Outcomes from this working group can be viewed in RESEARCH.

I am one of the founders and captains of the team, working to divide case work and make sure that people get the research assigned to them completed. The Northeastern team also works to develop strong relationships with other schools in the area, creating the strongest ideas we can.

Big Questions is a high school NSDA debate centered around asking and answering big philosophical questions. In my senior year, the question was on mathematical ontology and epistemology.

I talked to multiple professors, read 3 books on the subject, and gained lots of experience in the field of mathematical philosophy. After competing against 10,000 students, I earned a spot in the top 10 BQ debaters in the nation.
