Wayzata Destination Imagination is a world-wide creative problem solving competition for students in grades K-12. Teams of six to seven members work together to use creativity and critical thinking skills to solve challenges without assistance from adults or any other non-team members. Students develop leadership, performing, writing, technical, building and teamwork skills as they develop creative solutions. The team chooses one out of five Team Challenges to solve over a 12- to 16-week period and they present their solution at a regional tournament. The team also solves an Instant Challenge at the tournament. Each Team Challenge is designed to be open-ended and solvable in many ways and on many levels.It is the responsibility of parents and students to be proactive in forming teams. Each team must have at least one adult Team Manager; team managers are usually parents of team members.
