IMAGE GALLERY: DI Teams Go Five for Five

When it comes to overall success, Windham's five Destination Imagination teams saw a 100 percent return rate last weekend.

According to a release from Windham DI, each team who competed at a regional tournament in Kingston will be advancing to the state level competition at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton.

That event will take place on March 31.

Three of the advancing teams from Windham are on the elementary level, one on the middle school level and one from high school.

The release added that two of the teams received additional awards.

One was for the sophisticated engineering and design of a gear driven scenery device built by an elementary level team member.

The other was for the creative integration of several disparate thematic elements ranging from literary characters to fantasy to science and medicine into a cohesive presentation developed by the middle school team. 

The award write up said that “the team’s amazing integration wowed the appraisers opening their eyes to the amazingly creative potential for solar energy.”

Two rising star teams also competed, which includes students from grades K-2. These students are not scored for their participation.
