SISD hosts Regional Destination Imagination Tournament.
Socorro Independent School District hosted the 2018 ‘SaYes to Creativity’ Regional Destination Imagination Tournament Saturday at Eastlake High School.
More than 145 teams and about 28 districts from El Paso County participated in the day-long event.
Teams competed in academic challenges in the fields of technical, science, fine arts, improvisation, engineering and service learning.Students took part in two challenges: a central challenge, which they have been working on months prior to competition, and an instant challenge, which is spontaneous and they learn about on day of the contest. Participants solve challenges by generating ideas with team members through research, exploration and presentation of solutions.
Jimmy Aguirre, seventh grade student from William D. Slider Middle School, said, “”It’s really cool because we’ve been preparing for so long and we’ve worked really hard and its good to know it might all pay off.”
Teams compete in academic challenges in the fields of technical, science, fine arts, improvisation, engineering and service learning.
Winning teams will qualify for the Texas Destination Imagination Tournament that will be April 7 in Mansfield Tex.
Destination Imagination is a global creative problem-solving organization that prepares kindergarten to high school students for college, career and life through 21st century thinking and learning principles.
