A new Destination Imagination Global Finals champion calls Door County home.
Several teams from Door and Kewaunee counties participated in last week’s Destination Imagination Global Finals competition in Kansas City, Missouri. Destination Imagination allows students to complete challenges based on STEAM — science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
Six teams from Sevastopol, three from Algoma and one from Holy Rosary qualified for the international competition after placing in the top three at the 2026 Wisconsin Destination Imagination Affiliate Tournament, held last month in Sun Prairie.
All six Sevastopol teams finished in the top 10 at the competition, including a global championship by “Penguins with Pizzazz” in middle-level scientific competition and runner-up finishes by “The Ultimate Ending” in secondary-level engineering and “MHGR” in elementary scientific competition. The teams were greeted with a parade in Sturgeon Bay when they arrived Monday night.
Holy Rosary School’s Destination Imagination team nearly brought home its own global championship to Kewaunee, with the HRS Rockets taking second place in the middle-level “Win It Big” technical division.
Algoma’s Destination Imagination team “The Four Horse Them” also earned a top-10 finish, placing eighth in its improvisational category.
The area’s Destination Imagination teams were not the only ones to bring home hardware from this year’s Global Finals. Algoma’s Robyn Harper received the Champions of Belonging Award for years of support for local Destination Imagination teams.
