Destination Imagination is a project-based learning program designed to complement K-12 education. Annually, they offer seven new academic Challenges in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), fine arts, service learning, and early learning. In solving a challenge, students learn the creative process from imagination to innovation and the skills needed to thrive in school, their careers and beyond.


Teams often start meeting in October or November and spend approximately 2-4 months planning, designing and building a solution to their Challenge. Teams usually meet at least once a week to work on their solution.


The goal of each Destination Imagination Challenge is teach students 21st century skills that will help them thrive in an ever-changing world. Students learn the creative process and how to take a novel idea and see it all the way through to fruition. They also gain invaluable life and career skills, including creative and critical thinking, collaboration, project management, perseverance, risk taking, budgeting and conflict management.


Many Destination Imagination Affiliates (states/countries) host Regional & Affiliate Tournaments where teams can showcase their creative Challenge solutions. Team solutions are assessed by a panel of trained Appraisers, ranging from educators to artists to engineers. Solutions are scored on a variety of elements, including originality, workmanship, presentation, teamwork and meeting requirements for the Challenge.

DI competitions begin with a Regional Tournament. Teams with the highest scores advance to the Affiliate (state or country) Tournaments. The top-tiered teams from the Affiliate Tournaments advance to Global Finals.
