DESTINATION IMAGINATION

Our STEAM-based Challenges are designed to prepare kids for the future of work by instilling these skills:

Problem-solving

STEAM-based challenges that students solve in teams.

Creativity

Kids blossom developing ideas that build on what they learn in school.

Communication

Each student has a voice and space to develop unique abilities and talents.

Collaboration

Team members make all the decisions and even manage the budget.

WHAT WE DO

At Destination Imagination, we believe that when an educational experience is hands-on, collaborative and fun, students are empowered to take their learning to the next level and are excited to do so. DI provides unique educational experiences across seven project-based Challenge types–Technical, Scientific, Engineering, Fine Arts, Improvisational, Service Learning, and Early Learning.

New, open-ended Team Challenges are developed annually with the help of educators, subject matter experts and qualified volunteers to cover a wide range of student interests and align to current educational standards. Learn more about the Challenges DI participants are solving this season.

HOW WE DO IT

Problem solving, team building, and a respect for others and their ideas are at the foundation of all of our Challenges.

All of our educational experiences are rooted in Destination Imagination’s creative process.
