The Montana Affiliate Destination Imagination tournament was a tremendous display of creativity, problem-solving, and fun. Teams found hidden object,  Others ventured into extreme environments protected by team designed gear. Live comic strip shows introduced us to artwork by famous artists. Teams who enjoy acting improvised skits about how characters from the past and the present overcame a Pandemonium. Other teams discovered how to build a structure with wood, glue and fishing line to be tested by pressure and tension. Finally the Rising Stars! teams performed 3 act circuses about balance and geometric shapes. Check out the MTDI Image Gallery and like the Montana Destination Imagination Facebook page to see pictures of this year's teams.

Teams had the opportunity to play the Think Fun Big Games while they waited for the results to be processed.
