- Ethics Bowl — New this year!
Try Ethics Bowl!
We’re excited to add Ethics Bowl to the tournament this year. Teams may include 1–5 people, so grab your spouse, parents, kids, or friends and put together a team. It’s a fun opportunity to try something new!
What is Ethics Bowl?In Ethics Bowl, teams discuss real-world ethical dilemmas, explore different perspectives, and defend their conclusions using ethical reasoning. Teams present their analysis, answer questions, and engage in thoughtful discussion with other teams.
It’s less about finding the “right” answer and more about learning to think carefully, listen well, and explain why you believe what you do.
