CASE Debates
What is CASE Debates?
Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) and Center for Afterschool, Summer and Enrichment (CASE) for Kids launched the CASE Debates project in 2017, to provide at-risk high school students across Harris County an opportunity to participate in debate activities that they would not otherwise be able to access. CASE Debates strives to equip participating youth with the four C’s of 21st-century skills: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
For students who come from underprivileged backgrounds, CASE Debates is an extremely fun and important thing for us to come to every year.CASE Debates Student
