Skill Demonstration Events (SDEs) are FCCLA competitive events that allow members to demonstrate hands-on, real-world skills related to Family and Consumer Sciences and career pathways. These events focus on showing what students can do, using skills learned in FCS classes and through FCCLA involvement. SDEs are a great introduction to FCCLA competition, as they require less time than STAR Events while still helping members build confidence, professionalism, and college- and career-readiness skills. All FCCLA members are eligible to compete in SDEs at the national level.
