Destination Imagination

A couple of months ago Vivian was invited to join the St. James Destination Imagination  team. Two students from each grade were nominated by their teachers and Viv was one of the two from 4th grade. I hadn't ever heard of Destination Imagination (DI) and even now the best way I can describe it is through the DI website...

"Destination Imagination prepares Colorado’s kids to be the innovators of the future by combining the arts, sciences, and technology with creativity, teamwork, and problem solving. Destination Imagination is a non-profit organization primarily run by volunteers."

After weeks of preparing and building and planning the St. James Mindworkers DI team represented themselves at Regionals in Denver. It was amazing to see such a confident group of young minds, and thanks to all of their hard work, they placed second! They are headed to State and Viv couldn't be more excited!!
Where their structure was going to be placed...
...putting the structure on...
...in the meantime the skit started...
...and then the weights start to be placed...
...more skit...





...everyone was holding their breath by this point wondering how much more it would hold...

It held the maximum weight - 195 lbs!!

Congratulations, St. James Mindworkers!!
