TESTIMONIALS

“I have been involved in Destination Imagination for as long as I can remember. I was first on a team in Kindergarten. Destination Imagination allowed me to learn a plethora of different skills — teamwork, creativity, leadership, risk taking and problem solving.”

“DI has been part of our family for almost a decade. From little kindergarten rising stars to resilient and independent middle schoolers, our kids learn to work under pressure, speak in public, compromise, and take risks. We've had teams travel to Global Finals and meet kids from Poland, Saudi Arabia, Guatemala, the UK, and Brazil.”

“When I joined DI in the 6th grade a new world and vision of learning opened up for me. I became enamored and inspired by the creative outlet DI provided. Instead of pursuing perfection, I searched for innovation. I participated 7 years as a student and 7 years as a volunteer.”

“In my professional career and on my personal time I have made a study of the qualities common to high functioning teams: Communication, Trust, Shared Vision, Mutual Accountability, Creativity, and Mutual Respect. Working with Destination Imagination inspires me because I get to see these exact skills under development.”

“I began as a Team Manager for my daughter's 2nd grade team. Nine years as a team parent, then I switched to the organizational side. I've spent a decade as a structure and engineering challenge appraiser. I admit to getting a real rush from the sudden crack and crash of a stack of weights crushing a structure.”

“My friend Aidan used to be a very quiet kid who barely talked to anyone. Through DI, he transformed into a confident, talkative leader. Now in my 11th year competing, I'm part of the Teen Advisory Board. I founded and run the Materials Equity Program for DI Colorado.”
