Destination Imagination Awareness Night
Cox Families,
How can we get kids excited about learning? Destination Imagination (DI) is a program that encourages the application of creative problem-solving techniques and tools while developing creative and critical thinking skills in the students who are involved.
Destination Imagination is a competition where teams consist of two to seven students. These teams then choose from six challenges which are developed to encourage students to think about the challenge topic, to learn how to research, and to apply what they have learned. DI offers the following types of Team Challenges: Technical, Scientific, Fine Arts, Improvisational, Engineering, or Service-Learning. Teams meet at least once a week after school for six months (Sept – Feb) to solve their challenge. They then present their Team Challenge and Instant Challenge solutions to appraisers on February 22nd at The Woodlands High School.
Tom Cox will have parent-led teams and a limited number of teacher-led teams. All team managers must complete the volunteer application (https://www.conroeisd.net/parents/get-involved/) and be approved as a CISD volunteer. If you are interested in forming a team and being a team manager, please contact Tara Bodin, tbodin@conroeisd.net, 281-465-3206.
If your child is interested in being part of a Destination Imagination team, there is an Destination Imagination Awareness meeting, Tuesday, August 27th from 6:00-7:00 pm at Kaufman Elementary. Kaufman is located at 2760 Northridge Forest, Spring, 77386.
