Destination Imagination - Creative Problem Solving Competition

Information Meetings Sessions

Destination ImagiNation (DI) is the world's largest creative problem solving program for kindergarten through college-aged learners, going strong in 50 states and over 40 countries. Teams of up to 7 members solve one of six different Challenges, which they perform in front of appraisers at tournaments. DI participants develop life skills while solving challenges through their unique hands-on experiences in the sciences, technology, mechanics, engineering, theater, improvisation, goal setting, time and budget management, team building, and leadership. Our ultimate goal is to teach participants that through their creativity, teamwork, and perseverance, they can DIvelop creative solutions to complex problems completely on their own! For more information on all DI's programs, see the DI, Inc. website at www.idodi.org.

Information regarding Destination ImagiNation, its history, membership procedures, this year's challenges, etc. can be found on the DI website at http://www.idodi.org and at the Maryland Creative Problem Solvers, Inc. website http://www.marylanddi.org.  There are new videos available at the idodi website.

If you are interested in learning more about DI, manage a team, or volunteer to judge, please contact Christine Price, Destination Imagination Regional Co-Director Central Region, at di_md_central@yahoo.com, Theresa Jackson, TAG Supervisor, at tjackson@pgcps.org or the TAG Coordinator at the school.
