Destination ImagiNation final results
Congratulations to all the Destination ImagiNation teams that participated this year. Each team dedicated many hours — learning the art of creativity, problem solving, and teamwork. We had more teams participate this year than ever before.
Destination ImagiNation is a unique creative problem solving event where the student teams work together to create a solution that is entirely their own. The team managers merely faciliate the meetings — and cannot provide solutions or input that solves the issue at hand. We celebrate each of these teams accomplishment.

Love DI and want to be more involved? CISD is looking for someone to help coordinate the district efforts to promote DI. If you are interested in lending some help, please contact Julie Madigan.
It has been a year since I coached this team to a winning position (inspired by an initial discussion with Elizabeth Chappell when I had no idea what this was all about).
Not sure whether any Coppell team participated in this year’s competition – would be pretty disappointed if no one had followed in the footsteps of our trailblazing team from last year!
