Odyssey of the Mind

Saturday, Kaela and Andrew had their regional competitions.  I took some pictures and videos.  Can't promise anything, novice here.  Both of the kids' teams chose a problem in the classics, "Discovered Treasure".  The teams have a certain number of months they can prepare.  They create the skit, create the props and backgrounds, costumes, etc.  All has to be done without help from an adult (there are coaches, but can't help).  Each skit has to have certain elements, all different depending on level, etc, and can only be 8 minutes long.  Even one second after will begin deducting points.



Kaela was a rich kid and was only interested in the money.


Andrew was one of the "discoverers".

Videos are being a pain and can't figure out how to get them loaded, but Andrew's team took first in Division II and Kaela's team took second in Division I.  They are now both headed to the State competition.
