From diflnews at floridadi.org Tue Mar 6 00:35:32 2018 From: diflnews at floridadi.org (Florida DI News) Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2018 19:35:32 -0500 Subject: [DIFLnews] Florida Destination Imagination State Tournament Message-ID: Greetings, Everyone is cordially invited to attend our 2018 Florida State Tournament to be held Saturday, March 19 at Park Maitland School, 1450 S. Orlando Avenue, Maitland, Florida. Our teams will begin presenting their challenge solutions at 11:30am continuing until about 4:00pm. We will have STEM activities available to try through the afternoon, including KEVA plank building and patterning, and a "Try DI" station. Representatives of idTech will also be on hand with some interesting activities to do. I have attached a program of the day. Come see how much impact weight a team built structure can hold, or a 2 act musical complete with a spectacle and a changing set piece. How about an amusement attraction set in an unlikely location or a story about friends from two different cultures? Hope to see you there!

We hope that you had great time at our 2018 Florida tournament. We are so proud of all of our teams for the cool solutions that you developed this year and look forward to seeing you again next year! Photos of the day have been published to our facebook page www.facebook.com/floridadi as well as in the PHOTO GALLERY on our website www.floridadi.org If you have other photos you would like added, we would be happy to do so. KEVA PLANKS We would like to know how you liked the KEVA PLANKS. Did you enjoy building with them? Would you like to use them next year if available? We need to bring them back and forth from Knoxville, so we would like to make sure it is worth transporting and storing them from year to year. . SUGGESTIONS Please feel free to email us with any ideas you may have to improve our tournament. We are happy to hear about what went well and what wasn't so good for you. LOST AND FOUND We have some found items. Please ask your teams and supporters if anyone has lost a pair of black hard plastic knee pads, a brown monkey or a blue tote with orange surfboard print, so that they can be returned. If I don't hear by May 1, they will be donated. Tournament Volunteers Our thanks once again to all of our wonderful volunteers. Florida DI is an all- volunteer organization, and it takes a lot of people and time to provide the program. We are so fortunate to have had your help. We couldn't do it without you! Special thanks to the Disney VoluntEARS program, and our friends from The Villages for the generous donation of your time and expertise.
