After months of practice, 19 teams from the Katy Independent School District have qualified to compete at the Texas Destination Imagination Affiliate Tournament held at Lubbock ISD April 7-9.
The Gulf Coast Regional Tournament was held March 4 at Seven Lakes High School. Schools representing the Cy-Fair, Fort Bend, Pasadena, Friendswood and Alvin independent school districts along with area private schools attended the annual event. Approximately 375 teams competed in eight different challenges.
The following Katy ISD schools are preparing to compete against more than 400 teams from districts throughout Texas: Alexander, Griffin, Hayes, Holland, Katy, Stanley, Williams and WoodCreek elementary schools, Beckendorff, Cinco Ranch, Seven Lakes and Tays junior high schools and Katy and Seven Lakes high schools.
The Destination Imagination program “fosters students’ creativity, courage and curiosity” through open-ended academic challenges in the fields of S.T.E.M (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), fine arts and service learning. In Katy ISD, Destination Imagination teams form at participating campuses each September.
