DI "Interest Meeting"

November 14, 2019 3:15 PM

Destination Imagination (DI) After School Club “Interest Meetings” are scheduled for Thursday, November 14^th at 3:15pm @ the Seabury Middle School Campus (for a MD team) and on Monday, November 18^th at 3:15pm @ the Seabury Lower School Campus (for a LS team)

Destination Imagination (DI) is a global educational nonprofit dedicated to inspiring the next generation of innovators, leaders and creative problem solvers. We are looking for at least two parent volunteers to co-lead and manage a Seabury team and at least 1 additional volunteer!  This program is for students in the 3^rd – 8^th grades. The club would need to start meeting for 1-day a week afterschool (3:30-5:00pm) starting in mid-November. The club will run through late February which would be the regional tournament.

DI programs are designed to foster creativity and curiosity through a fun, hands-on learning experience.  DI’s most popular program is the “Team Challenge” program, where kids work together in teams to solve one of seven different Challenges: Technical, Scientific, Fine Arts, Improv, Engineering, Service Learning or Early Learning. Students also have the opportunity to showcase their solution to the Challenge at a local tournament. Through solving a DI Challenge, kids learn invaluable life skills as they navigate the creative process—a powerful learning tool that teaches them how to think, not what to think. This first “interest meeting” is for both parents and students who are interested in participating.
