Why

No other club or program is like DI. Students write skits, design sets and costumes, solve engineering problems, and create works of art. We invite you to visit our world, in which the unexpected is expected!

Who

Students of all ages from pre-K through university can join or form a DI team. Teams can include up to 7 students, and will need a Team Manager who is 18 or older. Learn more about managing a DI team.

When

The DI season aligns with the start of the school year. Teams pick a Challenge and work on a solution to present at a tournament in March. Dates and locations, once confirmed, will be in our Calendar of Events.

How

Challenges are released in August, and registration for NH tournaments opens in late September or early October. Teams must register by January 15 to avoid late fees. Learn how to form a team.

Destination Imagination (DI) is a worldwide, volunteer-led nonprofit organization. Our open-ended STEAM Challenges inspire students to imagine and innovate today, so they can become the creative leaders of tomorrow. Students take on the entire creative process from imagination to innovation. They learn vital life and career skills—creative thinking, critical thinking, public speaking, and collaborative problem-solving—that help them to feel empowered and set them up for future success.
