Join a community where using your IMAGINATION and CREATIVITY is encouraged and celebrated!
The Destination Imagination (DI) program encourages teams of learners to have fun, take risks, focus and frame challenges while incorporating STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), the arts and service learning.
Have more questions? Looking for a team? Join us for the Troy Creative Minds Information Night on 9/17/19 7:00pm at the Larson Middle School Cafeteria.
The Technical Challenge prompts students to complete tasks by using engineering, research, strategic planning, and related skills.
Our Scientific Challenge blends the curiosity of scientific research with the creative expression of performance art.
Our Fine Arts Challenge helps students develop acting and creative skills through artistic media, theater arts, script writing, and prop design.
Our Engineering Challenge asks students to design, build, and test load-bearing structures created from specific materials.
Our Service Learning Challenge is designed to engage students in public service that addresses real-life community issues.
Our Improvisational Challenge is all about research, spontaneity, and storytelling. Teams receive topics and produce skits right on the spot.
Our Rising Stars for Early Learners Challenge offers simple experiences with the creative process, and it gives young kids (preschool through 2nd grade) a place to work together and make new friends.
Instant Challenges require teams to engage in quick, creative and critical thinking.
In a world with growing cultural connections, increased levels and types of communication, and a new need for real-time teamwork and problem solving, the ability to solve problems quickly is becoming increasingly critical.
At a tournament, a team will receive an Instant Challenge and the materials with which to solve it. The team members must think on their feet by applying appropriate skills to produce a solution in a period of just five to eight minutes.
Instant Challenges are performance-based, task-based, or a combination of the two. Although each Instant Challenge has different requirements, all Instant Challenges reward teams for their teamwork. Instant Challenges are kept confidential through the day of the tournament.
