Students create drama and build machines at regional tournament
From staff reports
The Trinity Valley North Central Region of Destination ImagiNation is holding its season culminating tournament at Hebron High School in Carrollton Feb. 26. Students in kindergarten through 12th grade will present their solutions to such challenges as creating machines to move materials between towering heights, encountering mythological creatures from other cultures, using energy cycle knowledge to create a circular story and performance and helping Big Bug get through his very bad day. This is an experience that will wow the senses and impress spectators with innovative kid-created solutions to complex problems.
As part of this event, TVNC DI will also hold a silent auction for a variety of items such as sports memorabilia, airline tickets, fine dining and theater tickets. The profits from this event will go toward scholarships for graduating seniors who have shown excellence and longevity in the Destination ImagiNation program.
