On Saturday, February 28, 2026, nine Monroe-Woodbury teams from five schools applied their knowledge and participated in the 47th annual Odyssey of the Mind competition.
Teams competed in five different problems that encompass vehicle, technical, classics, structure and theatrical. Each team received its problem in early October and then constructed props and mechanisms to prepare the best solution to the challenge. The tasks include a skit or performance that is an original creation. The Middle School team led by Coach McInerney and Coach Rivera took top honors in their problem #2 (technical) performance and will be moving on to the state competition on March 21 in Syracuse!
Congratulations to all M-W Odyssey of the Mind participants!
