Today, students attending the STOR meeting had an "Exyting" surprise! Exyte US, Inc. visited at lunchtime to talk about exciting career options in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction โ including their work on Micronโs major local semiconductor expansion.
Students learned how projects move from digital models to real-world construction, using tools like drones, laser scanners, and robotics to solve problems and manage facilities.
And the most exciting part... they brought their robotic dog! ๐คฏ To say the students were excited is an understatement! The room lit up as students snapped photos while it turned, wiggled, and โdancedโ across the floor. It was a huge hit!
Thanks to the Exyte representatives for bringing up new innovation and ideas to MTCHS!
๐๐ We are beyond proud to celebrate our MTCHS 2025 Youth Innovation Challenge winners โ Team Soil to Serve! ๐๐
As part of Boise Entrepreneur Weekโs Youth Innovation Challenge, Idaho high school students were invited to tackle real-world agricultural challenges through a reverse pitch competition. This yearโs focus: creating innovative revenue opportunities for one-product farms and helping small agricultural businesses better deliver their products and services.
Our team โBrady, and Elias, and Daysia, โ identified a real challenge facing small-scale farmers: limited time and resources for marketing and distribution often mean portions of their harvest go unsold.
Their solution? Soil to Serve โ a digital farmersโ marketplace designed to connect local producers directly with consumers, allowing farmers to focus on what they love most: farming. ๐ฑ
๐ The team was awarded $3,000, with $1,000 coming back to MTCHS to support future innovators!

Thank you, Trailhead, for sponsoring this great challenge as part of Boise Entrepreneur Week.
Earth Science and Physics classes had a sparkling lesson this weekโgrowing crystals! Using pipe cleaners and a borax solution, students combined science with creativity to design all kinds of shapes, creatures, and imaginative forms.
From abstract designs to tiny animals, the results were fun, we couldn`t get pictures of them all! But our favorite might be this crystal dragon (of course ๐).
The Tempest came to MTCHS this morningโwith a creative sci-fi twist that reimagined the story on a distant planet instead of an island! ๐ Our students were engaged from start to finish and enjoyed a lively Q&A with the actors after the performance.
The cast shared appreciative feedback about our studentsโ enthusiasm and thoughtful questionsโway to represent, Dragons!
Many thanks to the Idaho Shakespeare Festival for bringing this memorable experience to our campus and introducing Shakespeare to students all over Idaho.
