Saturday's State tournament went really well. It was a long day, but I got to see some really cool ideas, so it was definitely worth it. As I had hoped and suspected, teams that had advanced to State used their time very effectively to improve their performances and I was very happy. Unfortunately, I can't describe any of the solutions in detail, but some of the designs I saw just blew me away. The top two teams from each division and each problem, 30 teams total, get to advance to the World Finals, held this year at Iowa State University in Aimes, Iowa where they will compete against the best teams from other states as well as teams from all over the world. The best of luck to them!
