One Way to Present Student SAE Projects

So, your students have SAEs.

Great! That is a huge win.

But, you are wanting a way to have the students share about their experiences. Why? Because Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs) are done outside of school time. So, unless you provide a way for students to share, they may never get to see what a wide variety of skills, passions and activities other classmates are doing. And of course, the side benefit of showing off your awesome students to stakeholders like you administration.

Why don’t you try an SAE Expo?

Term and strategy coined by our very own Sarah Nerswick. Sarah found a missing link in her program when it came to SAEs. She loved seeing the end cumulation of an Agriscience Fair and wondered if there was a way to have that kind of event for SAEs.

And the SAE Expo was born! The SAE Expo is a large public exhibition of knowledge and skills gained through SAE’s. Students get to choose how they will present their SAEs (speech, demonstration, display board), spend time in class preparing, practice their presentations with classmates and then the BIG EVENT. Students share their skills, successes and plans for their SAE at the SAE Expo.

Sarah created a one-page to include student instructions and a rubric. Grab your copy here!
