Destination Imagination: Information Meetings, Sept. 16 & 18

Events, Opportunities

Last year, 80 students from nine different Newton Public Schools participated in Regional and State competitions sponsored by Destination Imagination.  Destination Imagination encourages teams of learners (K-12) to have fun, take risks, focus and frame challenges while incorporating STEM, the arts, and service learning.  DI students learn patience, flexibility, persistence, ethics, respect for others and their ideas, and the collaborative problem solving process.  The program is run by volunteers and needs participation from every family.  Teams are formed in October and meet in November, and the Regional Tournament is in early Spring.

Interested parents are invited to two DI Info Nights (6:30-7:30PM):

  • Monday, September 16:  Burr Elementary Cafeteria, 171 Pine Street
  • Wednesday, September 18:  Memorial Spaulding Auditorium, 250 Brookline Street

Print out the registration form and send it in with $125 (or $85 for team co-managers) by September 30 (after which there is a $35 late fee and no guarantee of placement).  Need-based scholarships are available.  For more information, visit newtondi.org or www.madikids.org, or contact Matthew Miller at matthew@newtondi.org.  Or for school-specific information, contact:
