Partner Request?
*
During the institute, students will often pair up for activities and debates with a partner. At the end of the institute, students will put what they've learned into practice in a scrimmage, and debate with their partner. We will do our best to honor all mutual partner requests of comparable experience
Would your student prefer to debate from digital files (I have access to a functional laptop over the summer) or from printed materials (provided by the institute if requested here)
