For those who dare to travel to new places!

​

In order to encourage team members to dare to explore, the TVNC region has established an exciting award called the Magellan Award.

​

This award recognizes those kids who, over the years, have completed solutions to challenges in each of the 6 categories.  Named after Ferdinand Magellan, the first person credited with circumnavigating the globe, it reflects individual students’ efforts to travel to all of the Destinations in DI.

​

This is an individual award, not a team award. Team members may qualify by competing on multiple teams over the years.

 

The different types of challenges are:

• Challenge A - Technical (Ex: Dig In, In the Zone, The Big Fix)

• Challenge B - Scientific (Ex: Going to Extremes, Wind Visible, First Encounter)

• Challenge C - Fine Arts (Ex: Laugh Art Loud, In Disguise, Picture This)

• Challenge D - Improv (Ex: Pandemonium, Change in RealiTee, To The Rescue)

• Challenge E - Engineering (Ex: The Tension Builds, Twist-O-Rama, In The Cards)

• Challenge PO - Service Learning (Ex: Pitch and Play, Reel to Real, It's About Time)

​

The following are the rules for qualifying for the Magellan Award:

• Only challenge solutions presented at TVNC regional tournaments qualify. Students do not receive credit for solutions in other regions.

• The current year’s challenges may be included as qualifying challenges, but the team member’s team must participate at this year’s regional tournament to receive the award.

• The application must be submitted by the deadline published at www.tvncdi.org.

• Multiple challenge solutions per year are allowed, however it no team member will be allowed to credit more than 2 challenges toward the Magellan in a single year.

• Qualifying challenge solutions may be submitted at the EL, ML and SL levels. Rising Stars and UL challenge solutions do not qualify.
