2020-21 Programming Update: This year, DI may only offer five Challenges: Technical, Scientific, Fine Arts, Service Learning, and Rising Stars.

Many of you have asked about the possible removal of the Improvisational and Engineering Challenges and have asked how you can submit your feedback to Destination Imagination, Inc.

If you would like to express you thoughts on this potential programming change, please reach out to the following:

Michele-Tuck Ponder, Executive Director
michelep@dihq.org

Johnny Wells, Director of Education
jwells@dihq.org

Louise Liddle, Board of Trustees Chair
lliddle@dihq.org

We look forward to an exciting and creative 2020-21 season.
