Youth Debate Bowl 2025-2026

Hello all,

Gallaudet University is once again hosting its annual Youth Debate Bowl for this year, and I’m excited to share that I’ll be continuing as a debate bowl coach for the fifth consecutive year.

Student, if you’re interested in joining this year’s competition, I strongly encourage you to reach out to me for more details or stop by my classroom in #210. The deadline to apply is October 31st, and submissions are being accepted until then.

This year’s high school debate topic is:
“In the United States, the benefits of using artificial intelligence in K–12 education outweigh the harms.”

To learn more about the competition, please watch: Youth Debate Bowl Orientation

Looking forward to seeing some of you take part!

All the best,
