Binghamton students flexed their creative muscles over the weekend, competing at the Odyssey Of The Mind New York Region 12 Tournament on the Broome-Tioga BOCES campus.
Odyssey Of The Mind is a creative thinking competition that involves writing, performance, design, construction, and improvisation. OM competitions consist of two sections: a long-term problem and a spontaneous section. For the long-term problem, they have the topic/task ahead of time, and for the spontaneous section, they do not.
