I think Destination Imagination was valuable specifically because of how it gave so much autonomy to a small group of self-motivated kids with a lot of range of necessary things, and explicit critical thinking exercises. My understanding is that critical thinking is its own thing that gets short shrift if you try to get it implicitly in another subject / structure.
