We are very excited to introduce Destination ImagiNation (DI) to Christ Presbyterian Academy!
DI is an innovative organization that teaches creativity, teamwork and problem solving to students across the United States and in more than 30 countries.
Students in grades 3-5 and in grades 6-8 will form teams of up to seven members to work together on both a central challenge and weekly instant challenges. These challenges are designed to build team skills, divergent critical thinking skills, and creativity. Teams will meet once or twice each week to prepare for the regional competition. This culminating event takes place during the first weekend of March.
During the competition, there are five competitive challenges from which teams choose, each with its own educational focus: theater arts, fine arts, science, technical/mechanical, and structural/architectural design. Teams are tested to think quickly as they work together to devise original solutions that satisfy the requirements of the challenges. Students gain lifelong critical and creative thinking skills as they learn to work together to achieve goals. And, most important, the students have FUN!
