Eureka teams qualify for global competition
Two creative problem-solving teams from Eureka qualified for
global finals after winning events at the state Destination
ImagiNation tournament last weekend in Bozeman.
Teams from Chrysalis School, a girls’ therapeutic boarding school
outside Eureka, took first place in two events at the state
tournament.
More than 100 students on 23 teams from across the state
participated in the meet, most of them at the elementary and middle
school levels.
Both Chrysalis teams competed at the secondary level.
“The Righteous Harmonious Fists” took first place in the Triple
Take Road Show.
In that event, teams created a story that they told three different
ways to three imaginary audiences. Between each story, the teams
“traveled” to the next audience.
Teams had to include a technical spectacle in one of their
performances.
“The Cultural Revolutionaries” won the Mythology Mission event, in
which teams had five minutes to create an improvised skit about a
mythological creature, the culture from which it originated and the
country it represented.
The skit included team-created souvenirs and an unexpected
problem.
The teams now qualify for the Destination ImagiNation Global Finals
May 25 through 28 in Knoxville, Tenn.
