DESTINATION IMAGINATION IS FOR EVERYONE!

Do you have a group of friends looking for a new adventure? DI is the perfect challenge to take on! All you need are 2 to 7 members between grades K-12 and University to compete.

Public schools, private schools, homeschools, youth groups, and student organizations are welcome! You do not have to be affiliated with a school to create or join a team.

STEP 1: PURCHASE A TEAM NUMBER

A Team Number is a unique membership number permitting a team to present and compete at local DI events and tournaments. This number also makes them eligible for DI Global Finals.
A Team Number can be used for a team of 2-7 participants for the competitive Team Challenges. Teams solving the Early Learning (non-competitive Challenge) may have 2 or more participants.
