We recently started destination imagination (D.I). Our group name Cataclysmic Catapults.

We did many things well, some of the best parts of our overall soloution I would say, the story and the background. The story was clear and easy to follow while also being creative. We also had art as one of our team choice elements and used our skills for the background of our performance.

Me and Monica worked on the background and the team choice elements while Nate and Adam worked on the machine and Ronan and Callum did the script. We split the work evenly among the group to ensure all the work got done in time and that we all had a role to play.

There were many things that we needed to improve on, first of all we need to improve on how our machine launches, it was fairly unsuccessful only launching a couple of centimetres when we predicted it would go almost a few feet. The machine also was to big and therefore none of the points counted towards our final score.

I learned a lot from this experience that I could benefit from when we present in the provincials. I learned a lot about how to system works and how I will have to nagavigte from room to room. I also learned that teamwork is extremely important and that we needed to communicate more because we split up the work. 

Overall we scored 4th place which was disappointing  but it gave us a chance to learn what we needed to improve on. Hopefully in the provincials we’ll do better and be able to impress the judges.
