Destination ImagiNation is a community-based, school-friendly program that builds participants' creativity, problem solving,
and teamwork in enjoyable and meaningful ways.
DI is the world's largest creative problem solving program for kindergarten through college-aged learners, going strong
in 50 states and 40 countries. Teams of up to 7 members solve one of six different Challenges, which they perform in front
of appraisers at tournaments. DI participants develop life skills while solving challenges through their unique hands-on experiences
in the sciences, technology, mechanics, engineering, theater, improvisation, goal setting, time and budget management, team
building, and leadership. Our ultimate goal is to teach participants that through their creativity, teamwork, and perseverance,
they can DIvelop creative solutions to complex problems completely on their ownTeams of five to seven members work together
to apply creativity, critical thinking and their particular talents to solve a Team Challenge.
The Destination ImagiNation Team Challenge is a Challenge that is solved over a period of eight weeks or more. There are
five competitive Team Challenges from which teams may choose, each with its own educational focus. Each Team Challenge is
designed to be open-ended and solvable in many ways and on many levels.
- Challenge A: Technical/Mechanical
- Challenge B: Theater Arts/Science
- Challenge C: Theater Arts/Fine Arts
- Challenge D: Theater Arts/Improvisation
- Challenge E: Structural & Architectural Design
There is also one non-competitive Team Challenge, called the Rising Stars Team Challenge, for preschool and early elementary
children.
