Destination Imagination Colorado

Destination Imagination (DI) prepares Colorado’s kids to be the innovators of the future by combining the arts, sciences, and technology with creativity, teamwork, and problem solving. Destination Imagination is a non-profit organization primarily run by volunteers.

The DI experience is wholly unique: ultimate learner ownership, learning through clarifying questions and experiences, resource awareness, rapid ideation and implementation, and authentic self-expression. Our goal is to create a different type of learner: a learner who asks questions, a learner who is in control of their learning, a lifelong learner. State-wide academic tournaments provide teams the opportunity to present their solutions to trained DI Appraisers. Students have fun and gain confidence in their ability to solve and present solutions to any challenge. In working to solve DI Challenges, team members learn 21st century skills (Durable Skills), such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, citizenship, and courage; they step outside of their comfort zones to pursue ideas and present their thoughts, and, they learn to build upon their individual strengths
