DI Heading to State

DI Coordinator Alexis Gavina #expectsexcellence and shares that our Destination Imagination students had a great time at their competition on Saturday. It was a long, fun day of learning and making new friends. These Challenge Experiences in the DI program, enable studebts to develop solutions to project-based STEAM challenges. Students then present their solutions in live at tournaments in front of judges. Everyone did so well, and Levelland ISD has three teams, and one Independent Team moving forward to State in Arlington on March 29th! The "Know 1 One" Improv Team coached by Josh Ransol from LMS placed 1st in Improv and is going to State! The Capitol "Lightbulb Disasters" placed 3rd in Improv and are going to compete at State as a Bonus Team! They are coached Barbara Utley and Pam Alexander. The South "Louis Vuitton Hotdogs" competed in the Technical Challenge and placed 2nd. They are coached by Alexis Gavina and are going to state as a Bonus team! The Independent Team, the "Rocket Rockstars" made up of LMS students is also heading to State!

The LHS "Mass M3" competed and placed 2nd in the Scientific Challenge and are coached by Lorena Sanchez. The "Shimmy Shimmy Coco Pops" from LMS placed 2nd In Improv and are coached by Brandi Zepeda.
