NEW HAMPSHIRE INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY CONNECTION

Description

NHICC is probably best known as the nonprofit organization that runs NH-DI, the New Hampshire affiliate of Destination Imagination. Destination Imagination is an international program that begins at the start of each school year. Elementary, middle, high school, and university students form teams with up to seven members, and select one of the open-ended Challenges offered each year. Each team creates an action plan and works together for several months to develop a solution to the problem specified in their chosen Challenge. From the U.S to China, Poland, Colombia and Brazil, student creativity is unleashed in astonishing ways.

We also run Camp Gottalikachallenge, one of the oldest creativity camps in the United States. Every summer, we welcome campers from all over the world to a week of summer camp fun at a variety of sites around New Hampshire. We provide a fast-paced adventure in problem solving. Our campers’ days are filled with hands-on learning, challenging activities with plenty of mental muscle-stretching games, and zany fun guaranteed to get the creativity flowing! Our program focuses on helping each camper to develop their creative potential. The goal is to empower our campers to approach life’s challenges with confidence. We do this by honing their creative and critical thinking skills, leadership skills, problem solving abilities, and teamwork.
