Corprew Students Competes in Mesquite
4th grade students at Corprew are working hard preparing for
competition at a Regional tournament for DI (Destination
Imagination), the world’s largest creative problem solving program.
The competiition is March 1st in Mesquite, Texas. Destination
ImagiNation is a place where kids take what they know and what they
are good at and learn to apply it to solve challenges, working
together and cooperatively with a team and pushing the limits of
imagination to best not their competition, but themselves.
Destination ImagiNation is a community-based, school-friendly
program that builds participants' creativity, problem solving, and
teamwork in enjoyable and meaningful ways. Teams of five to seven
members work together to apply creativity, critical thinking and
their particular talents to solve a Team Challenge. The Destination
ImagiNation Instant Challenge is a Challenge teams are asked to
solve in a very short period of time at their Tournament, without
knowing ahead of time what the Challenge will be. Teams go into a
room and are given a Challenge and the materials with which to
solve it. They use their thinking-on-their-feet skills to produce a
solution, usually in a period of five to eight minutes!
The Destination ImagiNation Team Challenge is a Challenge that is
solved over a period of eight weeks or more. There are five
competitive Team Challenges from which teams may choose, each with
its own educational focus. Each Team Challenge is designed to be
open-ended and solvable in many ways and on many levels. Good Luck
to Corprew Students!!
