0521OM3
C.W. Davis Middle School’s Kendall Mouzakis, 14, places the head of a gargoyle on its body earlier this month as the school’s Odyssey of the Mind team prepared for a trip to the World Finals in Michigan this week. The event is an international creative problem-solving program that engages students in their learning by allowing their knowledge and ideas to come to life.
A team of Davis Middle School students finished second out of 45 teams in the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals on the campus of Michigan State University last week. 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. The competition combines science and creativity as students solve the problem through the course of an 8-minute skit.
