Notes:

• During registration, you will prioritize the session topics for each team member attending
• When you receive your schedule for the day, you will receive links to the Zoom meeting for each session.  Each session has its own Zoom meeting, and unique Zoom meeting link
• The sessions will include hands-on activities.  We recommend the team members attend via a device with a large screen (not a cell phone).  It may be difficult for team members to see the instructor demonstrating activities on a small screen.
• With some of the hands-on activities, the team members may need assistance from an adult.  Having an adult present will help them get the most out of the sessions.
• Once you have registered, you will be contacted via email with more details on the fair, and with an individual schedule for each of your team members for the day.
• Each team member participating will need to supply their own materials that they will use in the sessions.  In some cases, to participate in a session, team members will need to purchase items in advance.

In addition to “In-person” memberships, Odyssey of the Mind is offering a “virtual membership” this year. Organizations can purchase a virtual membership for $125 per team. If you purchase a Virtual Membership, you will compete by submitting videos and forms directly to Odyssey of the Mind and not to NCOM. Odyssey of the Mind will coordinate the competition.

You will compete against other teams from across the country, but not against North Carolina teams at either the NCOM Eastern Region Tournament or the NCOM State Tournament.

Virtual Teams can choose from either Problem 2, Problem 3, or the Primary Problem. Problems 1, 4, and 5 are for in person teams only this year.
