• Destination Imagination (DI) Program Information:

    At current, teams are meeting at the following campuses for the 19-20 school year: Willis HS and Turner Elementary.

    DI is a student-driven, cross-curricular, competitive, creative problem-solving program available on campuses to students in grades 3-12. Availability and number of teams per campus is based on volunteer staff member sponsorship as team manager, and team size is limited by the Destination Imagination organization to a max of 7 students per team.

    Teams meet one to two days per week on campus with a team manager (staff member) as a volunteer group facilitator to work on both team building activities, team instant challenges, Improv theater, and skill-building, research/practice for competitions. As time gets closer to regional competition (Feb. 15, 2020), teams often meet more frequently and for a longer duration.

    We welcome parents as skills mentors or team volunteers, so if you have a passion for engineering, construction, theater, art, sewing, construction, power tool use, or any special skill and would like to help, please let your campuses DI Team Manager know ASAP.
