BAKER CITY – Six students in Baker City were announced as AgriScience Project Finalists by Baker Technical Institute (BTI) recently.

Students use scientific principles and emerging technologies to solve complex problems related to agriculture, food, and natural resources. The agriscience fair is for middle and high school students. Participation begins at the local level and progresses to state and national levels.
