The Destination: Where This Challenge Will Take You!
Truly experiencing another culture requires every sense – to really appreciate how others live, you must see, feel, hear, taste and smell what makes their lives different from yours. In this Challenge, you’ll zoom around the world experiencing International Traditions in a matter of nanoseconds. At one moment you may taste the tang of sauce currie in France, and then in the next moment you hear traditional throat singing in Tuva. Poof! You touch the mysteries of ancient Egypt. Let your senses guide you through a world of Traditions.

Ponderosa Jr. High School
137-23475, ML
Oregon
This team “cuddled us up" in Grandma’s lap for a journey through her past. Her super-sized head with many moving parts wowed us with its outstandingly creative use of materials. Her animated expressions helped us share a lifetime of experiences in the traDItions of other lands.

Cobham, UK

Cobham, UK
This team’s risky political and religious humor had us continuously laughing throughout the skit. From the integration of the golf cart as a tank in North Korea’s military parade and then as the Pope mobile in the Vatican, this team’s creativity pleasantly surprised us. The appearance of God in the skit further pushed the envelope and had us laughing in the aisles.

 

The Renaissance Award for outstanding Design, Engineering, Execution, Performance

This award is given for outstanding skill in the areas of engineering, design, or performance.

 

Ele Schs/Grammar School from Warsaw
178-27152, ML
Warsaw, Poland
This team totally captivated the appraisers and audience in a pantomime of emotions involving love and loss. The non-verbal dance portrayal of flames jumping into the sky, sparks flying and smoke billowing upward had the appraisers spellbound and far exceeded our wildest expectations.

El Paso, TX Ysleta
750-24740, SL
El Paso, TX
This team demonstrated that it is indeed a small world as they took us on a DIsney ride through the nations of Mexico, Spain, and China. From hearing the explosions of the Chinese New Year to experiencing a Mexican Quinceañera to feeling the pounding of the Running of the Bulls in Spain, the performance was exploding with vibrant colors, spectacular acting, and left both the team members and appraisers breathless

 

Eden Prairie Community
123-39469, EL
MN
The design and engineering of this team’s totally functional “Global Gardening/Magic Microscope TraDItionator” knocked out this team of Appraisers! First, its three specifically selected seeds grew flowers which introduced each nation’s tradition. Then, the brilliant botanist utilized moving microscope slides, a functioning water can, and a seed transporter to draw us into the team’s imaginations. Finally, the team demonstrated a true comprehension of the challenge through a politically relevant story about national seed banks. They bridged technology and creativity in this challenge, just as we feel they will bridge the values of traDItion with the promise of the future.
