OVERVIEW
Destination Imagination: The Challenge Experience
Students (K-12) work together and cooperatively, with a team of 2 to 7 members, to solve one of the seven Team Challenges. Each challenge has its own educational focus. Each Team Challenge is designed to be open-ended and solvable in many ways and on many levels. After weeks spent creating, developing and practicing their solutions, teams showcase their work at the tournament.
What Does a Destination Imagination Challenge Solution Look Like?
Team Pollentics from California explains their solution to the Scientific Challenge, building an amusement park attraction that uses scientific concepts during its operation. The challenge also required the team to tell a story of the attraction operating in an unusual location. This is a great video to see how experienced DI teams explain their solution!
