School teams research and debate motions on the impact of technology on society, education, the economy and Uganda's digital future. Adjudicators assess the quality of argument, evidence, rebuttal, teamwork and respectful conduct.
Individual students deliver prepared and impromptu speeches on ICT themes. Speakers are judged on content, structure, clarity, confidence, audience engagement and their ability to explain technical ideas to a general audience.
Students work through age-appropriate cybersecurity scenarios covering online safety, password and account security, recognising scams and phishing, data privacy and responsible digital citizenship. All challenges are ethical, supervised and non-intrusive.
