Start a team Start a team

Destination Imagination is entirely team-based. Student teams must have between 2 and 7 members, and students in grades K-12 and University can all participate!

All teams must have a Team Manager, someone who is 18 or older that has agreed to volunteer their time to organize, supervise, and mentor a team of students.

The process for forming a DI Team for the '23-'24 Season can be downloaded here or follow along below:

Purchase Team Number + Background Check

At least one adult (18 or older) must consent to being designated the Team Manager and will need to purchase a Team Number and Background Check before continuing on. Total price to sign up a team for the 23'-24' starts at $390.

Assign the Team Manager

Once your Team Numbers are purchased, go to resources.destinationimagination.org to assign your Team Manager(s) by using the "My Teams" button on your dashboard. If you will be the Team Manager, you still must assign yourself.

Form Team, Add Members, and Start Meeting!

Go again to the DI Resources page to add your team members by using the "My Teams" button on your dashboard. A team’s level is determined by the oldest team member.

Once you have begun to add some team members, you're all set to begin meeting with your team and working together to solve the Challenge! Refer to the Roadmap for Team Managers (DI Resources page) for suggested meeting schedules, activities, and other ideas to help you. Oregon DI volunteers are also ready to help you get started, provide materials, and are here to do a little hand holding 🙂
