Odyssey of the Mind® 2010 World Finals
Michigan State University
East Lansing, MI
May 26 – May 29
Students from around the world will compete in the 31st Odyssey of the Mind World Finals. This competition emphasizes creativity and teamwork. It has grown into such a huge event because OotM makes learning fun while giving kids the chance to explore their imaginations and express their creativity.
Millions of kids have been working hard all year perfecting their solutions to OotM problems and competing within their regions and states in order to advance to the 2010 World Finals. However, only the best of the best will make it to WF.
While the competition is fierce, there is also a feeling of camaraderie among competitors. Many students form life-long friendships that span the U.S. and the globe. Teams have the chance to learn about other cultures through a common goal . . . to be as creative as they can!
- NASA will be sure to provide more exciting activities for participants.
- Meeting people from different countries and cultures and making new friends worldwide.
- Seeing OMER and Dr. Sam.
- Having the satisfaction of participating in the highest level of OotM competition.
- Experiencing the other fun-filled events at WF like the Creativity Festival, International Festival, Float and Banner Parade, Coaches Competition, Opening and Awards Ceremonies, and much more!
Good Luck in Michigan!!
