Update, May 22 - "Our past represents our future",
said the spider to the fly. In fact these spiders have a lot to
tell us about all linds of webs.

With
a solid performance wrapped around solid construction and engineering,
their feather-light structure was DIlightful, and the team is happy
to have succeeded at a well rounded solution!
The
web of life, a very DIrect reference to how we are all ConnecDId!
The performance had a hungry spiDIr (Emily) against two innocent
looking, very DIgestable flies (Nicholas and Michael ).
The flies try to convince the spider to spare them as they journey
through time and around the world DIscussing how we are all ConnecDId
to each other in multiple ways, like the threads on the web.

Supporting
players (Brittany and Amanda) provide the enchanting chorus and
special effects that bring each episode of the journey to life.
The ConnecDId structure crew (Monica and Monique ) try to convince
the balsa creation to hold just a few more pounds. The tubular inspiration
of Nicholas was brought to life by Michael , Monica , and Emily
after a lot of chips, dip, juice, soda, popcorn, cutting, twisting,
bending, snapping and drilling.
When
you get all the pieces to fit together and gingerly place the weights
on top, you will find that a 12 gram structure held 565 pounds before
going kerplop!

Emily, Amanda,
Monica, Monique, Brittany, Michael and Nicholas are one of two St.Patrick's
schools going to Global Finals. (Click for information on the elementary
level team).
What skills
made this team a world class team? As the team members and they'll tell
you everything from "Thinking on my feet", and "How different
people connect" to "learning more about history" and "patience".
Many are
looking forward to flying for the first time while learning more about
other countries from the teams participating from around the world.
Information will be updated as available about this team from Global Finals.
