The Best place to get information and documents is on Google Classroom using the code wguv2cb
Welcome to the Odyssey of the Mind Experience! We appreciate you showing interest in this activity. The first 5 weeks of the “club” (September/October/early November) will be sort of a “tryout” time. You will be using your creativity and working cooperatively with others on problem-solving tasks.
During this time, you will decide if you would like to continue and apply to become a team member to compete in Odyssey events and I will be observing to see if you would be a good team member. I am looking for creativity, unique skills, a respectful and humble attitude, and the ability to work and communicate with others effectively.
Being on an Odyssey team is a big commitment. For the first 5-6 weeks anyone can participate in the Odyssey Experience which will meet on Wednesdays. Once teams are formed, the teams and advisors will decide what day or days work best. The teams compete in a regional competition that is held on Saturday, March 2nd and it is an all-day event. All team members must be present for that, During the month and weeks leading up to the competition, teams will often meet several times during the week.
If you have not already done so, please join The Odyssey of the Mind Google Classroom using this code: wguv2cb. This is where most of the information you need will be. It will be your responsibility to check the Google Classroom.
By mid-November, you will apply on a Google Form to be a member of the team. We will use our observations AND your application to choose 5-7 team members. We are sorry that we cannot take everyone. The most amount of students who will be able to compete will be 14.
