Destination Imagination (DI) is an educational program that teaches the creative process to students each year. Students form teams of two to seven members. Each team has an adult Team Manager who helps students stay on track but do not directly help the team develop their solution to the DI Challenge. There are six new DI Challenges to choose from each year. Each of the Challenges is developed by a team of educators and industry experts who target a particular area of the curriculum and its related standards of content and performance. The areas of focus include: Technical, Scientific, Fine Arts, Improvisational, Structural and Service Learning. There is also a noncompetitive Early Learning Challenge for students in grades K-2 that allows kids to build social and problem solving skills. Each season takes place from September through May. Teams typically spend two to four months developing and practicing their Challenge solutions. Tournaments typically take place in the spring. Teams in the program improve in creative thinking, critical thinking, and collaborative problem solving. Participants experience the creative process, develop new friendships, and learn to work together. For more information, ask the office for contact information for the Campus DI Coordinator.
