Students compete in Wood Science Competition at NTC’s Antigo campus

June 9, 2025

ANTIGO – Northcentral Technical College (NTC) welcomed 60 high school students from 10 area high schools last month to compete in the third annual Wood Olympics competition at NTC’s Antigo Campus.

Logan Wells, wood science faculty at NTC, said the competition consisted of a variety of challenges designed to showcase students’ knowledge of wood manufacturing, wood products and woodworking.

Fifteen teams, Wells said, competed in challenges throughout the day, toured NTC’s Wood Technology Center of Excellence – including the new sawmill training facility – and participated in a career fair with local lumber industry employers.

“It’s so rewarding to see students get excited about the future of the forest product industry,” he said. “The success of this event is largely due to our collaboration with our high school and industry partners.”
