Abstract
Individuals are asked to make high‐impact decisions that become the world we live in, informing the treatment of addiction, gun violence, bioethics laws, and global climate change. Decisions of this magnitude should be made with evidence from primary source research. Yet few methods effectively teach this skill to high school students. Here we describe a highly coordinated system of 7 teams of students that train others with little scientific training or presentation skill to present research topics that are relevant and controversial. These presenters have little to no scientific or presentation training. The teams are capable of training one presenter a week over the course of a year. The system is self‐propagating and can be maintained with minimal faculty involvement. Our data indicate that a single faculty member can engage a team of 12 that in turn engages a student body of 30–70 students weekly.
