After many months preparing, building, scripting, and testing, we completed our first DI tournament and the second one is coming next.
So at some point last year or so we were introduced to DI, it was explained in a maker class on a slideshow. So a few months later the teams were set and I was in the engineering group with

What we were doing before the tournament
so most of the time we were building the device and our backdrops and planning our props. So we did spend some time at school some days before semester 2 working on backdrops and we did some work in class. We did meet up at my house once to do work, but we did not get much done there. Also the Eloise and Siena were working on the story and the scripts and basically everything else.
The tournament 1
so the first DI tournament was not fun at all, we had to be at school at 8:30 on a Saturday which was very annoying for me and I wanted to go snowboarding with my dad but I couldn’t because i had to stay there the whole time. So we did our performance and after that. We just went around watching everone else’s preformances instead before the reward ceremony. So at the ceremony we got first place for our performance and we were just happy that we beat the private schools. Video coming end of may

Reflection
So for my first DI tournament. We did really well because we got first place for our solution. But our teamwork was really good during the performance and a special shoutout to Eloise to doing most of the work over the past few months! Also what I probably want to improve on are the device and making our backdrops better and doing more. Also how I contributed is going to tutorial for team meetups and I did assist the girls on making the backdrops and providing my dads tools for my team.
