ABOUT DI COLORADO
Inspiring creativity and problem-solving in students across Colorado
WHAT IS DI?
WHAT IS DESTINATION IMAGINATION?
Destination Imagination is the world's largest creative problem-solving program for students of all ages. Teams of up to 7 members work together to solve open-ended challenges that build STEAM skills, creativity, teamwork, and confidence.
What makes DI unique is "Interference-Free" - team members must create their solutions on their own without outside help, building real problem-solving skills they'll use for life.
