Odyssey Passport Now Available!

Hey OMers!

What do you call a document that keeps track of your Odyssey goals, meetings, gives you tips and general direction, and is the one place that holds all of your team’s information? “The Odyssey Passport”!

The Odyssey Passport was designed to help both novice and seasoned coaches guide their teams through an Odyssey of the Mind season from the first meeting to competition. This detailed passport is an interactive, structured guide that will support you in keeping track of your team meetings, goals, objectives, deadlines, and more. Log into Members Area to get your copy of this wonderful new resource!

Please note that this Passport does not replace the Program Guide and it is not the ONLY way to solve a Long-Term Problem. No matter how closely you follow it, it is your Odyssey!

Spontaneous Tournament – October 14

News-Inactive / By NCOME_admin

We are pleased to announce there will be the first ever NC Eastern Region Odyssey of the Mind Spontaneous Tournament on Saturday, October 14, and it will be held at Thales Academy (1201 Granite Falls Boulevard, Rolesville, NC 27571). At this tournament, teams of 3-7 participants will compete in all three spontaneous problem types against teams in their same age division. No Odyssey of the Mind membership is required! This is a great opportunity to introduce the program to interested parents & kids, form a “dream team” from kids who have split into different schools, or even put together a neighborhood or community group for a fun Saturday morning. The cost is $7 per child.

Use the below link to register your team(s) and read more about tournament details. This year we will limit each competition to the first 10 teams in Division I (grades 2-5) and the first 10 teams in Division II (grades 6-8) that register.

Division III (high school teams) will not compete this year (we plan to have room next year), but we would still love them to participate as volunteers or judges! If you have a Division III team interested in improving their spontaneous knowledge and skills, email Zoe Hansen ([email protected]).
