Stevens Institute of Technology is proud to present the first annual Science and Technology Ethics Bowl and Symposium for High School Students on May 28, 2008.
This half-day event, held at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ, introduces participants to careful thinking about ethical issues posed by our modern society. Teams of high school Juniors and Sophomores will compete as they answer questions about ethical issues raised by contemporary science and technology.
Participating schools will receive cases and study questions in advance of the competition. Teams and their coaches are encouraged to spend time reviewing the cases, considering possible questions, positions, supporting arguments, and developing analyses of the cases. Topics may include the following:
- Animal testing
- Bio-medical ethics
- Energy policy
- Cyber-ethics
Participating in the Science and Technology Ethics Bowl helps develop students' intellectual abilities and capacities, deepens their ethical understanding, and reinforces their sense of ethical commitment. Prizes will be awarded to the teams that demonstrate the keenest philosophical acumen.
