Every Destination Imagination (DI) Challenge Experience team has its own personality—and that's part of what makes it so much fun!

Some students love coming up with wild ideas. Others can't wait to start building, experimenting, or bringing their stories to life. And for some, the best part is simply getting together with their friends each week to create something.

What's your team's favorite part of DI so far this season? 💜🧡

DI supports kids' mental health and well-being ☺️

Can creative problem-solving, teamwork, and a little more independence help support kids' mental health and well-being?

Allison Gleichman, a psychotherapist, parent, and longtime Destination Imagination (DI) Team Manager, offers a unique perspective on that connection.

After managing 14 DI teams over seven years, Allison has seen firsthand how student-led experiences give children opportunities to build confidence, strengthen friendships, navigate disagreements, and learn that things don't always have to be perfect.

In a recent Destination Imagination Colorado article, she draws on her professional expertise and personal experiences to explore how the creativity, collaboration, and independence at the heart of DI can support children's social and emotional development.
