Please Help to Send our Teams to the 2017 Odyssey of the Mind World Finals.
 
It's exciting when one school team makes it to the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals, but when two teams make the cut -- Wow! 

We are fourteen 3rd through 5th graders at The Expedition School in Hillsborough, North Carolina.  The Expedition School's Odyssey of the Mind "Catch Us If You Can" and "It's Time, Omer" teams started our journey in September of 2016. Through hard work, creating (and recreating), and stretching our minds, we have advanced from Regional to State and now World competition!  
 
We can't wait to represent our school and North Carolina at the Odyssey of the Mind 2017 World Finals, May 24-27, at Michigan State University where we will compete along with an anticipated 900 teams from around the globe.
 
But we need your help to get there! Please consider a donation, no matter how small. 

Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program. You can learn about it at www.odysseyofthemind.com
