What inspired you to make this project?
Maker Faire is perfect venue for us to let our greater community know about the benefits that Odyssey of the Mind provides for students. All of the activities in OotM involve some level of creating and innovation. In OotM the kids are responsible for building and developing all of their own ideas and projects--adults are not allowed to give ideas or provide hands-on help. Odyssey team members are "makers". The projects we've chosen to present are excellent and accurate representations of the Odyssey of the Mind program.
