Nimitz High Team Shines at Regional Destination Imagination Tournament

Disponible en:

On Saturday, Feb. 23, 128 teams from Humble ISD, Klein ISD, Tomball ISD and Aldine ISD competed in the Regional Destination ImagiNation Tournament held at the Aldine Staff Development Center. This is the event known to inspire students to be creative problem solvers. Sara Ptomey, AISD executive director of curriculum and instruction, organized the regional event.

Teams, composed of anywhere from two to seven students, worked over the past few months on a challenge that required collaboration, problem solving and creativity. At the tournament, students presented their solution to a team of appraisers and competed in an instant challenge as well. Scores from the two challenges were combined to determine placement.

The Nimitz High School team earned second place in the Change Your Reality Challenge. Destiny Coleman, Reagan Burns, Andrea Umanzor, Jazmine Lowery, Shania Spears, and Kierra Hill comprise the team.

All first place teams will advance to the state event and some second place teams will be invited after all the regional tournament results are in from around the state. The state tournament is set for April 12 and 13 in Katy.

Congratulations to the students on their outstanding performance!
