Wisconsin Destination Imagination, Inc.

The Wisconsin Destination Imagination program encourages teams of learners to have fun, take risks, focus, and frame challenges while incorporating STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), the arts, and service learning. Our participants learn patience, flexibility, persistence, ethics, respect for others and their ideas, and the collaborative problem solving process. Teams may showcase their solutions at a tournament. Wisconsin Destination Imagination, Inc. is a non-profit that helps kids In the state of Wisconsin discover their creativity. We work with programs that teach the creative process, so kids can solve problems in astonishing ways. Our kids build a lifelong confidence in working together to solve any challenge. Our organization is an affiliate of Destination Imagination Inc which was incorporated in 1999, when they took over the charter for OM Association, Inc. Since then, the DI, Inc. non-profit has impacted more than a million participants. About 125,000 youth make friends and learn the creative process through the programs every year, and 38,000 volunteers support us! Our Challenge program is our most popular offering. At the start of the season, teams choose one of seven Challenges. After weeks spent creating and developing their solutions, they go to a local tournament. Top-scoring teams advance to our WI state tournament. The top level of the tournament is our Global Finals—the world’s largest celebration of creativity.
