Odyssey of the Mind

10/1/2023 6:02 pm

Hey Clermont!

Do you like to write?
Do you like to sing?
Do you like to create things out of cardboard?

Do you play an instrument?
Do you like collaborating with friends?

Are you ready for an AMAZING creative adventure?

Odyssey of the Mind is a one-of-a-kind creative problem-solving program for K-12 students sponsored by the Clermont PTA. From October to March, teams work to solve a long-term problem, then present their solutions at a regional competition. Each team develops their own unique solution and do ALL the work themselves, encouraged by parent coaches. There is a weekly commitment on a day and time that the team agrees upon.

You’ll find more information at www.odysseyofthemind.com.

Next steps: We will form teams within the next two weeks. New to Odyssey and ready to dive in? Returning OMer? Sign up here: https://forms.gle/C1FtXU73pB8dH9tJ8

Please note that the number of teams we are able to assemble is entirely dependent upon having enough parents willing to coach.

Interested? Please join us at an informational Zoom meeting Tuesday, October 10 at 7:00pm.

Any questions, please contact Jennifer Jones, the Clermont OOTM Coordinator at ClermontOOTM@gmail.com.
