Odyssey of the Mind NYS Tournament Local Results
Syracuse, NY- On Saturday,
April 13, 250 teams from New York State showcased their creativity during
the Odyssey of the Mind New York State Competition.
The buildings at
the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse and Solvay High School were full
of creative kids who “showed off” their intelligence and their creativity
in this competition. For those teams who placed first place or, and for a
few teams who held advancing positions in second place at their own
Regional Tournaments, Saturday was the day to compete within the whole
state. Those who placed 1st place at New York
State competition will earn the opportunity to advance to World’s
Competition in Ames, Iowa on May 21-24, 2024.
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 from
Saturday’s New York State Tournament are posted on the nysoma
website and you can view the total scores there.
