Crestline wins first in state Destination Imagination tourney

Crestline fourth graders in the PAGE program placed in a recent Destination Imagination competition with coaches Susan Dulin and Julia Peterson.

DI is a project-based program that teaches the creative process from imagination to innovation. In the fall, the three teams chose one of seven challenges. Two teams chose a Structure Challenge where they had to build a structure that would support weight as pieces of the structure were removed. 

The Smashing Stunning Structure Superstars placed first with a story about robots transforming Moe’s restaurant into the fabulous Moe’s Robotics in 2075. Members included Margaret Krawczyk, Libby Clegg, Matthew Walton, Quinn Denson and Will Decker. 

The Candymakers placed second in the competition. Their team members are Virginia Averyt, Ella Hicks, Claudia Carson-Keane, Landon Friedman and Noah Warren. 

The third team chose an Improvisation Challenge, where they were given a random setting, situation, improv game, and a street performance with one minute to create a skit that integrated all four items. This was repeated three times with different scenarios and back-to-back performances. The Imaginative, Invincible Imps won first place in their challenge. Team members are Connor Jenkins, Richard Monk, Lilly Odom, Caley Record and Emily Straughn.
