Details

This is an intense five-week program for the top rising sophomores across the country.  While other workshops focus on juniors or seniors, we provide a unique opportunity for sophomores.  Students will use a high-quality starting evidence set designed to facilitate advanced speeches and debates on a near-daily basis, interspersed with lab instruction and exposure to guest experts from D.C.’s unbeatable field of public policy professionals.  Students will also research and develop their own arguments.  Each lab will produce a distinct evidence set, and progressively strategize and innovate against the other labs’ arguments, culminating in a full-length tournament at the end of the program.
