At the Colorado Odyssey of the Mind?
One of the local high schools hosted the OOTM
I would usually be judging a 4th grade science fair right about now but somehow I got into judging this event which I never heard of before.
More of a show of creativity, I guess…
But unlike a science fair, there are predefined problems that students have to solve. It’s important that 1) No adult does any of the work; 2) Some kind of skit will gain you extra points; and 3) There is another part to the competition called the ‘Spontaneous competition’ where nothing is ever predefined.
NO Odyssey may pass!
What’s with the AP chemistry teacher at this school? Anyway, the Ranatra fusca is the scientific name for a type of “water scorpion” insect and it happens to also be the name of the grand prize for the OotM competition. OK?
