Digital Open 2021


For teams looking for a new way to do DI, the 2021 Digital Open is coming! Registered teams will receive the Challenge on October 1, and will then have only 6 weeks to solve a new Challenge that’s flexible enough for any learning environment—virtual, in-person or hybrid. Teams may participate in both the 2021 Digital Open AND the traditional in-person Challenge Experience.

Just like at Global Finals, Digital Open teams will be scored and ranked. Winners will be announced in December, and there will be a virtual showcase for all the teams’ hard work! It’s open to students anywhere in the world, and team members do NOT have to be in the same location.
