Odyssey of the Mind

Instructor: Amy Peck

Team leaders: Christi Nonn, Cristina Gray, Bethany Allshouse

Writers, Engineers, Builders, and Actors come together in teams of 4-7 members will work together at length (a school year) to solve a predefined problem, and present their solution in a theatrical performance at a mandatory competition held in the Spring.

The competition dates are held on Saturdays. Date TBA. More information can be found at www.odysseyofthemind.com.
Students will need a 3-ring binder with 3 sections. There will be a $150/student fee.  Because of the long-term team commitment to Odyssey of the Mind, (and because there are lots of questions and fun information for families), a parent information meeting will be held near the beginning of the school year to shed some light on this adventure. Students will be encouraged attend a Saturday workshop at CDO high school (January date TBA) And MUST BE AVAILABLE to compete at the Regional and State competition dates. (Approx. dates for these are Saturdays in late February and late March.)

"OM' is a creative problem-solving competition program. It was created in 1978 by an instructor in New Jersey, and now over 30 countries around the world are represented at the World
Finals each summer. Odyssey involves various elements of theatrical performance, planning, writing, construction, improv, and design. The program empowers students with skills such as creative thinking, and technical skills, communication, and teamwork.
