Odyssey of the Mind – February 9
TJ’s Odyssey of the Mind club is sponsoring its second annual “Spontaneous Invitational” event on Saturday, February 9, from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Last year, 800 elementary and middle school students participated in a day of creative spontaneous problem-solving. Each team will rotate through three activities (a verbal, a hands-on, and a verbal/hands-on problem). The registration deadline is Jan. 24. (http://tjodyssey.wix.com/spontaneous#!about/cjg9 )
“Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.” (http://www.odysseyofthemind.com/ )
