| | I just found out that the Destination Imagination tournament (which my team has been working on for 6 months) is the exact same day as limited champs, so the one time i qualified, i cant make it! The two most important tournaments of my life have to be in the same friggin weekend! Why??????? | | | |

Well if it weren't for the fact that our team has been working on the DI project for 6 months... and the rule that if i quit that they can't use any of my ideas... then i could see doing the limited champs. but by now i have just commited myself to DI too much to do anything else the weekend of March 1st. | | | |

| You've heard of spelling bees, quiz bowls, robotics competitions and science fairs. In fact, there is probably a special event for every subject taught at school. Well, Destination ImagiNation is none of those things – and all of those things! Destination ImagiNation is a place where kids take what they know and what they are good at and learn to apply it to solve challenges, working together and cooperatively with a team and pushing the limits of imagination to best not their competition, but themselves. Destination ImagiNation is a community-based, school-friendly program that builds participants' creativity, problem solving, and teamwork in enjoyable and meaningful ways.
Teams of five to seven members work together to apply creativity, critical thinking and their particular talents to solve a Team Challenge. The Destination ImagiNation Team Challenge is a Challenge that is solved over a period of eight months or more. There are five competitive Team Challenges from which teams may choose, each with its own educational focus. Each Team Challenge is designed to be open-ended and solvable in many ways and on many levels. Challenge A: Technical/Mechanical
Challenge B: Theater Arts/Science
Challenge C: Theater Arts/Fine Arts
Challenge D: Theater Arts/Improvisation
Challenge E: Structural & Architectural Design
so there ya go... copy/pasted off their website :)

| You can only do the Di while student?
Probably wont be able to DI next year?
Let lots of people down if you dont DI?
How likley are you to make the top10 limited champs this year (compared with next)?
I know what I'd pick. But I really strongly dislike breaking my word, which I reckon is what I'd see not doing DI to be. | |

| | Yeah, kinda a no brainer since we have been working at it for half a year and i can't really leave my team without ruining the team, I just had to let out my anger/frustration/dissapointment by making the thread. | | | |

| | Sucks that they're the same weekend, but it is nice to see that some of the younger generation is interested in something besides how to make a crack pipe from a tire gauge and a Chore Boy. | |

Indeed. Perhaps there is hope for the younglings after all...

| I'd say sticking with DI is the right choice. It's a great program, and more important than a game, even if your performance in said game is very impressive. | |

Yup. It's not like I'm watching you or anything...
Seriously, in another thread (maybe about people's line of work, I can't remember) you mentioned that you help take care of younger siblings during the day, as you are home-schooled. | |
