Participation in speech and debate provides students real cognitive and behavioral benefits, such as improved reading, communication and critical thinking skills. Student debaters learn to function on a team and with fellow debate students in a competitive environment, attending multiple competitions throughout the year. Debate participation fosters intellectual curiosity and increases motivation, transforming students into more engaged and responsible young adults with a stronger work ethic. R O B O T I C S P R O G R A M Led by professional engineers, the Robotics Program explores the continuous progression of technology. Students blend creativity with physics, computer programming, science, engineering and other academic principles in order to solve daunting technical challenges. They become immersed in examining the problem, designing and building the technical solution along with conducting tests to ensure working ability.. They learn and use sophisticated software and hardware to build a robot of their design. Students experiment and manipulate technology together as a team. This high level of collaboration drives the passion behind the "Huskyteers," Fairmont Prep's Robotics Team. The team participates in an internationally renowned competition hosted by FIRST(For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). The accomplishments resulting from this program build confidence and provide a catalyst to countless academic and career possibilities. It also provides opportunities to receive college scholarships. fairmontschools.com/ifc 23
