Members of 1,468 teams from 17 different countries gathered in Thompson-Boling Arena for Destination Imagination's 2015 Welcome Ceremony on Wednesday night. After a parade featuring delegates from each nation, there was music, acrobats, and a special appearance from astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
Hello! My name is Hannah FitzGerald and I, along with my team mates Nathaniel Larson, Seth Colbert-Pollack, Jared Tincher, Piper Shatz-Akin, and Kaj Anders-Macleod are apart of the Southwest High School Destination Imagination team, Garden and Sock.
Destination Imagination (DI) is an educational program where student teams solve open-ended Challenges and present their solutions at tournaments. This year our team tackled the fine arts challenge, challenge C, Feary Tales. The challenge was to create and perform an original play in which the central character over comes a fear.
