Upon Reading this posts title you might already know what destination imagination is, but to start off this post I’m going to explain what it is for the people who don’t. Destination imagination is a global educational nonprofit dedicated to inspiring the next generation of inventors, leaders and creative problem solvers. Here’s more about destination imagination!
Destination imagination, or DI, requires a lot of team work, communication, Confidence and critical thinking. For my first DI, I was given a project which consisted of questions I had to answer and complete with a team. In this DI tournament there were four projects that you could pick from to finish, these were next level technical, in theory scientific, built to last engineering and epic remix fine arts. With these my teachers gave everyone a chance to tell them which project they wanted to do. I picked engineering. I chose that topic because I new I would be building something for the project and thought it would be fun. Before we were told what group we were in, our teachers told us that DI would be fun but hard and stressful. And they were right.
When we started the project it was mostly just looking at the rules of DI and making plans for the project. We learned that the main part of our projected was that we had to make a building that had to have a purpose and, in the end, be a physical model. We also had to have a story that relates to the building and film it (if you already know about DI, then you know that usually we would have to preform our story live, but because if COVID restrictions this is not allowed). We decided to make a community centre with postmodernism style architecture and renaissance style interior.
Here’s some pictures of our finished model!
Throughout the project we had to do instant challenges, which is basically like a challenge that you have to complete in a very limited time and then present it. Those were hard but fun.
Near the end of DI there was a little more stress to get everything finished but we got it all done and now its over. I probably wouldn’t do DI again, just my personal opinion, but sense this is PLP i probably am going to do it again. its got me wondering what going to happen next time but sense I’ve already done it once I will be more prepared the next time.
here is our finished video. It’s about old people in Oregon that hate all of the community centres there so they decided to make there own, but they run into a few generational problems along the way.
We also did a Q&A video about the project process.
See you next time.
