Debate sets you up with various skills. We distill these into what we call the 5 'Cs':
Critical Thinking
Debate teaches students how to think on their feet, effectively deconstructing an argument into its core tenets on the spot. It strengthens kids' research skills and general knowledge.
Civic Awareness
Debate fosters curiosity in students about the American civic system, and helps increase awareness about relevant policy conversations and current events.
Communication
Debate turns students into effective, clear, and fluent communicators, both verbally and in writing. It helps them overcome fears of public speaking and put their point across.
Collaboration
Debate allows students to be surrounded by like-minded peers, forming bonds of mutual respect and friendly competition.
Creativity
Debate forces people to think in new ways, be exposed to new modes of thinking, and encourages students to create innovative arguments.
