A group of Fountain Middle School Students needs to raise $9,000 within just a couple of weeks so that they can compete nationally in the Destination Imagination program.
The Fountain Middle School Destination ImagiNation team recently earned 1st place in the Pikes Peak Regional Tournament and a special Da Vinci Award for creativity. In addition, the team placed 2nd at the Colorado State DI Tournament, earning a trip to the Global Finals in Knoxville, Tennessee, from May 25-28. This DI team, made up of six 8th grade students and one 7th grade student, has been working together for three years. These students are on the Honor Roll and participate in Student Council, Band, Choir, Drama, and Athletics at Fountain Middle School.
Destination ImagiNation is an extra-curricular activity which requires problem solving, creativity and teamwork. Each team prepares a Team Challenge, requiring specific criteria which must be incorporated, and an Instant Challenge which introduces a surprise task or tasks which must be completed in a matter of minutes. The scores from the two challenges are averaged together for a final team score.
