Debating Technological Issues

Overview

Description: Participants research the annual topic and subtopics and prepare for a debate against a team from another chapter. Teams are instructed to take either the pro or con side of a selected subtopic, submit a summary of references, and use their research to support their assigned position. The quality of a team's debate determines semifinalists and finalists.

Important: Ask your chapter advisor for this event's guidelines and rubric.
