This team from Pickering, Ontario became the first of over 1,200 teams to check in for Destination Imagination Global Finals. Thanks to 3M and the University of Tennessee, they were presented a gift basket by Destination Imagination CEO Chuck Caddle and Robert Gibbs, Director of UT Conferences and Non-Credit Programs.
By the end of 2011, over 100,000 students in over 30 countries were creating solutions to complex, open-ended challenges with their roots in science, technology, engineering math, improv, theatre arts and community service. One week from now, Wednesday, May 23rd, the teams who earned the right to represent their country, state or province will be at the Opening Ceremony of Destination Imagination Global Finals 2012. The event will be attended by over 8,000 students who make up the 1,200 competing teams. Teams qualified earlier this year in competitions by age group and the challenge in which they competed.
GlobalFinals.org will be updated throughout the event with stories, videos and thousands of photos. This year marks the introduction of DITV which will feature live video, including opening and closing ceremonies and additional content through the week. DITV, which will be here on GlobalFinals.org, will feature student reporters and strive to bring the flavor of the Global Finals experience to the friends and families of the participants and volunteers of the event.
The ValeDIctorian Selection Committee is pleased to announce the selection of Global Finals 2012 ValeDIctorian and DI Scholars.
This year more than 30 applications were submitted. Each DI story was exciting to read, as we were able to see what fine young men and women our DI student participants have become. The decision is not easy when you have so many good candidates in front of you. Thanks and congratulations go out to all that applied this year.
This year, you can again follow the updates and events from Destination Imagination Global Finals on Twitter and Facebook, even if you do not have an account on one of the popular social sites.
