This landmark program engages upper elementary, middle, and high school students in a curriculum designed to foster understanding of American democracy, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
The culminating activity is a simulated congressional hearing in which students testify (while they test their knowledge and confidence) before a panel of volunteer attorneys, educators, and civic leaders. Regional competitions precede the state final, which determines the team that will represent Oregon at the national competition in Washington, D.C.
