Odyssey of the Mind releases schedule for competitions and training
Georgia Odyssey of the Mind has opened its registration process for coaches’ training, team workshops and competitions for the 2010-11 season.
Odyssey of the Mind is an international organization that encourages and celebrates creative problem solving. Competitions are open to teams of children from kindergarten through college. If your school doesn’t already have a team, it’s not hard to organize one. You don’t even have to be affiliated with a school to have a team — you can form a team with your kid’s neighborhood friends, Girl Scout Troop, soccer team, or whatever. In fact, last year, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association sponsored a team that went all the way to the World Finals.
If you plan to start a new team, you’ll want to attend the coaches’ training on Oct. 23 at Trickum Middle School in Lilburn. Registration for the workshop is open until Oct. 16.
