Our tournament for DI came and went last weekend.  Gigi participated with six other first and second graders in an after school club where the team conceptualized, wrote and designed a play from beginning to end.  The next division of DI would be competitive, but this was Gigi’s last year as a rising star, so she mostly had fun creating cool stuff with her friends!  If she chooses to join again next year, she will compete with the potential of moving on to state and beyond.

This year the challenge was to invent a new toy and see what happens with it in a play.  Her team chose to make a robot, a robot that goes on a RAMPAGE!  It even has a car chase scene in the play!

We are unsure of the status of DI in the future, but know that these past two years have offered Gigi a unique problem solving opportunity each time.  We are proud of her determination, her teamwork and her creativity!
