General Lake Public School is proud to announce that in September, 2012 they will be piloting the Destination Imagination (DI) project.
Students and staff got a sample of the project on Wednesday, June 6 when a representative from DI came to the school to provide interactive activities for students in Grades 3 to 6. The Destination Imagination is an extraordinary non-profit organization providing educational programs for students to learn and experience creativity, teamwork and problem-solving. The program also encourages teams of learners to have fun, take risks, focus and frame challenges while incorporating STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), the arts and service learning. The participants learn patience, flexibility, persistence, ethics, respect for others and their ideas, and the creative problem-solving process. Participants gain more than just basic knowledge and skills - they learn to unleash their imagination and take unique approaches to problem solving.
