Destination ImagiNation is an exciting way for students to:
- explore and discover creative potential through teamwork, cooperation and mutual respect.
- build complex creative problem solving skills
- use art, technology, performance to tackle one of the five competitive or one non-competitive Team Challenges.
- take ownership and pride in what they accomplish because they do everything themselves, from beginning to end.
- present their Challenge solution in a competition setting.
We make every effort to place all interested students on teams but can only place them on teams if we have parent volunteers who will be team managers. A team typically consists of 7 students and a team manager who meet an hour weekly, November through March.
On October 11 at 5:30 we will meet in the auditorium to learn more about DI and to form our teams. If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like to be part of DI, then contact Jenny Spampinato at 720.424.5948 or jenny_spampinato@dpsk12.org. Plenty of training and support will be available for those who volunteer.
