Destination Imagination

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.

• 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.
