What is Destination Imagination® (DI)?
The Destination Imagination program, which is process-based, provides educational Challenges for students to learn and experience creativity, teamwork and problem solving without adult assistance. The program is open to students from kindergarten through college and university age, teaching young people how to generate creative solutions that result from teamwork, cooperation and risk-taking. Up to 7 participants work together as a team for months to create their unique solution to a Team Challenge, which can have a focus that is technical, scientific, fine arts, improvisational, structural, or service learning-based—or a blend of several disciplines. Solutions vary according to age group, and from team to team. Teams also learn and practice creative quick-thinking skills for the Instant Challenge portion of the program.DIis a program designed to challenge young people to do long-term, creative problem-solving through teamwork. Participants learn unique and critical life skills including teamwork, creative and critical thinking, project management, resource management, mutual respect, research and presentation skills and—as all Challenges must be strictly team-solved—self-reliance. These skills make Destination Imagination participants more valuable to their communities and as future employees.
