GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS! PARENT MEETING THIS WEEK TO LEARN MORE!
DESTINATION IMAGINATION is an amazing educational program in which student teams solve open-ended Challenges and present their solutions at tournaments. Student teams in five levels (early learning, elementary grades, middle grades, secondary grades and college) select one of seven standards-based Challenges to solve. There are seven academic Challenges: early learning, three STEM , one service learning, one improvisational, and one visual arts Challenge. Each Challenge is designed to engage students to learn 21st century and higher-order thinking skills by teaching them the creative process from imagination to innovation. The program teaches students how to think, not what to think.
Due to COVID-19, this season there is one challenge that is available for teams to solve virtually. Registration deadline for the virtual challenge is Sept. 27, 2021. The challenge will be released Oct. 1st. and teams must upload their challenges to be scored no later than Nov. 10, 2021.
*In person challenges are currently available for an in-person tournament with plans for adapting to a virtual tournament being made as a contingency. Registration of new teams, for in person tournaments, will take place Sept. 23-Oct. 20th.
Attend the Parents ZOOM meeting Sept. 23rd to find out more about Destination Imagination and to register. Click here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTD7JAPK7AlUOpVXDNCYmx8mJo8R11jTNUZLDb01vTAoisoA/viewform to register for the parent meeting and receive the Zoom link.
