What is Destination ImagiNation ?Destination ImagiNation (DI) is an educational program in which student teams solve open-ended Challenges and present their solutions at a Tournament. DI is designed to teach three essential skills: creativity, teamwork and problem solving.
DI participants are challenged to think on their feet, work as a team and devise original solutions that satisfy the requirements of the Challenges. DI participants gain more than just basic knowledge and skills—they learn to unleash their imaginations and take unique approaches to problem solving. |
Our season is closely tied to the school year, which makes participation an ideal after-school activity. A typical DI team will spend 8 to 16 weeks preparing and rehearsing for their regional Tournament. The highest-placing teams from the regional Tournaments can advance to state/country-level Tournaments, and the highest placing teams from those Tournaments are invited to Global Finals—an event that takes place in late May and brings together teams from across the U.S. and more than 30 countries.

Teams consist of up to 7 members and 1-2 adult team mangers. Teams are made up of kindergarten through college level participants; of course they will only compete against their own age group.
Each team will select one Central Challenge to complete. |
