University, Maharishi School Students Win Awards at World Creativity
Competition
Not only did Maharishi School students win more first- and second-place
awards than any other school in the world Destination ImagiNation
competition, they also won more awards than the entire state of California -
and every other state, with the exception of Texas.
Their total of five first- and second-place awards compares to a total of
four top awards won by the 27 schools entered from California. Schools from
Texas won a total of eight, and Wisconsin had three. All other states and
countries had fewer.
There were some 860 teams competing from nearly as many schools - all of
them at the global competition by virtue of having been state or country
champs. There were 40-60 teams in each category of competition.

About Global Finals
The Destination ImagiNation® program helps kids build important, lifelong
skills, like problem solving, teamwork and divergent thinking. Our teams
solve two types of Challenges within the program year. The Team Challenge
involves structural, technical or theatrically oriented Challenges and takes
several months to solve. Throughout that time the teams also practice
improvisational Instant Challenges, which stimulate the team's ability to
think quickly and creatively with only minutes to prepare solutions.
Global Finals is a culmination of the year, bringing team winners
representing their state, their province, or their country to compete
against one another at the annual international creative problem solving
tournament held at the university of Tennessee.
