Imagine That!

Montana teams will head to Dillon on April 2, to compete in the Montana Destination Imagination Affiliate Finals. Teams of students from Early Learners to High School will have worked for the past three to five months to create unique solutions to this year's Destination Imagination mind-bending Challenges in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), fine arts and service learning.

Destination Imagination creates the Challenges to call on student skills and talents in many areas, including scientific understanding, theatrical performance, technical prowess, improvisation, and structural engineering. DI teams have spent weeks perfecting their Challenge solutions, and their presentations typically are bursting with distinctive creativity and innovation. The event is open to the public, and visitors and media are encouraged to attend.
