Problem Solving Competition

 

     Destination ImagiNation is a non-profit organization designed to promote creativity, teamwork, and problem solving in students. Participants work in teams to solve challenges and present their solutions at tournaments.  Destination Imagination is offered to students around the word (Kindergarten-College).  If you want to create a team, Mrs. Hawkins is willing to sponsor you.  But, you will have to plan your own meetings, fund your own projects, and supply your own transportation.  The regional team fees have been paid. Challenge previews can be found here.
