| Destination Imagination
Creative Problem Solving Competition |
If there are adequate numbers of parent volunteer coaches, fourth and fifth grade students are encouraged to participate in Destination Imagination, which is an international problem solving organization. In groups of seven, students select a problem and use teamwork skills to solve it creatively.
They research, formulate a response to that problem, and prepare to perform their solution for judges at the regional and state levels. In addition to the long term problem that students work on during after school hours for 5 weeks or more, they are given an instant challenge that they solve on-the-spot.
