Dabate

Debate is not just an academic pursuit – it’s used every day in real life and in school! So, how can you argue without becoming argumentative? With so many important issues facing students these days, learning how to advocate for your own position is becoming a vital academic and life skill! In Ustar’s Debate 101 Exploration Camp, students can learn how to express an opinion or take a stance on an issue that is important to them while elevating their public speaking skills by practicing debating skills and making claims based on logical reasoning in a fun, yet challenging atmosphere of teamwork and friendship. Students will participate in custom-designed training debates employing the fundamentals of constructing arguments and defending positions in competitive debate formats including Spontaneous Debates (SPAR), Public Forum Debate, and in real-world classroom and social discussions.
