Two Monroe-Woodbury Middle School Odyssey teams took top honors and will be moving on to the State Competition on March 26 in Syracuse. Congratulations, Crusaders! We are so proud of you!
TEAM MCINERNEY/CALABRESE (MS) - Placed 1st for Problem #1: Div. II.
Members include: Amelia Balbuena, Aaroosh Buragohain, Justin Lemons, Isabella Pavignano, Brandon Peng, and Jack Youngman.
Problem #1 Description:
Escape vroOM
Odyssey teams take their problem-solving skills inside a box as they create a performance that includes one or more team-created vehicles that will help a group of characters escape an unusual room. The vehicle will travel to areas within the room and complete tasks. Each time it completes a task it will release a “clue” that the group will use in the next area to release the next clue, and so on. When the vehicle performs the final task, it will reveal a final clue that allows the group to escape the room and they discover the mystery behind the room!
TEAM MCINERNEY/CALABRESE (MS) - Placed 1st for Problem #2: Div. II.
Julia Abuirshid, Kyle Imhof, Zayed Kadir, Dylan McCann, Lauren Mueller, Haweon Noh, and Taneesha Zohora.
Problem #2 Description:
Odyssey ReOMvention
Sponsored by ARM & HAMMER™
While no one knows what the future holds, it’s likely OMers will have an important role in it! To prove just that, teams will present a performance that identifies an original threat to the environment that self-replicates until a team-created technical reOMvention removes the threat. The team’s setting will reflect the threat and then return to its original state. The performance will also include original music, two animal characters, and must use ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda.
Best of luck at States, Omers!
