Destination ImagiNation Final

Destination ImagiNation (DI) is all about using students’ creativity in educational programs. Student teams from across the globe come to participate in DI’s tournaments. In the tournaments, the team members exhibit outside the box thinking by solving open-ended challenges and demonstrating their solution. The challenges can range from acting to scientific and even to building. In one of the six challenges, groups of seven members each work in preparing for the late winter or early spring competition. There are two teams per challenge. Other group challenges involve science competitions, construction, art, music, drama, history, and social issues that have occurred recently.

Every year DI is looking for potential members of all grade levels. As a group of five to seven, you fill out an application. The real tryout is a mock instant challenge where the team has three minutes to answer a prompt, such as a building prompt. Members would then have to utilize the given materials and build the tallest standing tower. Or it could be an acting prompt where the group would then have to use their improvisational skills to create a skit about the given topic. Again, topics like these can vary from news to music to history. Another possibility could be a combination of acting and building. Each year DI accepts ten teams. DI is not offered as a class.

After being accepted, members then come together in teams and work on a specific challenge for the year. Each team participates in a main challenge and an instant challenge. Members are allowed to know the main challenge ahead of time. The instant challenge is quite the opposite. It is given by random to the team on the day of the competition.

On Mar. 3, our very own DI had its regional competition and got second place. Nine of our ten teams qualified for state which will take place on Mar. 31. The nine teams that qualified are: The Magical Grapefruits, 321 Glucose, Victorious Secret, Phenomenon, The Trail Mix Hobs, Dreamline, Esprit de Corps, Fortebate, and PACman. More than 50 people qualified individually for state this year.
DI member junior Tiffany Yue’s team participated in Challenge B “The Solar Stage.” In this challenge, members had to make “a skit with a scenario where people must utilize solar energy to save something. Regionals was really fun.”

Every team’s practice schedule is different. A building team for example could more meetings that improve team. Another challenge featured in the competition was Hold It! This event requires a team to build a wooden structure to hold as many weights it possibly can and a skit is incorporated into the presentation. All the materials are bought by members. Junior Eric Gao and group members spent months in preparation “We met at one of our member’s houses and usually brought all the materials and worked there for [the] entire afternoon.” During the instant challenge, it was given a certain amount of materials, a prompt, and limited amount of time to create something.

“It was really fun.” Freshman Judy Wang explained. “We did the Hold It Challenge [.] Where we not only had to bring a box we constructed out of wood and glue that weighed less than 25 grams[,] and a delivery device that transported golf balls to the box[.] We [also] had to apply our own creative skit to the theme of a delivery device and a box that holds golf balls. Overall, it was a great, educational and exciting experience that challenged our architectural, imaginative, and theatrical skills.”

Congratulations DI for having nine out of ten teams make it to state. Sadly only one of those teams are able to go.
