Students in grades 4-8 at First Baptist Church School have the opportunity to enrich their creative thinking and problem solving skills through the Destination Imagination program. Destination Imagination is an international creative problem solving competition for students from Kindergarten through college. Teams of five to seven children brainstorm possible solutions to open-ended verbal and technical problems, and develop original solutions. Participants write plays, music, and songs; make costumes, backdrops, and props; design and build mechanical devices; and present their solutions within six to ten minute time periods. Participants learn to be innovative and creative, and their educations are enhanced far beyond the classroom through involvement in this program. |
