Students participating in Public Speaking, having the same judges. 2nd and 3rd place winners get more recognition.

Students really enjoyed the food and I liked to see the State Officers leading this event.

Students worked hard to prepare for events, give the group an opportunity to celebrate as  a whole for the willingness to step out and compete, regardless if they won an event. Maybe at the end of the event, have a party atmosphere similar to National with party favors, music, fun lights.

Have 2 or 3 schools in each group and have the groups rotate through different activities.

The tour was too big and some of my students couldn't hear the tour guide.

The students had a better understanding of how representatives expressed their ideas about bills.

The tour guide was hard to understand, the students didn't fully know what was going on during the open session and quickly lost interest.

Filler activities. I liked the employer scavenger hunt, something similar to that so we aren’t so ahead of schedule.

My students wished they were able to do their speech in a separate area where the other noise wasn’t so bothersome.

Awesome food and venue.

Allow students to discuss the legislation. Even if it’s just as a class. Soon they will be able to vote as well.

I think overall it seemed hectic. It felt rushed and like I didn’t know what we were supposed to be doing.

My students didn't like the structure of the speeches.  They said it was distracting hearing the others talk. One said her judge would look away to other speeches.

It felt a little rushed from thing to thing... I would like to have more time for speaking with senators, watching the floor, and a discussion on what bills are being discussed.

Students enjoyed lunch and talking with their Senator.  It would be great to connect with them prior to going. I know last year my kids loved spotting Tony after having met him!

Charter buses was great for the OPS students. Can we keep them for next year?

Watching congress in session was confusing. We need to re-evaluate how we structure this for them.

Would be nice if there was a way to speak to their senator, as our group did not.  While understanding it is in session.

Students understood that they represented JAG Nebraska, but they still have valid opinions when it comes to legislation being passed. We advocate for our students to speak up and engage as part of their civic duties, yet when they have the chance to voice their opinion, they are shut down. I had students who wanted to discuss controversial legislation being passed that affects their futures. But they were advised not to because they represent JAG. They felt like JAG did not trust them to voice educated opinions to legislators.

Some of my students were very uncomfortable with the cameras. They were up in their face at times, during their events. During the employability skills event, one of my students mentioned that the camera was in his face the entire time during his interview, which made him more nervous. One of my students was asked to "walk" for the camera 4+ times just for them to get a shot. He didn't want to tell them no, but he did tell me it made him very uncomfortable and it felt forced.

They really enjoyed watching the senators in session. They asked if they could spend more time watching a session. This could be an option for next year if there are students who want to spend more time in a session.

Having the same judges for each participant in a  competitive event would create more consistency in judging. There seemed to have been very inconsistent judging.

Maybe have a few more things for the kids to be kept busy in between.  Understanding this year was moved, and this could have been the issue this year.
