Focus on High School Students

We know most DI teams start in elementary school, but did you know that in addition to the regular DI program, there are other programs that are geared to High School students? If you are new to DI or want to include the benefits you gained from DI on your college applications, read the following.

• Did you know Illinois DI offers college scholarships? Click here for the Online Application.
• Did you know that Destination ImagiNation is a NASSP-approved student contest and activity?
• High school students from across the United States and Canada have the unique opportunity to learn about interesting careers in the construction industry, meet potential employers, and gain new skills -- all while having fun -- by participating in the 2011 AEM Construction Challenge presented by Volvo Construction Equipment. The Construction Challenge is different than other student competitions because it is connected to an industry actively looking for talented and motivated individuals for a wide range of careers that directly contribute to a high quality of life for all.
• If you need community service hours, DI is a great way to earn them- either as a volunteer at training and information activities, or working at the tournaments- we can use your help! Or your team can participate in project OUTREACH this year.
