CONGRATULATIONS to our CTOM World Finalists!
Connecticut Odyssey of the Mind (CTOM) is proud to announce that two Connecticut teams finished in the top 10 internationally within their problem and division at the 2022 Odyssey of the Mind World Finals held last month at Iowa State University. Out of hundreds of teams, Connecticut teams from Central Middle School in Greenwich and Saxe Middle School of New Canaan both finished in 5th place in their problem and division. In addition, two elementary school teams from Charter Oaks Academy in West Hartford finished in 2nd and 5th respectively in their problem and division during a separate virtual tournament held in April.
Congratulations to all CTOM teams who participated in the in-person and virtual 2022 Odyssey of the Mind World Finals! We are so proud of you all and look forward to being inspired by your creativity in 2023!
