A Message from Odyssey of the Mind

Hi Folks,

We are doing our best to get activities online through both our website and social media to help our families to keep thinking creatively. Folks have a lot of time on their hands and we want to get them involved in various fun projects where they can learn and explore.  We put together a page of at-home learning resources on our website: https://www.odysseyofthemind.com/creative-problem-solving-resources/.  It is linked directly on our homepage.

Our new sponsor Arm & Hammer has asked us to please tag them (@armandhammer).  They have provided a QR code to link kids to projects to do with Arm & Hammer baking soda.  One of the projects is dinosaur eggs.

Update

Coaches and team members:

First and foremost, remember that Odyssey of the Mind is more about the journey and less about the destination. Although your team cannot perform at the regional or state tournaments, we’re sure that your team has had many great learning experiences together and lots of fun.

We suggest you keep your props and costumes and hold a “dress rehearsal” for family and friends when schools reopen. Or video a team performance, but please don’t put it on Youtube or social media until the final decision is made about World Finals. Here is their site: https://www.odysseyofthemind.com/healthcare-update/

Please stay safe, healthy and as joyful as you can given the stressful circumstances.

NoVA North Directors & Problem Captains.
