Approximately 150 Middle School Students came together for two days to debate the merit of the resolutions they had researched and developed since November. 26 Nations attended the event and met in Council Sessions on Day 1 to debate in small groups. Each council heard 5 or 6 resolutions. Then on Day 2 the top 8 scoring nations went on to present in front of the General Assembly. The sessions are led by Steamboat Springs High School student Ambassadors.
