Check Out What We Did at D.I.!

Hi, guys!


Some of you might know what D.I. is.  For those that don't, D.I. is Destination Imagination.  It is a competitive program where you work for months on a challenge and then compete others who chose the same challenge. 

This was my first year competing.  My team chose the tech challenge.  Here we are before we competed:


On the day of competition, we got to the contest, ate, watched a few other teams, and, then. got into our instant challenge. (Sorry, we can't tell you about that yet.  We are sworn to secrecy until Memorial Day.) Then, we went to do our team challenge.

This is us during the challenge:



In our challenge, we had to make a stage that used a technical method to move someone from one spot to another.  We also had to have two tech effects, one in our opening act and one in our headlining act.  We also had two choice elements.  Ours were a waterfall/projection screen and our stage design.

For our stage, we combined everyone's ideas into one, so we had a football field, a wrestling ring, and two jungle islands with a waterfall all at a circus.

We were surprised at the end of the day, because we came in third place!  (My mom did not even think we would place.  She was happy for us just to get to the competition, but, I wasn't.  I wanted us to place.)




Bye!

P.S.  I am sorry it has been so long between post again.  Life is super busy, and I have been doing other things.  I have a Youtube channel now where I post Mincraft, Kodu, and Civ videos.   I also just had other things to do.  I want to post more here now again.  Please tell me what you'd like to hear about.
