck that anyone can bring and put up for the volunteers; maximum speaking length is 5 minutes.
  • We will have 3–4 presentations.
  • The speakers can choose to receive feedback or not.
  • After the talk and feedback, we will move to the next presentation presented by another round of volunteer(s).

 

Women in MIDS hosts a bi-weekly Coffee Meetup Series. Typically meetups have 30 minutes dedicated to speakers, industry-relevant videos, and other activities to empower Women in Data Science, with the remaining 30 minutes open for discussions.
