Need things to keep you busy over the summer? Try debate!

Last summer, I did a virtual camp for debate. There, I learned about how to argue a point persuasively, played improvisational games, and even competed in a debate tournament. I had so much fun with two of my close friends as we reasearched fun topics and dissected the parts of a debate. These skills have made me feel much more comfortable with speaking in public. I think debate is a skill that everyone can benefit from. It can really help people learn how to be more persuasive and explain their ideas. See if you can do a debate camp this summer, or just research how to debate and practice it yourself.
