Back from Destination Imagination Global Finals

[Laser light show and pyrotechnics at Destination Imagination Global Finals 2006]

We're back from the Destination Imagination Global Finals 2006, and what a show it was. We saw kids working in teams and creating solutions to problems on time and under very tight budgets. We witnessed a machine that continually shot ping-pong balls across a 20 foot space at more than 100 miles per hour. We saw plays that would have done well in any drama competition. And most of all, we saw kids who worked hard, took risks, and weren't afraid to fail. It was probably one of the best weeks I've ever had.

Anyone wanting to see more pictures from the event should go to globalfinals.org. Those that would like to involve their children or school in the program should go to idodi.org. I highly recommend it.

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging.
