Jamie Ingraham and Madeleine Vaughn rehearse a portion of the solution their team will present at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals at Michigan State University this week. The students are part of a team from the World Language Academy.
With their a team of gypsies, a smart house trying to communicate with Martians, a balsa wood structure that can hold nearly 1,100 pounds and a superhero cliffhanger, four Hall County Schools teams are headed to Michigan this week for an international competition. The teams — two from Flowery Branch High School and one each from C.W. Davis Middle School and the World Language Academy — have advanced to the world finals of the Odyssey of the Mind 2017 competition scheduled Wednesday through Saturday. OM is a problem-solving competition in which the student teams and an adult coach spend months preparing a creative solution to a specific problem for their age group.
