Before you purchase a team membership make sure you talk to your district or school coordinator. Some school districts purchase memberships for their teams. In other cases, the school PTA may purchase the membership. Make sure you talk to someone before you spend money that you don't need to.
If you have determined that you must purchase your own membership, then you need to go to Shop DI. Once you are on the site you will need to Sign In (the link is typically in the upper right region of the website). If this is your first visit then you will need to follow the instructions to create yourself an account. Once you have created your account you will be returned to the front page. In the upper right portion of the website you will see an icon labeld "Start A Team". This will take you to the catalog to purchase a membership. Rising Star teams purchase a Rising Star membership. Most individuals purchasing a new membership will purchase a "Domestic 1-team Pack". If you are part of a private school or home school group purchasing mutiple memberships, you will need to purchase additional memberships. If your team is a Rising Star team ( K-2) then you need to purchase a Rising Star membership. If you are unsure, talk to your coordinator or the Regional Director before purchasing a membership.
The best method to purchase a membership is via credit card because you immediately receive information so that you can download the materials. Payment by check or other methods can delay receipt of the download information.
Note that the memership(s) that you purchase are a license to use the materials. Purchasing a membership does not register you to participate in the local Regional Destination Imagination Tournament. You must follow the tournament registration procedures outlined in this website in order to be registered to participate in the Regional Tournament.
