Smithfield High School, Virginia, Spirit of Discovery and Imagination Award. This team exhibited true DI spirit while at the Instant Challenge site. Upon entering the Chill Out area, this Secondary level team noticed a Middle level team sitting alone and clearly unhappy with their performance in Instant Challenge. Rather than spending time debriefing their own Challenge, they took on the mission of cheering up the younger team. Their selfless sharing is an example of what Destination ImagiNation is all about.
Elementary 3rd Place: Harker School, San Jose, California.
Renaissance Award: Rhim Kyung Bae, Korea. Two nations, two cultures, linked by one bridge. A bridge where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. An architectural piece of art so incredibly intricate, one hated to crush it. The team combined the sturdiness of the classic Brooklyn bridge with the new the new Japanese engineering techniques. The â€natural brains†from Korea are to be congratulated for their elegantly crafted creative bridge.
DaVinci Award: Powhatan School, Virginia. An ingenious pop-up book illuminated the story and presented a 3-dimensional view of the various scenes and props. Worms crawled over the pages, gophers poked their heads through the dirt, and grapes hung from the vines beneath the rising sun. Hours of work and artistic talent were obvious.
