Welcome
to the Website for MIchigan Creativity Association (MICA). We are an
organization of trained volunteers (parents, friends, students, school
administrators, teachers and more) whose goal is to inspire creativity in our
youth, encourage them to take educated risks and use teamwork to uniquely
solve fun challenges. We are proud to again sponsor
Michigan Destination ImagiNation (MI-DI) for the 2007-2008 Program
Year.
Destination ImagiNation®
is the world's largest creative problem-solving program and competition for
kindergarten through college-aged students, going strong in 50 states and over
40 countries. Teams of up to 7 members solve one of six different Challenges,
which they perform in front of appraisers at tournaments. DI participants
develop life skills while solving challenges through their unique hands-on
experiences in the sciences, technology, mechanics, engineering, theater,
improvisation, goal setting, time and budget management, team building, and
leadership. The ultimate goal of
Destination ImagiNation®
is to teach participants that through their creativity, teamwork, perseverance
and a little bit of Duct Tape, they can develop creative solutions to complex
problems completely on their own!
