ODYSSEY OF THE MIND: Design39Campus sent its inaugural teams to compete in the Odyssey of the Mind Coastal Regional Tournament last weekend. Three Primary teams (2nd grade and under) and three Division 1 teams (5th grade and under) performed short skits that solved one of six long-term problems. Each team also competed in a spontaneous problem, which challenged their group problem-solving skills. We had two teams place in the competition! May Tse Lin’s Division 1 team took second place for the problem, “Classics… It’s Time Omer!” and Praveen Moorthy’s Division 1 team took third place for the problem, “Odd-a-Bot.” Congratulations to the more than 35 kids who competed on D39C teams this year!
