2011 - 2012 Challenges
Destination ImagiNation is an educational program where student teams work on open-ended Challenges and present their solutions at Tournaments. A Challenge is a fun exercise that socially and intellectually engages students by prompting them to use creativity and teamwork to solve a problem. Because everyone is unique, we have developed seven different Team Challenges to unleash every child's potential. As well, each year Destination ImagiNation creates new and exciting Challenges with help from our more than 38,000 volunteers, many of whom are educational professionals.

How do I start a team?
Teams are the foundation of this program. Any group of 2-7 students can form a team.
Most teams are in schools, but anybody can have a team: girl guides, 4-H clubs, homeschool mothers, a neighbourhood of children, community centre..... There is no limit to who can form a team.
Once you have your team, find a team manager. This should be someone who is willing to give students the tools to work as teammates and expand their ideas, while standing back and allowing them to grow, develop and showcase their amazing abilities.
Once you have the students and the team manager, go to http://www.shopdi.org/ and register your team! You will get:
Challenges the challenges for the current DI season
Roadmap 16 week set of plans for a successful DI season
Rules of the Road rules to follow
Once you have your team registered, you can begin! You will be contacted by your local regional director about team manager training, tournaments, and more. Let us know how we can help you have a more successful DI experience!
