Our Impact & Awesome Alumni

Proven Results

Students who participate in DI become better at creative and critical thinking, collaboration, and idea generation.

In 2014, Dr. Mark A. Runco, Professor of Educational Psychology for the Torrance Creativity Center at the University of Georgia and Board Member for the Center for Childhood Creativity, completed a study measuring student engagement and creative attitudes and values among students who participate in Destination Imagination and students who do not.

According to the statistically significant results, Destination Imagination students were found to be:

More engaged and imaginative when completing given tasks

More creative than non-DI participants

More self-confident and tenacious

Able to elaborate on and generate more ideas than non-DI participants

Great collaborators—86% of DI students agree that their teamwork skills improved within 1-2 years of participation

More inquisitive—92% of DI students agree that solutions to problems are often improved by considering a variety of perspective
