Do you have special talents and abilities in diverse areas such as creative problem solving or critical thinking? Do you enjoy working hands-on, collaborating with others, and/or role-playing to solve complex problems? If so, come embark on a Destination Imagination journey towards new DestiNations!
Destination Imagination is one of the world's largest creativity and problem solving programs for students of all ages, with thousands of participants in 47 U.S. states and 15 countries. The program draws on the multiple intelligences of students to use what they have learned in the classroom in new and creative ways. With every meet, lifelong skills such as problem solving, teamwork, confidence, brainstorming and presentational skills are developed.
Student teams (usually of 4 - 7 students) solve two types of challenges within the DI school year (about 7 months). The central or main challenge involves structural, technical or theatrical elements, requiring weekly meetings (for about one hour) during the months of September thru March. Throughout this time, the teams also practice improvisational Instant Challenges, which stimulate the team's ability to think quickly and creatively with only minutes to prepare solutions. When tournament time rolls around each team presents their main challenge and responds to an Instant Challenge. The winners of the regional competition advance to State and State winners advance to Nationals!
Remember, this is NOT defined as a Gifted and Talented program. All students are encouraged to participate! Great minds don't necessarily think alike - Destination Imagination needs your unique ideas!
