Challenge A (Ethan's)

Challenge A is to design and build something to move objects to and from towering heights. You have to start and end the presentation with the objects inside the storage box. You also have to create a sales pitch highlighting the key points of your equipment to move the objects. No AC or electrical power is allowed to be used in this challenge.

The video is in the first post. The 14 minute long video. I think.

Challenge B: Ties scientific exploration into theatre arts


Challenge B Example 2010/2011 (Spinning a Tale):

• Research Energy Cycles in the Natural and/or Physical World
• Develop and present an original three-act Circular Story that demonstrates knowledge about one Energy Cycle of the team’s choice
• Create a DIcycler that changes as the Story progresses and the acts change
• Create a Finale that uses your DIcycler to signal the end of your Presentation

Instant challenges

Instant challenges require teams to engage in quick, creative and critical thinking.
At a tournament, a team will recieve an instant challenge and the materials with which to solve it. The team members must think quickly and efficiently by applying skills to produce a solution in a time limit of five to eight minutes. Finishing these challenges helps the team to improve at improvisation.
Instant challenge details are kept confidential until the day of.

Challenge C
Use three different storytelling methods to tell the same story to three team-chosen pretend audiences
Portray the travel methods used to move from one pretend audience to another
Integrate a team-created Technical Spectacle into one presentation to a Pretend audience

Challenge E

Challenge E is an architectural challenge. You need to build a structure made only of glue, aluminum foil, and wood. The challenge is to hold the most weight on the structure built. Also you have to make up a story of a character that is Foiled. The team has to integrate a verse and publish the verse into your story.

A video is already in the first post.

• Challenge D: Improvisation

Challenge D is Improvisation. You will have a list of subjets that will have ti be in the okay and a small time to prepare. The side trips are researching and also you need to use creativity to create props with the material they give you to make an improvisation play. Improv is more about getting props ready before and get the story out of your mind once you started the play.

Here is an example of a challenge D:

• Create a five-minute Improvisational Skit about a Mission involving a Mythical Creature. This must be done in a five-minute Preparation Time prior to your Presentation at the Tournament.
• Incorporate research about a Culture from a country
• Incorporate three Souvenirs randomly selected from the list of items and combine them to create one Master Prop
• Incorporate an Unexpected Problem that is discovered on stage

Focus
Research and Understanding of Cultures, Mythology, Improvisational Acting, Story Development, Theater Arts, Teamwork
