“Children are not getting the cognitive and social stimulation that they would normally get outside their home” ~ Dr. Michelle Aguilar
There exists a dilemna where in the lives of both children and parents become increasingly unpredictable and hectic. With busy schedules and the stressful demands of school, kids are finding less and less time to socialize, play, and learn.
Driving kids to and from their various activities is no small task, and with breakouts of pandemics coming and going, the lives and schedules of both parents and their kids become unstable and hard to manage.
Telegraph Speech and Debate seeks to provide students the opportunity to learn and socialize in a way that is fun, engaging, and consistent. With free online tournaments, coupled with trophies and monetary prizes, we give kids a fun, light way to enrich their lives outside of school.
