              Value of Destination Imagination to Students

 

What is Destination Imagination?
DI is an exhilarating educational activity in which students work in teams to solve Challenges and present their solutions at Tournaments.  Teams are tested to think on their feet, work together and devise original solutions that satisfy the requirements of the Challenges.  Participants gain more than just basic  knowledge and skills- they learn to unleash their imaginations and take unique approaches to problem solving.  Annually, 72,000 children in more than 6,000 schools participate in DI.  This year DI expects to have 15,000 teams in 50 states and 30 countries around the world.

How Do I do DI?  
 2009-2010 Challenge Previews!

How can your kids, your classroom, your club, your homeschool, your friends join the fun? It's easy! It starts with purchasing a DI Team Number, and you're off and running. DI Team Challenges and program materials are released annually on September 1. A typical season runs anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks, with most teams organizing between October and January. Team Manager trainings are offered around the state from September through January. Appraiser trainings are held in February and March, and our state tournaments are held in the spring.
