Gearing up for Destination Imagination
At SwagRobot we try to stay on top of all of the events happening related to our industry. So we wanted to share with you one of our favorite events, Destination Imagination (DI).
DI is an organization that strives to inspire students “to become the next generation of innovators and leaders,” sounds pretty cool right? In addition to the different challenges students compete in, pin trading is huge at DI. With their 2015 Global event coming up in Knoxville, Tennessee in May, we’re excited to share a little bit about the creativity and enthusiasm that goes into the pin trading tradition at Destination Imagination.
With pin trading at the Destination Imagination 2015 Global Finals, students, parents, and more are given the opportunity to create and trade pins, meet others, and introduce other students to the pin trading community.
Our Digital Designers have some really great memories of working with students for Destination Imagination. “It’s great that the participants in DI are given the opportunity to be so creative. The kids always create the design or the subject matter for their own pins. It’s amazing.” He went on to explain a little bit more about the DI pin trading event, “some of the pins have glitter, movable parts, there was even some with blinking lights! Like I said, these kids are given the opportunity to be SUPER creative, and it's awesome to help make the designs they have in their head, come to life. Working with students on DI trading pins is one of my favorite things to do here at SwagRobot.”
At SwagRobot, we always love being a part of the creative process, so let us know how we can help you! Are you heading to Destination Imagination this year? We can create your own custom pins in any color metal, with translucent enamel fills, add glow in the dark color, or even double up with pins on top of other pins! Check out our trading pins page and discover that anything is possible.
