Help Team RAD go to DI Globals!!

Donation protected
Team RAD has been together since kindergarten creatively solving problems. This committed group of 4th graders recently won first place at the Texas state DI competition and are now invited to the Global Tournament in Knoxville Tn to compete against some of the best creative problem solving teams in the world! They need help! The minimum registration requirement for the four day event will cost $4795 for team and manager accommodations for this incredible journey! These kids have proven to be calm under pressure and never give up. 

Destination Imagination has had a positive impact on more than 1.5 million young people and adults who have benefitted from taking part in its acclaimed Challenge Program. This year, another 100,000 young people have competed in tournaments throughout the U.S. and in 30 countries to earn a spot at the Global Finals competition in May.

Team RAD is among more than 8,000 students representing more than 1,250 teams that will advance to Global Finals, which will be held at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville May 22-26.

"The Destination Imagination Program allows students K-College to learn and experience the creative process. Quantitative reasoning, problem solving, risk taking, collaboration, presentations and thinking on your feet are some of the important skills learned in the program," said Chuck Cadle, CEO.

This year, National Geographic's world renowned author and photographer, Joel Sartore, will be addressing the participants at the Global Finals Opening Ceremony. This year's Global Finals Innovation Expo will house engaging exhibits from NASA, Michigan Tech's Mindtrekkers, 3M and many other innovative companies. In addition, participants will have a chance to explore the depths of our planet's oceans and learn about environmental conservation through the 3M-sponsored, interactive "Explore the Uncharted" exhibit.

Destination Imagination is an educational program where student teams are immersed in the creative process needed to solve open-ended challenges, and then present their solutions at regional and state tournaments. If they win at those levels, they may receive an invitation to Global Finals.

"The DI competition requires students to work through some very demanding critical thinking and problem solving assignments that strengthen our educational systems by enhancing the learning processes taking place in the classroom," declared Cadle. "We've seen the development of superior aptitudes in analytical thinking, leadership, project management, teamwork, communication, research and innovation in hundreds of thousands of youth since our organization's inception almost three decades ago, and we believe Destination Imagination has the potential to bridge the gap between what is taught in our schools and the thinking skills our youth will need to succeed in the world of the future."

Destination Imagination, Inc. dedicates itself to enriching the global community by providing opportunities for learners of all ages to explore and discover using the creative process from imagination to innovation.
