How we Incubate Debate
Tournaments

Toolkit
Incubate recognizes that in order to bring open debate to the most students we have to meet them where they are: the classroom.
Campuses
If there’s any one location where open debate is lacking it’s on America’s college campuses.
There is no substitute for the rigorous competition of opposing viewpoints. Incubate Debate brings this to students wherever they are—at our tournaments, in the classroom, and on their campuses.
Join us and help to bring open debate opportunities to young people in your community.
We want young men and women of all backgrounds, viewpoints, and walks of life to engage in the power open debate.
Every good idea, stage of progress, invention or innovation has been subject to rigorous open debate. By open, we mean debates that are open to a wide viewpoints and voices, debates where students are open to learning and open to disagreement.
Incubate Debate’s mission to bring the power of open debate to young Americans wherever they are—in the classroom, on campus, and at our no-cost, in-person tournaments. Join us as we ‘make debate great again.’
