Destination Imagination is a volunteer-run, international nonprofit that teaches kids about creativity, teamwork, and innovation through open-ended STEAM challenges. Destination Imagination operates in 44 states and 30 countries, and we are proud to be the New York chapter!
We have the great opportunity to have folks run the 2022 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon with us on Sunday, March 20th! Runners who join our team commit to fundraising $1,500 for NYDI, and in return they get free entry to the race, a custom team shirt, and a thank you gift from our local participants. Runners don't have to be affiliated with DI and don't have to be from New York. If you are interested or know anyone who is, we invite you to join us!

Mission Statement
To engage participants in project-based challenges that are designed to build confidence and develop extraordinary creativity, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills. We inspire and equip students to achieve anything they can imagine in life.
Description
Now more than ever, instilling the values of creativity, collaboration, and innovation in our world’s future leaders is vital: According to the World Economic Forum, sixty-five percent of children now entering primary school will hold jobs that currently don’t exist. How do we prepare the next generation of leaders to solve some of the most daunting challenges this world has ever faced while working in fields we haven’t even yet identified? By nurturing their unbridled creative spirit to inspire and equip students to achieve anything they can imagine in life.
Every year, Destination Imagination offers challenges for more than 150,00 students across the globe to solve together - without the assistance of adults. All the ideas, concepts, research and even mistakes are part of an enthralling creative journey to solve the challenge on their own terms. Along the way teams also learn valuable life skills such as problem solving, project management, team dynamics, and perseverance.
