The Destination Imagination global community is united by a core belief that when students have the freedom to grow and collaborate without boundaries, their confidence explodes and the world opens up to them in new ways. We enable this transformation by providing challenges rooted in STEAM subjects that inspire unique solutions through the use of the creative process. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to tell their story, share their unique creations and be celebrated for what they’ve accomplished. Through witnessing this process of creative self-expression and validation, students blossom into more confident and knowledgeable individuals.
In this session, we would like to entice you to join the DI community and to learn the tips and tricks of how to create a successful DI team in your school, community, and district. Still not sold, come and experience a DI challenge and see what the creative magic is all about. There will be an opportunity to win a free NCDI membership for the 2024-2025 season!
