Destination Imagination!

Mary's DI team placed first in Districts and now they're going to State. They built a balsa wood structure that held one hundred twenty nine pounds before smashing rather spectacularly during the skit.

"We have a lot of construction in New York City," the saxaphone playing hobo explained to the Navajo Indians who were transported to New York via a Navajo Blanket Time Machine.

I think my favorite thing about this activity is seeing the kids work as a team and figure out their strengths (and weaknesses). I've watched them become friends this year and watched them learn from themselves and from others. They built more than a balsa wood structure.
