Orono Time Turners Global Finals

Donation protected
The Orono Time Turners have made it to Global Finals! Our Destination Imagination team, made up of second though fifth graders has worked hard in the Service Learning category this year.  Our team placed first in our Regional Competition, and third our State competition and are now off to GLOBALS for the first time! 

For our project, our goal was to research a community need and then conquer it.  We found out the the warming house in Maple Plain needed to be fixed up because of vandalism and also years of wear and tear. We cleaned out the garbage, painted the inside, built new shelves and coat hooks and had an open house for the community. The city even added a security camera to keep this from happening again!  Our hope is that lots of neighborhood kids and families can use this in the future.

In addition to our project, we had to present an 8 minute skit where a character has to plan an ESCAPE!  We had to include what we researched about the community and our service project with a suspenseful script, scenery, props and costumes all made 100% by our team (no parent help). We also had to include scientific and technical elements, as well as performance and visual arts clues. We love that Destination Imagination gives us to opportunity to learn and use these skills.

We are excited to be one of the top-scoring Destination Imagination teams in our state and to have the opportunity to present our Challenge solution at Global Finals—an international academic competition where we will compete against teams in our Challenge from around the globe.

This year, Global Finals will take place in Kansas City, Missouri. Teams that earn the opportunity to attend Global Finals are responsible for their own fundraising to cover their costs (over $5,500). Because getting to the competition is expensive, our team would be so grateful for your support!
