| Destination Imagination (DI) Destination Imagination (DI) is one of the many competitive academic teams on campus. Their system is very different from other teams. Although DI is one team itself, it is split into ten different teams. These ten teams compete in five different challenges labeled A-E. The teams that make first and second place are able to move onto the state competition. The different challenges this year are “Assembly Required”, “The Solar Stage”, “Coming Attractions, News to Me, and Hold It! Each of the challenges is different and requires a large amount of problem solving skills and patience. Assembly Required, The Solar Stage, and Hold It all requires skills to overcome a task. Teams here are presented with a problem and given materials to solve that problem. In Assembly Required, the team must design and build equipment that can retrieve and deliver things. Then they must present their new product and tell a story to go along with it. The Solar Stage must also plan and create a product that can capture solar energy. Afterwards, they too must present their new product, but they need to use theatrical effects and special lighting to dramatize their performance. Lastly, Hold It is a competition that requires architectural knowledge. Here, the team must create a structure out of wood and glue to hold golf balls. They must also build a delivery system for the golf balls to travel on. Furthermore, they must present their product by telling a story about their product. Coming Attractions is another challenge they must complete. As a team, members must direct and film a movie trailer for a hypothetical movie. They also need to design a cinematic special effect and show it in their movie trailer. Lastly, they must create their own original soundtrack to accompany the movie trailer. News To Me a unique competition. Although they do not need to make anything, their task is more daunting. They must make two different news stories and make them relate with each other. Then, they plan a short five minute skit connecting the two stories together in a cause and effect relationship. During the skit, they need to use improvisational human scenery and last minute props to enhance the story. When DI came back from their competition on March 3, they were proud to announce that nine of ten teams qualified for the state competition. Unfortunately, only eight of these teams will be able to attend the competition, but nevertheless, it was a job well done.
