Leander ISD sponsors the creative problem-solving program, Destination ImagiNation (DI). DI is an extracurricular, school-sponsored program that fosters creativity and team-based problem-solving skills and life skills for students. Leander ISD DI is open to all students in third through twelfth grades.
What does it take to form a team at Tarvin Elementary?
• A maximum of seven students are placed on a team.
• PARENT VOLUNTEERS MAKE THIS PROGRAM POSSIBLE. Please consider volunteering as a Team Manager. No special skills are required to be a Team Manager other than your willingness to work with a great, creative group of kids! (I will provide you with resources & orientation to the program.)
Any students in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grades may join a Tarvin team.
Teams are formed based on the student's 'central challenge' preferences (which they indicate on the registration form)
Teams are formed with parent volunteers serving as team mgr/co-mgrs. (Our preference is to have at least 2 parents serving as co-managers, with other parents as 'helpers' with the team on meeting days.) We MUST have parent volunteers before we can form the teams.
Teams meet usually 1-2 hours weekly, with time (outside of the school day) and location determined by the team manager and the team. The location cannot be at Tarvin.
If your student is interested in participating in DI, look over the Challenge Previews, then have him or her start recruiting friends that would be interested in joining a DI team.
