Calling All Creative Minds! Destination ImagiNation, Inc. (D.I.) is the world’s largest creativity and problem-solving organization. Students participating on D.I. teams are challenged to learn the process, art and skills associated with creative problem solving. D.I. provides “real world” benefits:
• Fosters creative and critical thinking
• Develops teamwork, collaboration and leadership skills
• Grows research and inquiry skills
• Enhances and applies written communication and oral presentation skills
The D.I. program provides a place where students take what they know and learn to apply it to solve challenges, working together and cooperatively with a team. It’s a place where wild, out-of-the-box thinking is encouraged and set loose! Teams of up to seven members compete against teams from other schools. There are five competitive “Team Challenges” from which teams may choose, each with its own focus (Technical Design, Science, Theatrical, Improvisation, & Structural Building). DI teams form in September and begin the season in October. Regional tournaments take place in March, followed by the State Tournament in April, and Globals in May.
