Interested in the 2010-2011 DI Challenges?  Here they are:

Challenge A – Technical:  Unidentified Moving Object  
A dam breaks, a bridge collapses, the electricity goes out – and the hustle and bustle of the city life comes to a screeching halt.  Few notice our nation’s infrastructure… until something goes wrong!  It will take all your creative powers and construction talents to reach new heights and deliver materials where they’re needed most!

Challenge B – Scientific:  Spinning a Tale
Carousels, Ferris wheels, revolving doors and twirling kids.  It’s enough to make you dizzy!  Boundless energy, endless revolutions, and never starting or stopping at the same place.  Can you write a story that does the same thing?  In a world where the end is the beginning, your team will truly come full circle!

Challenge C – Fine Arts:  Triple Take Road Show
Rock bands, salesmen, authors and politicians all perform on the road.  New settings, new audiences, the same stories.  Now it’s your turn to pack your bags, go on tour and tell your tale!  Your act is sure to be a success, but will it work for an audience of laughing hyenas?  How about for menacing ogres or stuffy diplomats?  On with the show… again and again!

Challenge D – Improvisational:  Mythology Mission
Calling all fearless, daring adventurers:  team up to journey to new lands, stumble across new cultures, and never look back!  But can you survive mythical creatures and come home with mementos of your quest?  Adventure awaits on this exciting Mythology Mission!

Challenge E – Structural:  Verses!  Foiled Again!
Place weights on a structure of foil, glue and wood, and tell us a story – one that’s thoroughly good!  When a character is foiled, what will you do?  Will you laugh, will you triumph, or will you be foiled too?

PROJECTOUTREACH:  DInamic Networks
From smoke signals to blogs and texts, people have used communication tools for hundreds of years to connect to each other.  Now it’s your turn!  Can you unite your community for a cause you care about?  If so, you’ll have the power to change the world!

Rising Stars!  Big Bug’s Bad Day
When Big Bug has a bad day, everyone has a bad day.  All of Big Bug’s friends want to get back to having fun.  Explore their world and find out what’s bothering Big Bug!  Will Big Bug’s Bad Day get better, or will it become an even bigger bummer?  It’s up to you!
