Creative Process

Our goal at Destination Imagination is to provide students with an opportunity to engage with the creative process from imagination to innovation. When students gain an understanding of the creative process they are more effective in approaching problems and taking solutions to an innovative level.

The creative process isn’t a linear path. It is circular often looping back from one stage to a previous stage or stages. It helps students improve all types of literacy skills.
