You've heard of spelling bees, quiz bowls, robotics competitions and science fairs. In fact, there is probably a special event for every subject taught at school. Well, Destination ImagiNation is none of those things – and all of those things! Destination ImagiNation is a place where kids take what they know and what they are good at and learn to apply it to solve challenges, working together and cooperatively with a team and pushing the limits of imagination to best not their competition, but themselves.

"Just Imagine...

a program where your kids build confidence through learning,

a program where discovery is the only teacher,

a program that builds lifelong learning and problem-solving skills.

Teams use art, technology and performance as they tackle one of five Team Challenges. Their Team Challenge solution can take from several weeks to several months to develop.

The teams must do the research and experimentation needed to solve every aspect of the Team Challenge and develop a performance-based presentation demonstrating the team’s solution.

Skill Development:

Teamwork

Cooperation

Collaboration

Time management

Communication

"Destination ImagiNation® participants STAND OUT among our new employees. Their presence, confidence and ability to lead put them YEARS AHEAD of their age and experience. Destination ImagiNation® is making a difference in the high-tech future on a global basis.”

Former IBM Canada director of e-commerce development
