What is the value of education? Real education - like hands-on practical problem-solving education. Education that gives you an opportunity to think creatively, apply skills, and build life-long friendships. Can you even put a value on that?
We are the Percy Jackson Pinballers, a team of 3 middle schoolers (Abby, Sully and Max) from Calvert County, that are participating in Destination Imagination - a nationwide STEM competition. Our challenge was to build a hero-themed giant pinball machine that you can actually play - it was so big the "pinball" was a soccer ball! The theme for our pinball machine and skit was a Hero's adventure to change Greek myths. Our ball activates Apollo's sun, rolls down Arachne's web to the bottom of our 2-story machine, and the player rolls it up a hill with a pulley only to have it fall back down and have to roll it up again just like Sisyphus' boulder.
While this experience has been the biggest win for our team, we also placed 3rd at States which means we have the opportunity to participate at the 2024 Globals tournament in Kansas City, MO. Imagine how meaningful this educational opportunity will be for our team! Imagine how amazing you would feel knowing you supported and encouraged us!
Although we're trying to get to Kansas City, it's about the journey, not the Destination. Will you be our Hero and support us in this journey?
