McKenzie decided to try something new this year at school and joined a club called Destination Imagination. I had no idea what they were working towards, but they met every week before school to work on a project to present this spring. The day of presenting/competing arrived and I finally was able to see what it was all about. The whole day was dedicated to kids with STEM interests. There were teams competing for pinball collaborations, robotics, technical challenges, engineering challenges, science technology, and in McKenzie's case, fine arts presentations. The whole purpose of the program is to have kids solve a challenge when given a certain set of parameters. It's all about creativity, problem solving and collaboration. McKenzie and her friends put on a short play that was an Alice in Wonderland spin-off. McKenzie was the Queen of Spades and was thrilled to have a chance to wear her regal crown. The play was fun, silly, whimsical, and they did a great job.
They ended up placing second in their category and earned a spot to State. Nice job girls!
