Creative, amazing problemsolvers in the entire world. Destination imagination, or d. I. For short, was held at the university of tennessee in knoxville. To make it here, the teams had to find solutions to challenges that involve the 4 cs. Well, i think its critical in terms of developing problemsolvers and independent learners, kids who can collaborate with teams.

To meet the challenge might require skills like science and math, or maybe theatre knowhow, and, of course, imagination. I like getting that its okay to be different, and, like, i can just be myself and creative, and it, like, lets me escape and be creative and stuff.

Theres no simple explanation for why this period was so dynamic, nor was the dynamism confined to one center. Although paris had long been the focus of modernism, it had its rivals in brussels, barcelona, and munich. But it was a time of growing tension in western culture, of continued rapid industrialization, of imperialism abroad and rivalry within the states of europe, and, at the same time, scientific breakthroughs, which not only questioned our way of seeing the world, but the very nature of reality itself plancks quantum theory, einsteins theory of relativity, freuds work on psychoanalysis.
