01 / OUR MISSION

Destination Imagination challenges our kids to imagine big, build together, and present their own ideas on stage. Parkview's teams do the work themselves — coaches guide, kids create.

Seven disciplines · one season

The stuff everything cool
was ever built from.

Rockets, bridges, symphonies, vaccines, video games — all of it started as a kid messing with one of these. Every DI team runs on all seven.

Technical Gears, motors, mechanisms — machines that do exactly what you built them to do.
Scientific Hypothesis. Evidence. Proof. Real research, performed live on stage.
Engineering Balsa wood and math holding 500× their own weight. Until the crowd counts the pounds.
Fine Arts Sets, scores, costumes, and stories — whole worlds built from a pile of nothing.
Improv No script. No net. Five minutes to invent something that never existed.
Service Learning Find a real problem in your own town. Then actually fix it.
Rising Stars Pre-K–2. Where the next builders, provers, and performers start.
