Open to Grades 4 & 5
Advisor: Joyce Bernard
Description: Odyssey of the Mind challenges teams of up to seven students, in grades 3-5 to come up with an original solution while creating a skit that solves their given problem. Team members must write a script, create their own costumes, build the set, and create props all within a budget. At competition, teams present their skits in front of a panel of judges and highlight their unique solution. They also must test their teamwork and creativity skills on the spot in a spontaneous problem at the competition. While creatively solving their chosen problem, students learn divergent thinking, teamwork, public speaking, time and financial management, as well as other valuable life skills.
