Students To Showcase Their Creativity And Innovation at Local Academic Competition

On Sunday, March 10th, four Medfield teams will participate in a fun-filled tournament called Destination Imagination (DI). After months of preparation, student teams from many schools in our region will present their creative solutions to a number of mind-bending STEAM-based (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) challenges at the Regional Tournament in Beverly, MA.

Destination Imagination is an international, project-based educational program that
encourages innovation, teamwork, and creative problem-solving. Students choose one
of seven STEAM-based DI challenges and work in teams to research, plan, create and
present their solution to the challenge.

Reactions” with Thomas Crocker, Sawyer Feig, Ayden McArdle, Erik McArdle, and Declan McCullough, managed by Mike Crocker and Kyle McGough.
