Twelve 8th grade students from Idaho Science and Technology Charter School participated in Showcase Mock Congressional Hearings in Boise on Thursday.  Students made presentations and answered questions about systems of government, principles of good government, American Founders, branches of American government,  judicial review, and political parties. While in Boise, students were able to tour the State Capitol, meet the governor, and tour the Anne Frank human rights memorial.

Students who participate in We the People in 8th grade at ISTCS earn high school history credits.

Students unite together to make a difference! During Red Ribbon week at Idaho Science and Technology Charter School, students were encouraged to make the choice to be their best selves. ISTCS students joined with students across the country in making the pledge to stay away from drugs. 

Students at Idaho Science and Technology Charter School participated in Red Ribbon activities designed to help them make the decision to stay away from drugs during the week of October 23rd.  Monday, students were encouraged to "Team Up Against Drugs,"  by wearing sports gear.  During the week, students also participated in "Give Drugs the Boot" day and "Lei Off Drugs."  The week culminated with a Red Ribbon Assembly during which students were given the opportunity to make the pledge to not allow drugs to be part of their lives.

Science should engage students in enjoyable learning activities!

Students in Mr. Beck's 6th grade science class are applying their skills using the metric system to the scientific method today. Rather than sitting at desks with worksheets, they are using everyday items such as straws, paper plates, marbles, and sponges to predict, estimate, and measure. How fun!
