® Overview What is Destination ImagiNation ® ? Philosophy and goals Who we are (local, state and international volunteers) Program structure Who is eligible A typical year Parents’ roles Reasons to be a Destination ImagiNation ® Team Manager Who we are, why we do it, and why the kids have fun!

® Destination ImagiNation ® is... a non-profit corporation supported by International Affiliates throughout the world who work together to offer the world’s largest kid-powered & team-driven creative problem- solving program...in which the kids have fun, and learn without realizing it!

® Destination ImagiNation ® teaches... Total Team-generated Solution without adult “interference” Creative problem-solving Teamwork to solve a complex challenge No single answer (open-ended Challenges) Balance time, budget, creative ideas Presentation skills All in a supportive environment where all ideas are team-generated so that team members have ownership of the solution.

® Destination ImagiNation ® Program Structure Teams form in the fall (5-7 participants) Throughout the program year, they work as a team to solve a Team Challenge as well as learn the techniques of brainstorming and instant problem- solving through Instant Challenges and the use of Improv items What they learn during this process are the tangible rewards of the program Culmination of their work is showcased at Destination ImagiNation ® tournaments Local and Regional Tournaments, State Tournaments, and Destination ImagiNation ® Global Finals Tournaments are incredible expositions of the team’s creativity

® Instant Challenges teach our kids to think quickly with confidence Instant Challenges teach participants to take what life is handing them moment to moment. These Challenges spark and quickly capture the team members’ wild imaginations by requiring them to solve a challenge quickly and decisively. Destination ImagiNation ® Program - Instant Challenge

® Teams use art, technology and performance as they tackle one of the five Team Challenges. The Team Challenge solution can take from several weeks to several months to develop. The teams must do the research and experimentation needed to solve every aspect of the Team Challenge and develop a performance-based presentation demonstrating the team’s solution. Teams work together to solve complex problems Destination ImagiNation ® Program - Team Challenge

® Ten Reasons to be a Destination ImagiNation ® Team Manager Minimal qualifications (can you spell DI ™ ?). Party conversations become a breeze…you’ll always have an answer to “What’s new with you?” Keeping up with your team keeps you forever young (…or gives your hair those distinguished silver highlights). “Destination ImagiNation ® Team Manager” looks good on resume. “No Interference” rule means “It’s not your job to solve the Challenge”. Team managing expands your shopping horizons… hardware stores take on a whole new look. You have the opportunity to travel with lots of children to exotic locations … by van and bus. Destination ImagiNation ® expands your stockpile of useful junk. Team materials hide nasty scratches on your dining table. Destination ImagiNation ® cures the mid-winter blues. Time flies when you’re having fun! Only with volunteer Team Managers, can there be teams

® Bonus Reasons to be a Destination ImagiNation ® Team Manager Opportunity to teach real-world life-long skills to a bunch of kids you’ll learn to love. The satisfaction of seeing a bunch of disorganized kids come together as a team to create a unique solution that they can be proud of. They’ll rub off on you, and you’ll be more creative as well. You can have a tremendous impact on a great bunch of kids
