Two Destination Imagination Teams Place First in Regional Tournament

The Steward School sent five groups of Lower School students to the regional Destination Imagination (DI) tournament.
The Steward School sent five groups of Lower School students to the regional Destination Imagination (DI) tournament at Atlee High School on February 29. Fun fact: Our students comprised one-fifth of all DI teams in the region!

The Six Wonders (coached by parent and board member Paul Yoon) placed first in the improvisational theatre challenge, in which they improvised a story about a villain with a randomly selected superpower who causes an unusual situation that is solved by another character with an underwhelming superpower.

In the technical challenge, The Morning Miracle Makers (coached by parent Carin Krawitz and faculty member and parent Jennifer Maitland) took first place by designing and building a bed that makes itself, which they got to demonstrate in person at the event. On top of their working design, they also needed to present their project in a skit no longer than eight minutes long!

Two teams competed in the engineering challenge by building a bridge using only playing cards and duct tape, then presenting their solution in a skit that showed an unusual connection. The Dystopians (coached by parent Alison Bernier) based their story in ancient Egypt and finished in second, while The Steward Spartans Bridge Builders (coached by faculty member and parent Amy Hendrick) gave their spin on superheroes, finishing third.

All four teams will represent the central region in the state tournament, which is currently postponed from its original date in late March. Top teams at this tournament earn the right to attend Global Finals, the culminating event of every DI season.
