In this engaging and interactive summer camp, campers will step into the role of lawmakers as they propose, debate, and vote on legislation—just like members of Congress! They will also learn to use AI responsibly to enhance their research skills, evaluate credible sources, and organize arguments effectively.

How it Applies to the Real World: This will develop campers' leadership, communication, and critical thinking skills.

Deliverable: At the end of the camp, students will participate in a in class showcase where they will receive feedback and a certificate of completion to illustrate their learning.

Prerequisite: None

Recommended Next Steps: Additional Rising Debater camps, Art of Public Speaking class, or Introductory Debate class.
