Our Odyssey of the Mind Concludes for the 2009-2010 Season
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010This was the first year that Sarah and Michael were on separate teams. Sarah and her team chose to do this year’s classics problem, Discovered Treasures, while Michael and his team chose this year’s technical/performance problem, Return to The Gift of Flight. The older team, being high-schoolers, competed in Division III. Michael and his teammates were in Division II.
The teams worked hard. Lisa coached both teams so she had twice the fun from previous years. The house also contained twice the cardboard and other assorted paraphernalia as usual. As the year progressed it was clear that the two problems required very different strategies in terms of planning and execution.
