Student Contract

Students, please write "yes" or "no" in front of each item.

_____ I realize that no DI challenge has only one solution, and that a successful team is one in which we cooperate by considering EVERYONE'S solution. I will not criticize anyone's ideas.

_____ I agree that my behavior at meetings will be constructive.

_____ I agree that each DI team meeting is valuable and will attend each meeting as best as I can. If a conflict arises, I will notify my team manager in advance.

_____ I agree to cooperate on the solution the team chooses, even if it's not my first choice.

_____ I agree that all solutions, including props, costumes, signs, etc. will be made only by me or a member of my team. I realize that if there is any part of our solution that the team cannot complete without interference, we must redesign that part of the solution.

_____ I understand that the CreateME program recognizes all teams that bring a solution to the tournaments. They are all considered "winners". I agree to show other teams the utmost respect and good sportsmanship.

Parent Contract

Parents, please write "yes" or "no" in front of each item.

_____ I agree, in the proper spirit of DI, not to interfere with the team's solutions. All creations, inventions, decorations, ideas, must come from the team members.

_____ I agree to make every effort to have my child attend each meeting. If there is a conflict, my child or I will notify the team manager. I understand they have a commitment to their team.

_____ I realize that my child's manager will be contributing a significant amount of time and effort to provide a rewarding experience. I will try to be cooperative and helpful as possible.

_____ I understand the DI philosophy doesn't measure a team’s success with scores but by the learning experience and accomplishment that the team members feel from solving their problem. I promise to help my child concentrate on having a positive experience.
