WHY SHOULD MY UNIVERSITY BE INVOLVED IN DESTINATION IMAGINATION?

In a 2013 study, the Association of American Colleges and Universities highlighted that 93 percent of the employers surveyed felt that thinking, complex problem solving and communication skills were more important than a candidate’s undergraduate major. Smart cities, life sciences, space exploration, advancements in chemistry and materials science, cybersecurity, mobility, energy and renewables, and data-driven applications are creating unprecedented opportunities for our future workforce.

Our Challenges integrate STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) learning with social entrepreneurship and are designed to teach students the very skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

University Level teams that participate in Destination Imagination are invited to compete in our annual Global Finals Tournament–the world’s largest celebration of student creativity and innovation. At the tournament, University Level teams will compete against each other in their Team Challenge category, as well as have the opportunity to network with alumni and industry professionals from some of the most innovative companies in the world.
