Convention Student Video Team

Documenting the Convention

The convention is attended by school board members, superintendents, administrators, educators and other public education leaders from across Wisconsin. The WASB will give students and a teacher adviser full access to the convention.

The student team is responsible for providing their own equipment and should capture highlights from at least one full convention day.

(The convention ends on Friday, Jan. 23, at noon. The exhibit hall is not open that day, so the video team should plan to attend on Wednesday, Jan. 21 and/or Thursday, Jan. 22 to capture the full convention experience.)

The Video

The final video should be approximately five to six minutes in length. Shooting, producing and editing the video will the responsibility of the student team. Footage should include a variety of convention events, including coverage of a general session, breakout sessions, the exhibit hall and interviews with convention attendees and speakers.

The finished video will be due Feb. 20, 2026. The video will be proudly displayed on the WASB website and used in convention promotions. We are excited to see what the students produce!
