On Saturday March 28th, 2015, the FSA Destination Imagination team won the GA State Affiliate Tournament for three consecutive years. This year, the team is comprised of two (2) students, Viveca Harjani and Njeri Lewis, both 5th graders. A typical team can be up to 7 team members, however despite being a small team this year, the FSA DI team won 1st Place in the Technical Team Challenge. They also scored the highest points in every category in the Technical Team Challenge. In addition, the team won 2nd place in the Instant Challenge, spontaneous problem solving. When the trophy and medals were presented to the FSA team by the GA DI Affiliate Director, he commented that anything is possible in DI and he used the FSA team of two (2) students as an example for achieving great things against all odds.
The year, the Technical Team Challenge was to build a creature that uses technical methods to perform team-chosen actions, presented in a story of an adventure with the creature. Using technical methods, the team also demonstrated features of a world where the story is set.
Congratulations to the team members, their parents and coach, Mrs. Lauren Lewis, for an excellent job done. Special Thanks goes to the FSA administration and Ms. Judge, the school's DI coordinator for their support.
The team will advance to the 2015 DI Global Finals which will be held on May 20th - May 23rd in Knoxville, Tennessee.
