Three Dartmouth teams earned first place and one team returned with a third place victory. Those teams qualified to participate in the Massachusetts Destination Imagination State Tournament at Worcester Polytechnic Institute on Saturday, March 26.

Destination Imagination is an international, nonprofit organization for students from kindergarten through college, which promotes creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, time and resource management and problem solving skills.
