MEMS Students Attend State Showcase
Students from the West Shore Career-Tech MEMS (micro electro-mechanical systems) program participated in the annual Association for Career and Technical (ACTE) Education Legislative Showcase on Feb. 4 in Columbus. The event brought together representatives from 44 districts across Ohio and offered an opportunity for selected career-technical programs to share their work with state legislators and education leaders.
Students share about what they've been learning this year with Sen. Nickie Antonio.
West Shore applied to participate in the showcase and was chosen to represent the region. MEMS students hosted an interactive demonstration highlighting soldering skills and explained how the MEMS program prepares students with hands-on, in-demand technical experience. The event allows legislators, business leaders, and educators to better understand the impact of career-technical education funding and legislative decisions.
The MEMS program, developed through a state Career-Technical Expansion Grant, generated strong interest from legislators who were excited to see the program’s progress. Students demonstrated their skills for Sen. Nickie Antonio and received commendations from both Sen. Antonio and Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney.
Students were recognized for their enthusiasm, professionalism, and technical skills, as well as their excitement for future career, workforce, and college opportunities. West Shore is proud of how these students represented West Shore and Lakewood at this statewide event!
