Think Tank Odyssey of the Mind

The Odyssey of the Mind WORLD FINALIST and RANATRA FUSCA award winners from the Homeschoolers of Collier County will be performing at the WORLD FINALS and need your help to get there.
Our all-girl homeschool team has done it again! We won FIRST PLACE at the Sun Region competition, SECOND PLACE at the Florida State competition, and are winners of the highest award - the prestigious RANATRA FUSCA - for demonstrating ‘an outstanding level of creativity in an Odyssey of the Mind creative problem-solving competition’. Last year, we placed 13th out of 53 international teams at the World Finals. We've worked hard and this year, with your help, we will go all the way to number one!
Our team has been working diligently on our solution since September of 2017. We have spent countless hours reading, planning, researching, writing, building props, sets, costumes and PRACTICING all while juggling our academic, athletic, dance, music and theater commitments.
Now, we will be one of two teams in our problem and division representing Florida at the Odyssey of the Mind World Championships held on the campus of Iowa State University from May 23th – 26th. There will be over 800 teams from at least 26 countries in competition. We are proud to represent Florida on a international stage. We are as proud to represent HOMESCHOOLERS in such an amazing arena.
Will you help us?
We need to raise $10,000 in order to attend the competition. This money will be used for registration fees, travel expenses, on-campus housing, meals, and expenses associated with shipping our set, props, and costumes to the competition in Ames, Iowa. Please donate to help us get to World Finals.
Besides the Go Fund Me account, we’re planning many other local fundraising opportunities. Please watch social media, this website, and other publicity announcements for upcoming events. Offline donations may also be given to one of the team members or coaches. If writing a check please make it out to our Odyssey of the Mind coach, Meredith Condit, so that she may deposit it in the correct account.
We deeply appreciate any assistance you can provide to help our team get to Iowa State University for the World Finals competition. Your donation will help provide us with a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase our talents, meet students from other countries, and proudly represent Florida at an international venue.
