The Civil Debate Wall
The Bob Graham Center’s Civil Debate Wall—popularly known as ‘The Wall’—is a series of interconnected touch-screen devices that allow students, teachers and citizens to share ideas and solutions to some of the most pressing political questions facing the nation. Recently installed at the University of Florida’s Pugh Hall, home of the Bob Graham Center, The Wall operates in real time and can be synchronized to smart phones and its own website—www.civildebatewall.com.
