Video Submissions
Every year, Destination Imagination organizes Academic Tournaments where students from all over the world showcase their solutions to Team Challenges rooted in STEAM.
In British Columbia, every year we organize Regional Tournaments and a major Provincial Tournament to gather the teams from every Region.
This year, as Covid 19 prevented us from physically getting together, the Canadian Affiliates decided to keep with the true spirit of DI and find a solution. For the first time, we decided to organize a Pan Canadian tournament, including students from different provinces of Canada in a Canadian National Virtual Tournament. The tournament has brought 62 teams from 4 provinces, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia together to compete and share in the DI experience.
