An Update From Algoma School District About The 2021 Season
September 18, 2020: Algoma School District will postpone DI until next school year. The nature of DI would make holding group practices, and facilitating teamwork in the way our students are accustomed to for DI difficult to accomplish while we are working to socially distance students to keep them safe.
An Update From Wisconsin Destination Imagination About The 2021 Season
Wisconsin DI has issued a statement regarding plans to move forward with the 2021 season. Please visit the Wisconsin DI website for the most up to date information that we have.
To recap what changes are ahead:
- The Technical, Scientific, Fine Arts, Service Learning, and Early Learning Challenges will be released on November 1, 2020.
- The Engineering and Improvisational Challenges will be released on December 1, 2020.
- Team kits can be purchased now on the DIHQ site. TM background checks will be done via DIHQ and must be completed and passed for Challenge material access.
- As per DIHQ’s instructions Challenge presentations are not to be made in-person (therefore no in-person tournaments). WIDI will be holding a virtual Affiliate tournament only in April 2021. No Regional tournaments will be held in Wisconsin. All teams that purchase 2021 kits will be eligible to participate in the Affiliate tournament. More details will be released as soon as they are finalized.
Teams can be formed and paid for on their own. Teams that do this would not fall under the Algoma School District extracurricular umbrella so all responsibilities would fall on the team or the group sponsoring the team.
If you plan to do that and have any questions you can contact Robyn Harper, BayLake Regional Director.
Thank you all again for your support of these students and the DI program!
