Do you want to have fun and be part of a team?
Do you like to create new things? Build or design? Paint or draw? Act or improvise? Write or compose? Do you look at things differently than others around you? Enjoy being part of a team? Looking for something cool?
If the answer is yes to these questions, then you would enjoy Destination ImagiNation®. DI is for anyone who likes to be creative in one way or another. It doesn’t matter whether you get all A’s in school or even high scores on tests! Anyone can participate in DI if they are willing to work hard with fellow teammates!
WHAT IS DESTINATION IMAGINATION?
Destination ImagiNation (or DI for short), is a rather unique opportunity for kids to use their creativity and work together to solve a challenge. A team of up to 7 students will work on a solution to a Rising Stars! Challenge for younger kids in kindergarten through 2nd grade.
In March, teams will take their solutions to a local affiliate tournament where they will showcase their creativity, see how others solved the same Challenge, celebrate their accomplishments and really have FUN!
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE ON A DI TEAM?
You must be committed! DI will be a lot of FUN, but it will also take some time.
However, if you have at least one free afternoon per week or some weekend time, you probably can fit it in.
Below is a rough idea of the time commitment you would need to make:
- November – January -- one meeting per week
- February – at least 1-maybe 2 sessions per week
- March-- the Affiliate Tournament is in March-- plan on lots of meetings to get ready!You MUST come to scheduled meetings! You are part of a TEAM and they are depending on YOU!Sound like FUN? DI is starting at YOUR school for 2nd graders, so tell your Mom or Dad that you want to find out more about DI, and have them email your school coordinators! Next, attend a meeting about DI!
