Destination ImagiNation challenge
This year we are getting a team together to do Destination Imagination (DI). We loved doing it last year and are excited to do a challenge including robots.
Robotics is shaping up to be a theme this year. We are also participating in the First Lego League where the children design and program a robot and undertake a research project and presentation.
Quite a few people have asked me what the challenges are like. They are all fun and it is hard to choose. We chose this one.
Challenge B: DI®-Bot
Educational Focus: Structural Engineering, Robotic Technology, Research, Technical Design and 
Construction, Science, Theater Arts, Teamwork
The Destination:
Where This Challenge Will Take You!
Robots – doing our chores and serving our every need! What could be better? Robotic Technology has changed our lives and made our dreams a reality. Gaming systems, cell phones, cars and factories all use Robotic Technology. What will Robotic Technology accomplish next? How will our lives change because of it? You get to decide and use your knowledge of Robotic Technology to show us what may happen
Points of Interest! Your team will:
- Learn about Robotic Technology and the changes it creates.
- Create an original Story which envisions and shows how at least one character’s life may be changed by Robotic Technology.
- Design, create, and integrate a device called DI-BOT, which completes a motion or task, into the Story.
- Create a method to change at least one prop or set piece, or part(s) of the prop or set piece, into DI-BOT, or a part of DI-BOT.
- Create a scene change that enhances the Presentation by providing an effective transitional link from one scene to another.
- Create two Side Trips and integrate them into the Presentation
