The RCES DI team won the state championship on April 2 and heads to Tennessee for the Global Finals next month.

Rachel Carson Elementary School’s (RCES) Destination ImagiNation (DI) team will be traveling to the University of Tennessee for the global finals the weekend of May 25 – 28 after winning the Maryland state championship on April 2.

According to its website, DI is the world’s largest creative problem solving program for kindergarten through college-aged learners. Teams of up to seven members solve one of six different challenges, which they perform at tournaments.

RCES parent Jason Levine helps manage the DI Smile team.

“DI expects 15,000 – 20,000 people to be at [the] Global Finals,” Levine said. “It’s a big deal for the kids and RCES and we are all excited for and proud of them.

Levine said the team is now raising money for the trip to Tennessee. If you would like to make a donation, contact Levine at jalevpb@gmail.com or 240.490.0855.
