ABOUT DII: Become A Sponsor

The Rising Stars! Program provides a fun and engaging introduction to creativity and problem-solving for our youngest learners, ages 4-7.  Rising Stars! Program Kits, consisting of a Star Gazer’s Guide and Star Activity Cards sets, take the exploration of teamwork, creative thinking, and critical thinking to new heights for young ones.  Rising Stars! Kits are packaged with thought provoking lessons, teachable tools, a Team Challenge, and energizing STARt-ups.  These kits encourage young children to probe a multitude of problem-solving curricular areas, and methodologies.  Rising Stars! is also supported with additional resource materials.
