BC Original Minds - Celebrating 25 Years of Creative Problem Solving

Some call Destination ImagiNation (DI) 'Creativity 101'; others describe it as thinking outside the box. However you describe Destination ImagiNation, it is still the world's largest non-profit, volunteer-based creative problem solving program for young and old alike.

DI gives everyone a chance to expand on the skills and knowledge they learn in school, but in a non-traditional way. Modeled on a competition, teams of up to seven participants solve challenges that even adults sometimes find intimidating.

DI teams work together during the school year to solve one of five team challenges, and then participate in a Regional Tournament where their solution is judged against set criteria by a team of trained Appraisers. This, combined with an improvisation component (like on TV’s Who’s Line Is It Anyway) makes for an exciting, fun-filled and safe addition to formal classroom learning.
