Teams of two debate a current technology-related issue, preparing arguments both for and against a given topic. The event includes opening arguments, cross-examination, and rebuttals in a timed format. Judges evaluate logic, evidence, rebuttal skills, and team participation. Preparation time is limited, so quick thinking is key. If you enjoy arguing your point, researching tech issues, or public speaking, this event is a great fit. It’s perfect for persuasive students who enjoy lively discussion.
