Idaho Envirothon

The Idaho Envirothon is a unique hands on educational competition held once a year at the Living Waters Ranch in Challis. It's such a great event that students and organizers are hoping more Idaho teams get involved. Here’s organizer Chris Banks: We want as many kids from across Idaho to come and enjoy this setting and participate in this program and just kind of get their hands dirty while they're learning, so to speak, and what a better place to do it. And so we really want more kids involved in this program. Wow. North Idaho Stem Charter Academy won the 2024 Idaho Envirothon, their second victory in a row. How's it feeling, guys? Amazing. Good. Yeah. Scary. Definitely. We've grown as a team doing it too. So, yeah, friendship is strengthened by doing it too. Speaker3: So it's it's an amazing feeling. Speaker4: The Envirothon competition is great. It's a lot of fun. We don't play a lot of, uh, common sports like football or basketball or anything like those. Instead, we do a lot more knowledge based competitions. We've done the forestry competition up in Farragut the last couple of years. We also do a lot of robotics competitions, such as First Tech Challenge and First Lego League. Speaker1: The Idaho Envirothon is a great learning opportunity, but it is a competition.
