Destination Imagination (DI) is a non-profit, creative problem-solving program, in which teams solve “Challenges” over a period of several months, then, compete by performing their solutions, which are in the form of a presentation with many different elements, ranging from motorized vehicles to costumes made entirely of duct tape. All work is done exclusively by the students and completely far-fetched, creative solutions are encouraged! Because of this wide range of possibilities, DI appeals to students with lots of varied interests, who come out of the program with teamwork and leadership skills, more confidence, and the ability to think on their feet. Mistakes are encouraged because that is how we learn and develop our final solutions.
