I don’t know if this year will be any different, but I can speak to last year’s based upon what my D experienced. Last year they had everyone together in one zoom where kids were asked to introduce themselves and speak a little about their interests and experiences. Then they introduced a topic/problem before splitting into smaller breakout groups. Each breakout was about 6 people and was observed by a Lafayette representative (who didn’t participate in the discussion). They were tasked with coming up with a solution to the given topic based upon their own diverse experiences and backgrounds and then when everyone came back together each group would “present” their results. It was low-key, no stress type of activity. It appeared primarily intended to assess how each kid took initiative, spoke and reasoned, worked in groups, etc. Feel free to message me if you have specific questions.
