Resources

Resources will be updated throughout the season as they become available:

Resources from Trainings:

• Building Secrets of Successful Teams:  We did the first 2 pages at the workshop, here are the whole 5 pages so you can continue working with your teams on learning the properties of materials.  If you are a new DI team, it would be a good use of your time to spend 2-3 meetings focusing on 1-2 materials at a time before diving into full task-based DI challenges. 

• Performance Tips and Tricks to Awe your DI Appraiser:   We did the first 3 pages at the workshop, here is the whole 6 pages 

The workshop extension papers outline in detail many of the preparatory decisions that highly successful DI teams make, and activities they do, to confidently prepare for Instant Challenge competition.
