North Country Students Shine at Odyssey of the Mind
Competition
Watertown, NY On Saturday,
March 2, 2024, 126 students from Region 8 & 9
displayed their creativity during the Odyssey of the Mind Regional
competition.
Case Middle
School building was full of creative kids who showed off their
intelligence and their creativity in this competition. For those teams who
placed first place or, for a few teams who held advancing positions in
second place they will be headed for New York State Competition in
Syracuse at the Syracuse Fairgrounds on Saturday, April 13th.
Students have
spent months of their free time solving problems as well as developing
teamwork skills, independent study, friendships, confidence, and most
importantly thinking outside-of-the-box! They learned new things and
utilized their strengths to solve the problem. Teams also learned how to
budget money since there is a cost limit to each problem.
Teams had to
compete within their chosen problem and division, but competed as well in a
spontaneous problem, where they solve a new problem on the spot. They
must be creative and quick thinking.
Results will be
posted soon on the NY Odyssey of the Mind website
and you can view the total scores there. The link is https://www.nyodyssey.org/regional-results .
Please plan on
supporting your teams attending New York State
Competition on April 13th. Spectators are welcome and more information can
