The goal is to provide opportunities for students to compete and socialize while positively influencing the quality of life and enhancing intellectual capacity for the students. Students learn to compete in front of hundreds of people at a national level, build camaraderie between other schools, and learn the key lessons of winning and losing.<\/p>\n
