Description
Virtual Camp Congress for Girls is a live interactive online class that introduces girls to politics. Virtual Camp Congress for Girls begins with a lesson on the structure of the United States political system. Each student will choose to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or for the presidency. She will create her own campaign with a platform, campaign finance donor list and a campaign poster. All campers will register to vote and then cast a virtual ballot in for our virtual President and Vice President. Our virtual Congress will be sworn-in as will the President and Vice President. The newly installed members of Congress will learn how to introduce a draft a bill, debate the merits of the bill, collaborate with the Executive branch and finally vote on the proposed bill. Class will culminate with a virtual signing of the bill by our Ms. President.
