Anything your child could choose to do in life would be enhanced by acquiring the vital life skill of public speaking. From elementary to middle school students, whether they answer a teacher in class, present a report, correspond to Judge interview questions with poise and confidence – everyone is more successful with strong presentation skills. This course guides students comfortably through 20 different public speaking skills, through exercises, practice and speech games within a supportive and fun environment. As a special opportunity, this course offers an additional focus on competition team interview skills, and more - the chance to hone their speech skills at Massachusetts Middle School Speech League tournaments, as part of the Robotfun Academy Speech Team!
