About

Whether you're a novice or pro at the art of debate, this club is for anyone who is interested in participating in mini, low-stakes debate competitions. You'll be randomly placed into teams and given a side to "fight" for or against. Then, you'll be put in a breakout room to discuss with your teammates and research the given topic for 5 minutes before presenting your "argument" to the opposing team.
You'll learn the basics of debate in this series in case you're a beginner; however, we will mostly be doing competitions.
This is not a club to force your views on people or argue with them. This club is for fun only and if you do anything that makes it not fun for someone else you will be withdrawn.

NOTE: I'm looking for judges!! (AKA co-hosts). DM me if interested. Basic knowledge or experience of/in debate is required, you don't need anything crazy though.

(!!) semi-hiatus Hello! 👋 I'm Olivia, but you can call me Liv. I am a South Korean teen who is currently attending high school in Ontario, Canada. Currently, I am on Schoolhouse to talk about real-world issues with peers through the Dialogues program, prep for my first SAT, and receive help for some school subjects I'm struggling with. I also tutor in English, pre-algebra, and various topics in Enrichment, but usually only during extended academic breaks (like in the summer!) Here is some uninteresting info about me: ✏️📚 I like reading and writing (both hobby-wise and academically). In 2025, I read over 100 novels and 300 manga/graphic novels. I've won local and school-affiliated awards for academic excellence in writing. I'm also a mod for a book-related subreddit with over 1.3 million members and make book content on social media, where I have gained a total following of nearly 10k across my platforms over the span of 6 years. Furthermore, I am the founder and president of my school's book club with nearly 30 members, where we host book-related events like book fairs, talk about books, and bring in published authors to interview. I do some volunteering at my local libraries as well. 🧠 I'm really interested in neuroscience and psychology. I have an accredited certificate for my local university's college-level introductory course in neurology and am a graduate of the Women's Alliance in STEM and Humanities (WASH SRI)'s 2025 summer program for computational neuroscience. Currently, I am self-studying for AP Psychology as well as prepping for the 2026 International Psychology Olympiad. Additionally, I am a member of my school board's mental health council and my school's Neuroscience club. 🏫 At school, my GPA is around 3.8 (self-calculated & unweighted), and I'm a member of the student council as head of digital media and publicity team co-lead. 🤩 Besides reading and writing, some of my hobbies include art (both digital & trad) and watching anime (I'm obsessed with a new character every week... you can usually tell who by my profile picture hehe).

Solving problems and helping others understand difficult concepts is something I truly enjoy.🎓 Outside academics, I like playing tennis and chess, and exploring new interests.
