Destination Imagination

We Teach the Creative Process

Destination Imagination (DI) is a non-profit, cause-driven organization. Its purpose is to ignite the power of ALL youth to be the creative and collaborative innovators of tomorrow. MMSA is licensed to administer DI's Challenge Experience to students across the state of Maine.

Annually, we offer seven new standards-based Challenges in STEM, Improv, Visual Arts, Service Learning, and Early Learning. Each Challenge enables student teams to learn and experience the creative process from imagination to innovation.
