Destination Imagination (DI) is an educational program that teaches skills like creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork through different competitive, STEAM-based (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) challenges. We are excited to announce that, this year, one of our local teams will be moving on to compete at Global Finals in Kansas City, Missouri! Global Finals is an international competition where teams from around the world gather to showcase their solutions, as well as to learn from and be inspired by each other.

Teams that attend Global Finals are responsible for their own fundraising to cover their costs (registration fee, travel, room and board, getting props transported, etc). It’s expensive to go, but these kids have been working hard all year and can’t wait to compete on a global stage. We would greatly appreciate anything you can contribute to support the teams as they travel to Kansas City in May!

119-85589 – SL – The Shifty Shifty People (Technical)

We are a team of 9th and 10th graders that have been doing DI for 2-9 years. For the technical challenge this year, we created a game show that reimagined how Destination Imagination itself came to be. We invented an air-pressurized launcher with a one-way valve and release mechanism, and also designed a billboard-style rules display with individually rotating triangles that used a custom-designed set of 3D printed components. We created a hat and a jacket with programmable LEDs that light up during different parts of the game show. The three different games played in the game show highlight 3 types of DI challenges, and the ending showcases the theme of teamwork that is one of DI’s most important life skills.
