Yuki Melvin's AP Japanese students have been working on project based learning (PBL) activities. As a public product element of the PBL, the students applied to J.LIVE Talk, a TED Talk-style national Japanese speech contest hosted by George Washington University.

Two LBSS Seniors were selected as national semifinalists: Emily Coyne and Marisa Guerrero! Congratulations to both semifinalists! Three finalists will be selected from the six semi-finalists. Those three students will present their TALK at 2020 J.LIVE Talk on Saturday, November 14. Go Bruins! Go Seniors!
