Welcome to the study space! We'll use the Pomodoro timer to help you focus on finishing whatever you need to do. If you have any questions about topics we are certified in, please ask us during the session! More sessions will be scheduled over time to avoid unforeseen schedule conflicts. By the way, this is a continuation of the previous series, [https://schoolhouse.world/series/22685](https://schoolhouse.world/series/22685), [https://schoolhouse.world/series/30892](https://schoolhouse.world/series/30892), and [https://schoolhouse.world/series/30816](https://schoolhouse.world/series/30816/).

Welcome to [Dialogues](https://schoolhouse.world/dialogues)! In this session, we will be discussing Death Penalty and using this [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dqN8EtX1JSHd4phiPEyAuaAubrbbLllNAUmMPZWXous/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.lncugkbvgia1](https://schoolhouse.world/redirect?code=66Ri4DuWmhAudRvcqNo0W) Here’s some helpful information to help you prepare for your session: 📌 Session introduction: At the start of the session, the event host will provide some introductory remarks about how the session will work and tips for discussion. 🧩 Discussion partner matching: All participants will be matched with a conversation partner to discuss with. If there are uneven numbers, you may have two conversation partners. 🤝 Breakout discussions: After the session introduction, everyone will switch to their breakout discussion. Your discussion will be unmoderated, so you can start when your partner arrives in the new Zoom link. 🗺️ Discussion Guide: You will have a topic-specific discussion guide for the session to help guide conversation. ⏰ Session length: The breakout discussions are scheduled for 45 minutes but you can discuss as long as you want! ✅ Stay on topic: Please make sure to stay on topic. If you and your partner run out of things to discuss, it’s okay to end the discussion early. You will not be returning to the main group when your conversation is over. 🤔 Make the discussion your own: You probably won’t have time to answer all the guide questions so pick and choose! Feel free to also bring in your own questions and ideas outside of the guide. 📝 Survey: A mandatory survey will appear at the end of your session to fill out. This must be filled out for you to get credit for the session in your Dialogues portfolio. 🤸‍♂️ Have fun: There is no preparation needed for this event. These conversations are meant to be casual, in addition to being meaningful. We hope you enjoy it!

Schoolhouse Mock Science Olympiad Tournament Are you ready to challenge your knowledge of science and show your problem-solving abilities? Participate in the Schoolhouse Science Olympiad Mock Tournament, a STEM Community Tournament hosted right here at Schoolhouse! This high-energy competition features two distinct divisions, Division B (Middle School) and Division C (High School). It is designed to challenge your expertise across a wide field of Sciences, including Physics, Astronomy, Biology, and Chemistry. Whether you are a seasoned competitor in SciOly already, or a newcomer looking to compete and potentially start a Science Olympiad at your own school, this is your opportunity to collaborate and excel. Currently, our prizes are Certificates of Achievement, the chance to add onto your college transcript with high-ranking results. We invite all Schoolhouse members to form teams or go solo if your confident and join us for this landmark event. Why? To sharpen your scientific skills, work together with a team, and support the growth of the #academic-competitions Subworld Initiative! Good luck to all teams! This event is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Science Olympiad, Inc This community event was brought to you by SSCI, Schoolhouse Science Competitions Initiative. Tournament Specifications & Event List For this session, we will focus exclusively on Notes and Knowledge-based Study Events. Participants will be evaluated on a Honor Code of not cheating.
