Hi guy it’s me Randy again, today I have a new topic to talk about, it’s a competitive and international challenge called Destination Imagination. So first our teachers assigned us to a category, and each category has about 5 people in it, and this year I got assigned to engineering challenge and the challenge itself is about building bridge with only cards and duct tape.
There are a few stages about this challenge, and I am gonna walk you though it quickly.
The first stage was recognize, the main goal here is to know everything about your challenge, and how do you do that? Read the rules!! For the very first week we were reading the rule books, and also highlighting them.
Second stage: imagine
In this stage we were asked to brainstorm, and specifically about our team names. I came up with a lot of ideas, and one of them was very good so we decided to use that one(low budget bridges co.).
Stage three: initiate and collaborate
In this section we were mainly forcing on planning, some important things that we have planned were: who is doing what, bridge design, work time schedule, etc…
Stage four: assess
Our bridge was mostly done at this point, we presented our bridge to the teachers and got back som feedback. We made a lot of changes after that week, and it got a lot better.
Stage five: evaluate and celebrate
This stage is to let us reflect on the tournament that we just finished, my team went will, we got first place on the instant challenge, and third on the main challenge. but we did have enough time to present so the bridge did really quite work, so we will practice more about the story part so then we can have more time to build the bridge on stage.
