Destination Imagination - CA Best of the Bay

Are you interested in contributing to the DI community? We are looking for alumni volunteers for CalDI’s new online workshop initiative! 🖥️ 🚀 From October until April, we will be running one virtual workshop per month on the last week of every month. These workshops will be 2-hour long Zoom sessions during which current DI students will learn skills such as IC tricks, Improvisation, and more.

We are looking for both coordinators (plan the workshop) and instructors (run the workshop). For instructors, we only ask for 4 hours of your time (2 hours to prepare, and 2 hours to run the workshop), while coordinators will be more involved in the planning process. For more information, use the sign up form below, which can also be found in the bio: https://forms.gle/HjA5pnVFZkXyV2cE8

Please note that the entire process (planning and running the workshops) will take place virtually over Zoom. Our first workshop will be at the end of this month, and it will be about creating storylines. Our next workshops could be up to you and your interests! Thank you, and please email our project lead, Shishir ([email protected]), if you have any questions. ✨
