2014 National Kids Philosophy Slam

Justina Wojahn from SAGE Academy came in 2nd place for the Most Philosophical 5th Grader in America and Sophia Nimsger from Twin Oaks came in 3rd place for the Most Philosophical 6th Grader in America.
The 2014 National Kids Philosophy Slam challenged students from around the country to answer the question: "Truth or Beauty: Which has a greater impact on society?” More than 4,000 entries were submitted from students across the nation.
The Mission of the National Kids Philosophy Slam is to give kids a voice and to inspire kids to think by unlocking their intellectual and creative potential through a unique and powerful philosophical forum. This unique program allows kids to grapple with life's big issues in an accessible format, as younger students answer philosophical questions through artwork, poetry and music. The Kids Philosphy Slam is sponsored in part by the Lanesboro Arts Center in Lanesboro, MN.
