Local Team Compete at D.I. State Finals Saturday
State Teams Compete to Advance to Global Finals

It’s where creativity, teamwork and innovation meets STEAM-based problem solving for student teams – and for gnome_facing_logosome, it leads to a Global stage.

This Saturday at Nashua High School North, these teams will try and advance to Destination Imagination Global Finals, to compete with the best teams from 15 countries and 48 states.

After advancing through regional competition, and besting over 200 teams, these teams will compete in challenges focused in technology, science, fine arts, improvisation, structure or service entrepreneurship.

Top-scoring teams in their selected Challenge and age group will advance to compete at Global Finals at the University of Tennessee from May 25-28, 2016 – and will go into instant fundraising mode to represent New Hampshire at the world’s largest event of its type.

Unlike many programs, the students teams of up to seven students are responsible for solving all aspects of the challenge, from planning and time schedule to idea generation and construction. Over 3,000 students from over 200 schools and community groups had teams participated in New Hampshire Destination Imagination this year.
