What is Destination Imagination (DI)?Destination ImagiNation is a worldwide creative, problem-solving STEAM competition for kids. Teams of up to 7 members work together to use creativity and critical thinking skills to solve challenges without assistance from adults or any other non-team members. Students develop leadership, performing, writing, technical, building and teamwork skills as they develop creative solutions! The team chooses one of six Team Challenges to solve throughout the season. The team then presents their solution at a regional tournament and your team may advance to the State tournament! Each Team Challenge is designed to be open-ended and solvable in many ways and on many levels.
Challenge A: Technical Challenge D: Improvisation Challenge B: Scientific Challenge E: Engineering Challenge C: Fine Arts Challenge F: Service Learning |
In this video, hear from some of our volunteers on why being a Team Manager is so important for kids and such a valuable experience for adults.

Team Managers Needed for Next Year!No prior experience is needed!
Team Managers attend a training session given by the DI Coordinator, a training given by the local DI board of directors and receive amazing materials from DI! There are also workshops for your team to help them build their skills. TMs act as facilitators to the team, making sure the kids are making progress in solving the challenge and preparing for the tournament. Remember, TMs don’t solve the challenge, the kids do! TMs facilitate team meetings and also prepare Instant Challenges for the kids to practice at team meetings. It can be helpful to have two TMs for a team, or a TM and an Assistant TM. As a TM, you'll have the opportunity to teach real-world, life-long skills to your team. You'll have the satisfaction of watching kids come together to create a unique solution that they can be proud of. And, they’ll rub off on you, as you become more creative as well!
