Are you looking for a way to promote creative problem solving? Destination ImagiNation, Inc., the world's largest creative problem solving program, is an exciting team-based program that develops research, creativity, project management, interdisciplinary and life skills as students tackle one of five technical, scientific, and artistic challenges in a performance-based environment. DI gives team members the opportunity to solve a challenge, predict and design an outcome, connect to prior knowledge, and work cooperatively with others, while having fun. 

 

Students form teams of up to seven members. Teams choose to solve one of five Team Challenges, and present their solutions at regional and state tournaments. Each challenge incorporates technical, scientific, artistic, improvisational and performance elements.  Teams also compete in Instant Challenges at each tournament, which test the team’s immediate creative problem solving skills. The year culminates in a global competition in May for those teams that win their state or country tournaments. Badger Schools has competed at the Global level for the past two years!

 

DI celebrates creativity in our global community, and each individual’s unique creative abilities contribute to a team’s accomplishments. DI teams achieve extraordinary things.  Skills in team building, research, project management, risk taking, and presentation have direct applicability to the workplace.  DI participants focus on opportunities rather than problems, approaching challenges by not only thinking outside the box, but revolutionizing the box.  DI participants learn HOW to think, not what to think.
