HOW IT WORKS
Instead of organizing by event, Zebrapad is built around skills — because skills are what win rounds, transfer across events, and build confident communicators.
Students have 24/7 independent access to a self-service platform of tools and resources designed to show the how and why of speech and help teams plan, practice, and improve between coaching sessions.
Our collection of independent, interactive, on-demand materials are categorized within three areas of development -- Build, Perform, and Coach -- and have two levels of access.
RESOURCES
Accessible to everyone!
These are informational videos and articles crafted to provide insights into various skills -- offering up practical strategies, tutorials, and tips & tricks to up your game!
TOOLS
Accessible to teams with a paid Subscription.
These are interactive tools using games, examples, exercises and most importantly questions to help you design and develop your speech by organizing and improving your thinking, choices, message and next steps.
Here's how it works:
-
Choose a tool based on the skill you want to work on.
-
You will be prompted for your team's passcode.
-
The tool will guide you through short, structured questions and activities.
-
When you finish and submit, the tool sends you a personal report that captures:
-
key learnings and theory
-
your thoughts and ideas
-
key decisions and intended outcomes
-
and next step recommendations and strategy

Reports can be saved, used for practice, or shown to coaches and peers for feedback.
