Wisconsin Destination Imagination® (DI) Alumni
Whether you are a recent Alum, or a “blast from the past” Alum, we welcome you to participate as Wisconsin Alumni Ambassadors to current and future team members!
You are walking, talking examples of how being a part of DI continues to impact the way you solve challenges in real life.
Who is considered an alumnus of DI? Anyone who did DI at any point in their lives. You don’t have to have done DI all the way through high school. Maybe you did DI in middle school and just couldn’t fit it in through high school. That’s okay. We still want you! You know the great benefits that DI can bring to kids (and to Team Managers, too).
We encourage you to catch up on what’s happening with Wisconsin DI. Share some great memories, appraise at a Tournament, get involved, stay involved, and help Destination Imagination keep the creativity flowing.
If you find yourself in Wisconsin we hope you will return and give back to our creative community!
