The kids that participate in the DI Team Challenge program work in teams.  For a detailed description of DI teams and team numbers refer to the DI Rules of the Road (aka RotR).  


As a brief introduction to the concept of a DI team that might help you navigating this site, consider the following:


  • a DI team consists of 2-7 kids
  • to gain access to the DI materials for the current DI season (Aug thru May), the team needs a team number
  • team numbers can be bought on the DI website resources.destinationimagination.org
  • a purchased team number comes with
    • an actual team number (eg 130-12345) that identifies the team for the season
    • access to each of the DI Team Challenges for the season
    • access to the Rules of the Road (basic rules of the program)
    • access to various training materials to help a new team get acclimated to DI
  • the person that purchases the team number has access to this website -- the account they used to purchase the team number is their account on this website
  • the Purchaser can identify other adults that are important to the team
    • the Coordinator: typically a person that helps form teams (initial set to be the purchaser)
    • one or more Team Manager(s) who facilitate the team solving their chosen challenge
    • the Purchaser, Coordinator, and Team Manager can access materials through the Resource Area (Documents=>view documents)
  • after studying the DI Team Challenges, the team picks the one they wish to solve
  • the team also has a level where they will compete
    • this level can be: Early Learning, Elementary, Middle, Secondary, or University
    • this level is determined by either the highest age or grade level of the kids on the team (see the RotR)
