The AND Gate Project: Speech and Debate combines STEM and speech and debate. We aim to host online speech and debate tournaments for middle and high school students with topic areas in science and technology. Competitive debate and scientific research are two of the most popular academic high school extracurricular activities around the nation. Yet, rarely do young students have the opportunity to combine communication with science, while intensively analyzing the crucial topics in science and technology from a philosophical or policy-making lens. We offer events such as extemporaneous speaking, extemporaneous debate, and prepared prompt speaking. This enables students to research and discuss numerous STEM+X topics while gaining competition experience, feedback from experienced judges, and a community of fellow public speakers passionate about STEM.
