Welcome to DI British Columbia

Experts around the world agree that a country’s ability to innovate will be one of the key determinants of success in the 21st century economy. Being a world-class problem solver and innovator is going to help future generations of kids achieve success.

Where can they learn, develop and hone these incredibly important and strategic skills?

The answer is Destination ImagiNation®, or DI for short!

DI teaches innovation, creativity, problem solving, communication, leadership and teamwork skill development all at once. Some call DI ‘Creativity 101’, while others describe it as the ‘outside the box’ program. However you describe Destination ImagiNation, it is still the world’s largest non-profit, volunteer-based creative problem solving program for young people K-12. (and p.s…the kids love it…it’s FUN!!!)

DI gives everyone a chance to expand on the skills and knowledge they learn in school, but in a non-traditional way. Modeled on a competition, teams of up to seven kids solve challenges that even adults often find intimidating.

Thousands of students from every region of the province participate in DI programs each year, supported by 100’s of dedicated and caring volunteers in youth centres and educational facilities.
