Grade-batched
Six modules and a competition.
The same modules we run on IIT and university campuses. A bootcamp runs all seven; a workshop picks the ones that matter for you.
- Public SpeakingThe three ingredients of a speech and the 4 Ps of delivery: pace, pitch, power, pause. Speaking from the belly, not the throat. Every student speaks in the first hour.A first speech, on film.
- CharacterisationWho is this debate actually about? Primary and secondary stakeholders, agency, and the Zoom In rule: one specific person, never a crowd.A stakeholder the judge can picture.
- ArgumentationThe table analogy: the motion is the top, arguments are the legs. A.R.E., assertion, reasoning, evidence, and the Why Chain that turns a claim into an impact.One argument that stands up.
- Solo Showcase: The DeclamationToday is your stage. Every student delivers a prepared declamation in front of their batch, with direct one-on-one feedback from the trainers.A speech carried alone.
- RebuttalsListening for the weak link and answering it on your feet. The 4-step formula: they said, but we disagree, because, so.A rebuttal delivered in the moment.
- Motion PrepReading a motion, taking a side, and building a case against the clock, matter, manner, method. Sunday's motions are released so everyone prepares overnight.A case ready for Sunday.
Debate Competition
The intra-bootcamp competition: one-versus-one conventional debate with cross-questioning, three rounds adjudicated on merit, then the finals in the auditorium with parents seated, awards and the closing ceremony.
A certificate, and the before-and-after.
What every student receives.
- Small batches of 25 with a dedicated coach
- A fixed schedule shared with the school and parents up front
- Activity-driven sessions: no slides, no monologues
- Real-time feedback after every round
- A final showcase in front of peers, trainers and parents
- A certificate of participation; merit awards for Best Speaker, Best Adjudicator and Most Improved
