KidsVention & Student Mock Election
The Voices in Voting KidsVention is a mini-political convention (nonpartisan) and features four debates of interest to students. Four Nevada elected officials are invited to debate against four high school debate students on topics of interest to students. KidsVention also highlights patriotic music performed by middle and high school choirs.
The Student Mock Election is a collaboration between the NV Secretary of State’s Office and our organization to offer lessons, resources, and the voting experience for K-12 students.
KidsVention & the Student Mock Election is offered to students across the state of Nevada.
Student Bootcamp
Work with We the People judges, coaches, and teachers to prepare for the Nevada District Invitational. Students will have opportunities to engage with a We the People Judges panel and learn more about presentation skills and how to break down the hearing questions. Students will also be invited to work with We the People Coaches in their own unit.
