UPDATE 5/21/13:
(Knoxville, TN) Members of Team New Hampshire started arriving at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville today, just one day before competition starts at Destination Imagination Global Finals.
After a mostly sunny day with temperatures in the upper 80’s, New Hampshire team member checked in, some visited the pools and others stopped by the Luau welcoming the teams. In all, over 1,250 teams from 42 states and 15 countries will be competing in open-ended challenges based in the arts, STEM and of course, creativity.
Wednesday features the opening of many venues, competition starting in the afternoon, and at 7:30PM EDT, Opening Ceremony. Watch Opening Ceremony live at GlobalFinals.org. Then check back for photos here!
In 2013, Destination Imagination grew to over 150,000 students in over 30 countries competing in the same Challenges done here in New Hampshire. The year started with over 300 teams in New Hampshire this year, but only 38 have earned the right to represent New Hampshire at Destination Imagination Global Finals in Knoxville, TN from May 22-25, 2013.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet and learn about different people and cultures in an atmosphere that is unlike anywhere else in the world!
Teams will compete in Challenges that test their problem solving skills and ability to leverage their creativity, communication and collaboration skills. Each Challenge leverages core school subjects PLUS a focus that is based in science, technology, the arts,
improvisational skills, architecture or social-learning. These teams had advanced through competition around New Hampshire earlier in the month. What makes DI unique is that all solutions, including all ideas and construction must be done SOLEY by the team members, and not adults or friends.
Above, a photo of Global Finals opening ceremonies at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. This year, the competition will feature over 1,200 teams from around the US, Canada and the world, including Brazil, the UK, Mexico, China, Korea, Poland and many other countries.
