"If you can't communicate and talk to other people and get across your ideas, you're giving up your potential." - Warren Buffett
Every child has ideas worth sharing. Unicus Gloabal Xtempore Olympiad gives students the opportunity to express their thoughts and build an ability to think and speak on the spot.
