Welcome to MN DI

MN DI is proud to offer DI’s flagship STEAM program, the world’s premier creative competition, the Challenge Experience. We welcome all learners from any community to join us! There are so many ways kids can extend learning beyond the classroom, while they exercise their curiosity, creativity, confidence, and build skills with our DI Challenges. Team Numbers and background checks are available to purchase, and Challenges and support materials can be downloaded now for anyone who has purchased a Team Number. Head on over to the What We Do tab to read more!

More details about the season will be posted regularly. Check our Calendar often – we will be adding interactive virtual workshops, trainings and communications that will keep the fun going throughout the season.

Congratulations to all our MN DI teams this season!

We were wowed by your creativity, your courage and your spirit at the Affiliate Tournament on March 2!
