Take part in a series of 5 independent IAP workshop sessions on public speaking during the last week of IAP. The sessions are meant to be practical and interactive, and are open to all members of the MIT community. Each session is limited to 30 participants. Pre-registration is encouraged but drop-ins are welcome if space is available.

You’re prepared, you know what you want to say and you even practiced. But when it comes time to perform, you'll want to be engaging and not sound like you are reciting a memorized script. As an audience member, I want you to connect with me! Come to this session to learn some ideas for how to do that. Tony Eng, creator of the MIT Can Talk competition and EECS Senior Lecturer will lead this session.

* Participants of this session are encouraged to take part in the “MIT Can Talk” oratory competition on Friday, February 3 and Saturday, February 4 at the MIT Museum (see IAP listing for more details).
