Student Showcase Stage is an open sign up for students to share their projects, speeches, presentations, etc. Members do not have to have qualified for State Convention; any SAE project, speech, presentation connected to agriculture or leadership can be submitted. Registration is required. Students will also need to submit a summary of their project and/or manuscript. After registration closes, state staff will reach out to the advisor with next steps.Spanish Creed Speaking Event
