Dozens of Williamson County students will show off their problem-solving abilities next month when they compete at the 2016 Destination Imagination (DI) Global Finals.
DI is a co-curricular educational organization whose mission is to foster development of 21st century skills through creative problem solving, critical thinking and collaboration. Organizers say the goal is to prepare students to apply creative problem-solving skills to life decisions.
Tennessee held its annual State DI Tournament April 9. Teams that finished among the top two in their challenge qualified to attend the Global Finals in Knoxville May 25-28.
