SPOTLIGHT PROGRAMMING

Destination Imagination, inspiring our youth to think big and go for it!! Take risk, design it, just do it! Solving challenges and creating cool things in the process.

Team Tree 2 Blue put down creative roots at the Destination Imagination State Competition on Saturday, April 11, in Sun Prairie,Wisconsin, earning a second-place award and the prestigious DaVinci Award for innovation and creativity.

The judges were captivated by the team’s imaginative performance, wrote in their notes:

"Everyone has heard of Isaac Newton, but have you heard of his great great great great great great great great granddaughter Isabella Newton?

This dynamic duo brought her story to life and created an Apple Core memory for the audience.

With a tree full of hidden surprises, cleverly crafted puns, and ever changing scenery powered by creative lighting, pulley systems, balloon magic, and even flying apples, their performance kept us on our toes.

Though they may have been small in number, they were mighty in imagination, innovation and execution."

Team Tree 2 Blue is made up of team members Jenavie and Edith, two local homeschool students who founded their team last fall. This is their first year in the program; coached by team manager Rebecca Bystrom. This group has been hard at work tackling this creative challenge; their dedication paid off earlier this season when they captured first place at the Regional Competition in Hudson on February 28.

Next up, the duo will represent the state of Wisconsin at the Global Finals in Kansas City, taking place May 21–24. Congratulations to Team Tree 2 Blue on their achievement and best of luck as they take their inventive performance to the world stage!
