The world is rapidly changing. Rapidly becoming the most needed skills are creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and being able to leverage each other’s abilities to drive results, on a budget and a on time. The Destination Imagination program offered both in New Hampshire and globally enable students to gain these skills while having fun! Over 1.5 million people around the world are alumni of the program – once on teams themselves. Many of them return to volunteer to the program, not just in New Hampshire, but around the world.
Destination Imagination Challenges are the prompts and guidelines for what a team creates in competition. Team Challenges are open-ended, allowing teams to express themselves creatively and take full ownership of their solutions. Up to 7 members can be on a team. Each Challenge is developed by a team of educators and industry experts who target a particular curriculum area and its related standards of content and performance.
Challenge focus areas include Technical, Scientific, Engineering, Fine Arts, Improvisational, and Service Learning. All Challenges are multidisciplinary and have a STEAM focus (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math). There is also a non-competitive Early Learning Challenge that allows participants to develop social and problem-solving skills.
