Presenting to the board members

The kids presented their problem to the school board, this is a great way to get the school board involved in programs like this because these programs are SO important to keep. Up above you can see a little 2 and a half minute video. Where Dylan Baker explains to the members what Ootm is about! (he's a ham!)

In the news, so far..more to come!

Online I found this article.

This one. And this one.

This one from the school.

And, low and behold...I found this online!

Moving on to World finals 2011

Thirteen students from two Central New York school districts are advancing to the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals.
Seven are from Skaneateles High School and will compete in the Extreme Mousemobiles Division III world finals. Chandler Dickinson is the team's coach.

The students are Thomas Andrews, Dylan Baker, Hunter Dickinson, Brandon Mack, Christina Marshall and Jennifer Richardson.



The problem was described as this:
Problem 1: Extreme Mousemobiles
Divisions I, II, III , & IV
This problem requires teams to design, build, and run vehicles that use mousetraps as their only source of energy. The Mouse Mobiles will travel a course that has segments with different challenges. The team can choose from assorted tasks such as driving through a tunnel, raising a flag, hitting a target, changing direction, making a delivery, and will also perform two team-created challenges. The running of the Mouse Mobiles will be presented in a performance with a team-created theme.
Cost limit: $145 USD.

In 2007 two of these team members also went and two different ones went last year. Click here for that article!
