Today's #ApolloSwagSighting comes from this great group of kids from Kennewick who competed in a DI Competition in Kansas City, MO! DI is a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) based program with teams made up of elementary school, middle school, high school or college aged kids from around the world. Each year teams are given a list of problems that focus on specific STEAM elements and the team members, without direct involvement of parents or team leaders, come up with a solution to that problem and fine tune that solution over a 6 month period.The Inteligente Lobos are a team made up of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students from Fuerza Elementary in Kennewick, WA. Despite this being the first year in DI for most of their team, the Lobos advanced all the way through district and state competitions and and by finishing 2nd at state, secured a spot at the Global Finals in Kansas City, MO. While the Lobos didn’t end up winning they did an awesome job and created strong bonds with their teammates while developing skills that will help them for the rest of their lives.

After doing some research, when it came time to decide between several offers, it was clear that Apollo was the best fit.
