>Many of the great thinkers of the past, the so called "Renaissance 
>Men", excelled in both Engineering/Science and 
>Exposition/Rhetoric/Oration. There is no reason why the MIT 
>engineers and scientists of today, the creative men and women who 
>will be the leaders of tomorrow, cannot do so as well. "MIT Can 
>Talk" was organized to promote campus-wide awareness of good oral 
>communication skills. It consists of: (1) a series of independent 
>workshop sessions on public speaking/oral communication, followed by 
>(2) a speaking competition. 
>
>The various workshops address different aspects of speaking and oral 
>communication. They are meant to be practical and hands-on, and are 
>open to all members of the MIT community. 
>
>The speaking competition theme for this year is:  "Proving Them 
>Wrong".   Participants recite four to five minutes worth of material 
>in English that relates to any aspect of this theme.  This material 
>can be original, or it can be an excerpt from a speech, a literary 
>work, a poem, a story, etc. Prizes will be awarded by a panel of 
>judges to those who are best able to deliver their material to a 
>live audience.  The competition is currently open to only MIT 
>undergraduates and MEng students (but that may change).
