About

📣 The Global Speak-Up Challenge: 1-on-1 Edition 🎤
A fast, fun, and thought-provoking debate experience — now even simpler!

Join learners from around the world for quick 1-on-1 debates using a simplified format. After a brief introduction, you’ll be placed in breakout rooms with just one opponent — one speaks for the topic, the other against.

🗣️ Debate Format :
1️⃣ Speaker A – Presents their argument
2️⃣ Speaker B – Presents the counter-argument
3️⃣ Both reflect or respond briefly if time allows. This can be in the form of rebuttals, or something else.

You’ll get a prompt, be assigned a side (Proposition or Opposition) with your team. You will get some time to prepare
✅Receive feedback from peers about your weaknesses and strengths
✅ Moderator will give verbal feedback
✅ Great for building confidence, quick thinking & communication skills

🌍 Speak up. Think smart. Connect globally. It’s a chance to sharpen your speaking skills, meet new people, and get recognized for your growth. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, every session is a step forward.

Top speakers may be recognized, and frequent participants can earn digital certificates highlighting their communication and leadership skills.

🌀 This is a never-ending series, with fresh topics and new sessions added regularly. Come back anytime!

Hey there! Glad you stopped by my profile. I’m extremely passionate about learning new things and enjoy collaborating with classmates and teachers. When I’m not hitting the books, you’ll find me reading non-fiction—it's a great way to boost my thinking skills! I also enjoy drawing and painting, which helps me get creative and pay attention to the little details. I’m pretty good at pre-calculus and algebra, and I’m always happy to help others with these subjects. Let’s learn and grow together—feel free to reach out!

Hi there! You’ve reached the profile of a slightly insane person. If you’d like to stay unchanged, please leave. If you’d like to be pulled into a never-ending cycle of being very mildly maniacal, please continue. I’m Vismai, a middle schooler from Arizona. I'm happy to help and ask for help. I'm a Senior Tutor in R&W, and also tutor Computer Science, Statistics, Biology, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra 1. I'm also an intermediate peer reviewer. By the way, my name is pronounced "is my" with a "v" at the start - not that it's hard. I asked for some ideas on what to write, and one question was "What do you do in your free time?" Um, what's free time again? Just kidding (kind of). Jokes aside, I like: - linguistics - coding in Golang, Dart, TypeScript, and Python - debate and MUN - swimming - singing & the performing arts On weekends, you can usually find me buried in some weird sci-fi book.
