Frankie is going to GLOBALS with his DI team!!!!
Frankie is raising money to get to the global competition for Destination Imagination. He and his team will proudly be representing Fairview Elementary School after winning 1st place in the technical challenge at their state competition, where they built an instrument that weighed 9 grams, produced musical tones and held 104 pounds! This team has worked hard and long to go to globals and we are so very proud of what they have accomplished.
Destination Imagination (DI) is a "STEM" based challenge competition, where teams are given a challenge that they must solve without adult interference. The challenges can be anything from creating a skit based around building a roller coaster using toothpicks, paper towels and other miscellaneous objects to developing a play based around a charity that the team has spent so many hours volunteering at. It is a volunteer based, non-profit, competition, and each year, 1st place winners from states and countries meet at the University of Tennessee to participate in one of the largest creativity and innovative competitions in the world. It is an honor to be able to go to global.
For those of you that may not know, Destination Imagination (DI) is a creative, problem solving, STEM oriented competition supported by schools across the world that strives to promote creativity in the young people who participate. More than 17,000 people will attend this year’s tournament with over 8,000 students competing. Students from 45 U.S. states and 14 different countries are scheduled to attend and compete at this year’s Global Finals being held at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
The cost of Globals for each person is $750 which covers lodging for 5 nights, all meals, and multiple events and seminars offered by several organizations, such as NASA, National Geographic, Microsoft, along with workshops on script writing, circuit building and more. Please help this team be a part of the 2016 Destination Imagination Global Competition. This is an experience that will impact their life and one they will never forget. Any donation amount is appreciated to help Frankie get to the global competition. Thank You.
Frankie is working with his team in other fundraising events as well which help contribute to his fundraising goal. He has, so far, helped with donut sales, movie night and spirit day so is building up his fundraising account. We will post updates on other upcoming fundraisers such as yard sales, more donut days, other movie nights, etc.
Please feel free to share this page with your friends. We thank you in advance for any financial support you can offer - no matter the amount... every dollar counts!
