DI Needs team managers! If you think you’d like to be a manager please attend the potential manager meeting on September 19th at 5:30 in Portable 397A. No experience is required to manage a team! We’ll have support in place to make things easy! If you have questions, please contact Sue Beardsley at sue_beardsley@roundrockisd.org
What it is: Destination Imagination (DI) is an international, educational program that gives kids an amazing outlet for their creativity, while teaching them leadership, teamwork, positive thinking, project management and so much more. Teams of 2 to 7 kids from 3rd grade through university level solve one of six open-ended Challenges in their own unique ways, and present their solutions at the Regional Tournament on February 17th. Teams also solve an on-the-spot Instant Challenge at the tournament, where they must think quickly on their feet and work together to solve a problem in around five minutes. There’s even a noncompetitive Rising Stars! category with a special Challenge for K-2nd grade. Winners advance to the Texas DI Tournament, and winners at the Texas DI Tournament move on to Global Finals to compete against more than 1,400 teams from around the world.
Who can join: Any student Kinder-5th. We have two categories within that though, K-2 is considered “Rising Stars!” and 3-5 is competitive.
Destination Imagination Sign-Up will be open after manager’s meeting. Sign-Up will be posted and open September 23rd through September 27th at noon.
Meeting Times & Days are dependent on each team manager.
