Why Holt Destination Imagination?
By giving our students opportunities to explore STEAM-related concepts in activities such as Destination Imagination, they are more likely to become proficient critical thinkers, problem solvers, and collaborators. Our students who participate in Destination Imagination are typically more prepared to engage in leadership roles moving forward.
