WAC - Challenge Day
The Four Events
1. The Formal Presentation
Each team is given 15 minutes to make a presentation on their chosen aspect of the annual topic. This presentation may be in the form of a role-play, a mock trial, a TV newscast, a video presentation, or any other creative means to communicate a thorough understanding of the complexities of the topic and a proposal for a reasonable solution.
After the presentation, judges may ask questions of the team on issues related to the presentation (e.g. How did various members participate? How were disagreements resolved? Describe the team's decision-making process, etc.).

2. The Collaborative Question
For this event, participants are assigned to new teams, and will not work with their teammates. Teams are given a “real world” question, simulation, or problem related to the annual topic. After the participants discuss the issue and agree on a proposed solution, judges will ask them about their solution and their decision-making process as a group.

3. The Discovery Poster
The Discovery Poster is another way for teams to share their months of hard work with their peers and expand all participants’ knowledge about the annual topic. The purpose of the poster is to clearly and concisely present an individual team’s topic, or one aspect or their project, to their peers and the judges.
