The Presentation Site

1. Floor surface Destination Imagination strongly
   suggests that the Presentation Site be a large
   space with a hard floor such as wood, linoleum,
   concrete or very short-napped carpet. Teams
   should be prepared to deal with a variety of
   floor surfaces.
2. Site Size The minimum required overall size of
   the Presentation Site is 8ft deep x 20ft wide,
   but teams may use any additional space that
   Tournament Officials designate as available. The
   8ft x 10ft site will not be taped.
3. Electrical Power A single 3-sprong electrical
   outlet will be provided at the edge of each
   Presentation Site for the teams use.

A. Central Challenge - Section 1

• Intent of the Challenge
• To solve this Challenge, the team must research
  and explore how the science of wind energy and
  art can work together.
• The team must present an original Story that
  features an Invisible Visitor who, like the wind,
  sets something in motion.
• The team will integrate its research into the
  Story.
• The team will also create Kinetic Art that is
  started by the wind and integrated into the Story.

A. Central Challenge Section 2

• 2. The Story Imagine what can happen when an
  Invisible Visitor arrives in your Story and sets
  things in motion.
• a. The team will create and present an original
  Story that features an Invisible Visitor. A Story
  is more creative when there is original and novel
  development of the storyline, including the plot
  and the ending. The team will earn points for the
  creativity of the Story.
• b. The team will earn points for clear and
  effective storytelling. This means that the Story
  has a beginning, middle, and an end. It is
  presented in a manner that is easy to follow and
  understand.
• c. There are no restrictions on specific
  settings, time periods or characters in the
  Story.
• d. The team will research the many properties of
  Wind Energy (see definition) and integrate that
  information into the Story. Research information
  may be conveyed through props, scenery, dialogue
  or actions of the characters in the Story or by
  any other means that the team sees fit to use.
  Teams will earn points for creative integration
  of Wind Energy research into the Story.

A. Central Challenge Section 3

• 3. The Invisible Visitor The Invisible Visitor
  is like the wind. It cannot be seen and it has
  the ability to set something in motion.
• a. In this Challenge, the Invisible Visitor must
  be a character in the Story. One or more of the
  other characters in the Story must interact with
  the Invisible Visitor during the Presentation.
• b. The Invisible Visitor must NOT be seen by the
  Appraisers and the audience at any time during
  the Presentation.
• c. The Invisible Visitor must NOT be visibly
  represented by a team member in a costume. A prop
  may indicate the presence of the Invisible
  Visitor, but may not be the Invisible Visitor.
• d. Teams will be allowed to provide dialogue for
  the Invisible Visitor, however, teams will earn
  points if the Invisible Visitors presence can be
  indicated without the use of any spoken or
  written language.

A. Central Challenge Section 3

• e. The Acting Skills (see definition) of the
  other character(s) and the use of Stagecraft (see
  definition) must convince the Appraisers and the
  audience that there is an Invisible Visitor
  present in the Story.
• f. The team will earn points for the Acting
  Skills used during the Presentation when a
  character or characters interact with the
  Invisible Visitor. The team will also earn points
  for the effective use of Stagecraft in the
  portrayal of the Invisible Visitor.
• g. Just as the wind sets something in motion, so
  too does the Invisible Visitor. The motion caused
  by the Invisible Visitor could be anything from a
  new development in the storyline to a change in
  attitude or an action by one of the other actors.
  The team will earn points for the creativity of
  the motion and its effect on the Story.

A. Central Challenge Section 4

• 4. The Kinetic Art This type of art is all about
  motion. It contains moving parts that create its
  effect. Your team must combine the science of
  Wind Energy with art to create Kinetic Art (see
  definition) and integrate it into the Story.
• a. Only energy from the Wind will cause the
  Kinetic Art to begin moving.
• b. The team must provide their own way to create
  the necessary Wind to start the Kinetic Art. The
  team is advised to refer to Rules of the Road
  regarding safety. The team will earn points for
  the successful use of Wind Energy to start the
  motion of the Kinetic Art.
• c. Once the movement of the Kinetic Art has been
  started by the Wind, some part(s) of it must stay
  in motion for at least 15 consecutive seconds
  during the Presentation. The Kinetic Art must not
  use electrical or battery power that is a part of
  the Art to create or keep it in motion. A team
  member should signal an Appraiser that the scored
  requirement of motion is ready to begin
  otherwise, the Appraiser may miss the beginning
  of the motion. The team will be allowed to make
  as many attempts as necessary to complete the
  required 15 seconds of motion. Teams will earn
  points for successful motion for 15 continuous
  seconds.

23
A. Central Challenge Section 4

  Story. This means that it has a meaningful
  connection to the Story. The team will earn
  points for the integration of the Kinetic Art
  into the Story.
• e. The Kinetic Art must not be the Invisible
  Visitor. (See A.3)
• f. The team will earn points for the quality of
  the appearance and workmanship involved in the
  construction of the Kinetic Art. This score
  includes all and any visual effects of the
  Kinetic Arts motion.
• g. The team will earn points for the Technical
  Design (see definition) and for the Technical
  Innovation (see definition) of the Kinetic Art.
  Scores for Technical Innovation of the Kinetic
  Art will be based on the methods actually used
  during the Presentation.

  item that is required in the Central Challenge
  that is already being evaluated. A Team Choice
  Element MAY be a single unique PART of a required
  item, as long as it can be evaluated as a
  stand-alone item. Both Team Choice Elements may
  be presented at the same time ONLY IF both can be
  easily identified and scored separately. Examples
  of these can be found in Rules of the Road.
• 3. Each Team Choice Element will be evaluated in
  three ways for the Creativity and Originality of
  the Team Choice Element, and for the Quality,
  Workmanship, or Effort that is evident and
  Integration into the Presentation. Evaluation of
  Team Choice Elements is subjective.

27
