Awarded Renaissance Award in 6th Grade: Awarded to a team at Globals who shows extraordinary amounts of effort and preparation in their solutions or outstanding skill in engineering and design.

DI sparked my growth in STEM and my love for problem solving. With a team of 6 strangers in 4th grade, I learned all types of mechanical and theatrical skills that brought our team to 2 victories at the international level. We also learned how to think creatively and work as a team. Each year, our skit turned a very deep topic such as individuality and mental health and turned it into a touching skit that wowed our audiences. We also gathered our community around our internationally ranked team and started a Mental Health Movement called Hands4Help to break the stigma in our small town.
