9th Place for Hopkinton Middle School!
Our 7th grade team placed in the top 10 in the world! Congratulations Patrick, Aren, Neal, Austin, Niha, Izzy, and Eva!!!!!
We're at the Closing Ceremonies
The Closing Ceremonies are underway in Knoxville. Watch live at http://ditv.globalfinals.org
Walking Around the Expo
At the Knoxville Convention Center, DI Globals has their Innovation Expo. Here you can explore the exhibits, conduct some weird science experiments, and learn from organizations such as National Geographic, NASA, US Space & Rocket Center, 3M, Datawind, Scholastic and Synaptic Design.
In this quick video, Austin is shooting a Vortex Cannon. Pretty cool. http://youtu.be/GTI7GF8r0E8
What can you make with liquid nitrogen?
You can make ice cream!
And you can freeze graham crackers with an unexpected result (watch Patrick's face) in this quick funny video! http://youtu.be/UEMW7_-Nflo
The kids also had a chance to participate in the 3M Duct Tape Bus challenge. If the participants at Global Finals duct tape an entire bus, 3M will donate school supplies to local children. How could we not take that challenge?

Movie Under The Stars
Last night DI Global Finals held their Movie Under the Stars night in Worlds Fair Park. We were treated to an advanced screening of James Cameron's Deep Sea Challenge, a National Geographic documentary about extreme exploration at the Earth's deepest known point in the Mariana Trench between Australia and China. The film will be released on August 8th, and we're sworn to secrecy. We can tell you that it was a great film!
To rev the clouds up before the film, there was a lot of awesome music and dancing. Check out a snippet of Aren, Adrina, Patrick and Austin - http://youtu.be/GPoppmU1Qhs
