A brilliant idea is only as powerful as how well we communicate it. Let's make our voice count.

Challenges are inevitable, but the good news? You can master the art of communication. 👏 #TechLife #RelatableTech #Innovation

Tech Duels was proud to partner with the Virginia Military Institute and Commonwealth Cyber Initiative to organize 3 debates with 8, 4 year colleges and 4, 2 year colleges.
