Lammersville students showcase TED‑Ed and GATE projects at board meeting
Summary
Middle‑ and high‑school students presented a student‑driven TED‑Ed and GATE showcase to the Lammersville Joint Unified board, highlighting workshops with the high‑school speech and debate team and asking the district to post recordings for wider access.
Student leaders from the district’s GATE program and TED‑Ed showcase presented projects and told the board the event was completely student driven, including coaching from the high school debate team and production by the MHHS media crew.
“My name is Shamik Raj, and I'm … a [student] for Hansen. We are extremely excited to share a recap of the wonderful experience we've had in the GATE TED Ed program,” a student presenter said during the board meeting.
Trustees praised the presentations and asked staff to make recordings available. Trustee Olsen said she would like to rewatch the talks and asked how recordings can be accessed; staff and student presenters confirmed the videos will be provided. Superintendent’s office staff also said the district can provide the recordings.
Board members and the student trustee noted that the showcase relied on collaboration across sites, with middle‑school students working with high‑school coaches and the district media team handling sound and recording. The board thanked participating teachers and coordinators and encouraged continuation of the program next year.
The student showcase occurred during the meeting’s presentation segment and concluded before trustees began routine business.
