Is there anyone who participated in WIDI at Illinois state last year? If so, do you remember what types of materials were used? Thanks!

Last year we had to make a collage of cups, plates, thumb tacks, folding sticky notes, and spoons/forks. But the year before that they had to make a prism out of clay.

Wow, clay? So the doer was just given a lump of clay and had to sculpt the prism?

I think so. I didn't do WIDI that year but a friend of mine did. So I think that is how it went, the writer sees a prism and has to describe it and how to make it, then the builder is given the instructions and a block of clay. Basically, they can give us anything and we have to work with it

Supposedly, but the judges sometimes tell you that you can (or, like at invitationals, there is absolutely no way you can tell how it was built unless you pick it up and examine part of it)

Last year at state we were allowed to pick it up but this year at Regionals we weren't. It's up to the people who are hosting it.

can anyone tell me if they recall what nationals C div. write it do its have been in recent years?

What materials do you think they will give at nationals?
Do you think there will be like aobut 40 materials at nationals?
What else is there to practice for nationals...materials wise?
Any tips?
