EV ODYSSEY OF THE MIND
Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem solving competition involving students from as young as kindergarten all the way though the college university years. An Odyssey season begins in November and, depending upon the success of the team, can run all the way though the month of May.
East Vincent students have been competing in these contests for the past twenty eight years. Historically, our students have performed very well in this endeavor earning multiple state
championships, a world championship trophy, and placing in the top three in the world multiple times.
Two Saturdays past, our elementary team began pulling together solutions for this season’s upcoming competitions. Although the first contest does not take place until the second Saturday in March, there is a lot of work to do to prepare for the event. Team members: Audrey Lloyd, Jonathan Alex, Claire McAllister, Tyler Walker, Katie Dybicz, Maira Latif, and Darius Neeley recently began generating ideas that ultimately will help them compete against what will certainly be stiff competition. In the coming months our team will be designing costumes and
backdrops, writing and revising narratives, choreographing dance, and solving a complex engineering problem. We wish our team good luck in the coming months and look forward to hearing the results from the regional competition.
