W HAT IS DI ?

Suppose you had a box… What could you do with it? Sure you could put things in it, but think bigger. Make something? Like a tower? That’s a little better. How about an objective? How could you make it float? What did you think of, a boat? Why are you floating on water ? Who said the box was cardboard? Who said it wasn’t the size of a house? It’s whatever you want it to be if you think outside of the box. Let’s try floating with a hovercraft

DESTINATION IMAGINATION – WHAT IS IT With DI, the future can be whatever we want it to be. It’s innovating new and unique solutions It’s inventing new ways of thinking It’s teamwork like nothing else It’s creativity on a sugar buzz And it’s growing as a whole--not just as one.

DI is the number one way to teach kids how to develop every skill they’ll need to be successful in life and have fun doing it!

SO WHAT DOES YOUR BOX LOOK LIKE DID YOU MAKE IT INTO A RACE CAR ? DID YOU MAKE IT INTO A WHALE ? HOW ABOUT A DRESS ? DID IT CHANGE YOU INTO A ROBOT ? HOW ABOUT A TOWER OR A TABLE ? DID YOU USE IT TO HELP OTHERS ?

THERE IS A CHALLENGE FOR YOU DID YOU MAKE IT INTO A RACE CAR ? - TECHNICAL DID YOU MAKE IT INTO A WHAT ? - SCIENTIFIC HOW ABOUT A DRESS ? – FINE ARTS DID IT CHANGE YOU INTO A ROBOT ? - IMPROV HOW ABOUT A TOWER OR A TABLE ? - STRUCTURAL DID YOU USE IT TO HELP OTHERS ? – SERVICE LEARNING

The reality of it is, if you had made this box… Into this box………... Anything would have been possible.

DI is an all around skill boosting activity and it teaches so much more than just how to memorize things. At the end of the day, all that is important is that we are moving forward, and thinking outside of the box.
