Berkeley class simulates Congress with high schoolers
Steven Teel at Berkeley High runs a model Congress where 17 year old students play senators and representatives. They write bills and navigate committees, learning the complexities of lawmaking while embodying figures like Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd. The project changes views about politics and parties as students gain insight into governance.
