DI Competition


Saturday both kids' teams presented their solutions to the challenges they selected last October. This was the first time that I was able to watch Sunil and the Gators perform their tour of the Statue of Liberty. While on the tour they discover that the statue is really a fake. It was very cute.

Sheela nararated for her team, The Solar Storm. They were a group of Superheros defending their city against a dragon and his dragon master. The superhero that saves the day had to overcome her fear of reptiles in order to help.

At Sunil's level, Rising Stars, they don't get scores or awards. They do all get ribbons, pins and certificates. Sheela's team did not place in the top six (the only ones that are annonced). They received pins and ribbons as well.

The State competition is in April here at the University of Dallas. Sheela has asked to go and watch. I'll take her and any of her team mates that want to come along so that they can see what the level of effort went in to the first place teams solutions.

What a great thing the kids have done. It's good that Sheela wants to go see the next level. I think it is very important to do that.

Way to go, kids! (and Mom!)

Congratulations for us, too!

It sounds like everyone is doing really well.
