Team Managers Upskill at SNHU

New Hampshire Destination Imagination (NH-DI) Team Managers from around New Hampshire were trained at Southern New Hampshire University on Saturday, October 25. Team Managers are the volunteer adults who facilitate the creative solutions that students, from pre-K through college develop at Destination Imagination tournaments. Training was led by a blend of alumni, adults who were on teams as students, seasoned Appraisers, Team Managers and NH Destination Imagination leadership.

The Team Managers reviewed the rules and best practices, and learned how to facilitate creativity, collaboration and teamwork from their student teams. They also practiced Instant Challenges, a multifaceted Challenge that teams will see in competition (or presentation for non-competitive teams) that help students build their “think of their feet” skills. Team Managers from around the state shared what works best with their teams.

The next Team Manager Training is open for registration, and will be held on the main campus of Southern New Hampshire University on Saturday, November 22.

New Hampshire Destination Imagination (NH-DI) program guides students from kindergarten through college to join a global program with peers in over 30 countries. Teams select one of seven annual STEAM-based or Service Learning Challenges. Through this autonomous, hands-on process, students design, build, and present unique solutions, fully team owned, transforming curiosity into concrete, high-impact results celebrated at
tournaments.
