Destination Imagination
We are so excited to kick off a new season of Destination Imagination (DI) in the Muskego Norway School District! DI is an international program that allows kids of all ages to be involved in creative problem-solving. If you participate in DI, you will join a small team with other students from your building to solve an open-ended problem, or “challenge,” and then present your solution at a tournament.
**Would your child like to be involved in DI? Before nominating your child, please consider if your child has any of the following criteria:
motivated learner
likes challenges
creative thinker
enjoys expressing self orally
likes to write creatively
likes to draw and make things
**Would you consider being a coach (team manager) and spending more time with your child?
As a coach, your role is to give direction, not to solve the actual problem. The students are to solve the problem as a team.
You will organize meeting dates and times for team of students to work on the problem in person after school hours or on the weekends.
