High Instant Challenge: 5 Medals

Midlothian, TX —On February 26, 2022, Midlothian ISD hosted the annual Greater Fort Worth Destination Imagination tournament at Midlothian High School and Frank Seale Middle School. After months of preparation, over 180 student teams from the Greater Fort Worth area presented their creative solutions to a number of mind-bending STEAM-based (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) challenges.

Destination Imagination is an international, project-based educational program that encourages innovation, teamwork and creative problem solving. Students chose one of seven different open-ended DI challenges and worked together in teams to plan, create and present their solution for the appraisers last weekend. Despite multiple ice storms and post-pandemic virus surges that tried to thwart progress, these teams showed their resilience and determination to overcome the challenges and presented solutions that wowed the appraisers!

MISD was well-represented at the tournament, sending 25 competitive teams and 17 early learning teams. Of the 25 teams competing in their respective challenges in grades 3-8, MISD teams earned a total of 17 team challenge medals and 5 highest instant challenge medals.
