After months of hard work, local teams put their skills to the test at the Odyssey of the Mind tournament this weekend. Students of all ages competed in different problem solving categories, which is part of the Odyssey of the Mind international education program.
Teams are scored for long-term problem solving, on-the-spot problem solving and for style points. More than a hundred teams practiced and performed in front of judges in hopes of making it to the next round. Odyssey of the Mind had more teams sign up this year than the past two years. The regional competition held Saturday at Broome-Tioga BOCES determined which teams go on to the state tournament later this month. The state tournament is set for Saturday, March 23, at Binghamton University.
