Destination ImagiNation is a program that helps young people build lifelong skills in creative and critical thinking, teamwork, time management, and problem-solving. Teams are given a challenge and they must create a unique solution, which can have a focus that is theatrical, structural, improvisational, scientific, or technical. Teams also learn and practice creative quick-thinking skills for the Instant Challenge portion of the program. More than 200,000 students in nearly 60 countries participate in Destination ImagiNation.
The Destination ImagiNation Global Finals will be held in Kansas City in May. The teams will do some fundraising to help cover costs, and any community support will be welcomed!
