"Destination Imagination (DI) has been recommended by my supervisor for use with gifted students. I teach gifted students at two Title 1 elementary schools.
DI MISSION
To engage participants in project-based challenges that are designed to build confidence and develop extraordinary creativity, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills
DI PRINCIPLES
*Fun learning: Explore STEM/STEAM concepts in a hands-on environment
*Creative problem solving: Learn how to think, not what to think
Kid powered; team driven: Energize students to own all decisions, creations, and results
*Friendly competition: Motivate teams to reach for the stars, while also rooting for each other
*Global diversity: Encourage and celebrate differences in each other, and differences in ideas."
