We inspire and equip young people to imagine and innovate today, so they can be the creative and collaborative leaders of tomorrow. The DI Challenge Experience is a STEAM-focused, project- based, team competition for elementary, middle, secondary and university students. Our academic, open-ended Challenges are designed to teach students the creative process—a system of learning that is at the root of all innovation and a child’s ability to bring an idea to life. We offer six engaging academic Challenges—Engineering, Technical, Scientific, Fine Arts,
Improvisation, and Service Learning. Each season takes place from September through May.
Each team of 2 to 7 members typically spend 2 to 4 months developing their solution/presentation for their chosen Challenge. Teams have the opportunity to showcase their solutions at local tournaments, many of which take place between February and April. When a team qualifies at the state, provincial or national level, they are invited to compete at Global Finals—the world’s largest celebration of student innovation and creativity. Each team has at least one Team Manager (often a parent or teacher) who helps keep the team on track, but does not assist or interfere with the team’s project. DI is often run as an after-school program or incorporated into a school’s electives curriculum. Teams are also supported independent of schools, by homeschool groups, or through community organizations.
