Congratulations to all our Vermont Odyssey of the Mind Participants for a successful year of creative problem solving. We are especially proud of the teams from Malletts Bay, Colchester Middle School, Cambridge Elementary, Richmond Elementary, St. Albans Town Ed Center, and Town of Brandon Rec Center who made the long trip to Iowa State University and represented Vermont so well in both their performances and their engagement with all the people they met from all over the world.
The new problem synopses for the 2018 -2019 are now available. Check them out at the odysseyofthemind.com website.
Have a safe, enjoyable summer!
See you next fall!
Vermont Odyssey of the Mind celebrated their 39th State Tournament on Saturday, March 17, 2018 at Champlain Valley Union High. On a bright, sunny St. Patrick’s Day, teams from all over the state came to present their solutions to one of this year’s challenges. Using creativity and teamwork, they amazed the judges, spectators, parents and coaches with some awesome performances. We are so proud of every team! We thank their parents, their coaches, and all the many volunteer judges and officials who made this day possible.
