Built for Impact
Many experiences meant for youth programs require resources like staff and transportation. Other barriers like high adult-to-student ratios, inconsistent attendance, and varying schedules can make it difficult to implement and make a real impact.
SkillFire lesson plans were developed to overcome these common obstacles and give students in ALL spaces access to the transformational experiences that Destination Imagination is known for.
SkillFire can…
- work in student groups of any size and that vary day-to-day.
- be used with students from kindergarten through eighth grade.
- work any time of year and on any schedule.
- remove the need to travel to a tournament or showcase.
- require only limited, easily obtainable materials.
