The CK Daily – From State Champs to World Stage
Happy Monday!
On Friday we headed to Columbus State University in Columbus, GA where the State Odyssey of the Mind competitions were being held. Teams from all across Georgia arrived to showcase their creativity and engineering skills and once again it was an all-day event. I was a bit nervous for our team as I saw the other teams in our division bring their A game but was immensely proud once our team took to the stage. Not only was their performance nearly flawless, but they also killed it in the structural engineering portion. Their structure held so much weight that it was unsafe to add any more on top of it. The structure survived and could’ve held at least 200 more lbs. I’m not supposed to give out specifics, but it was a lot of weight! Once again, the team got first place and are now advancing to the World’s competition at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. The kids were thrilled and are excited to see what awaits them at the end of the school year when they travel to compete.
Other than that, the rest of the weekend flew by and we took some time to relax. If you are ever in the Columbus, GA area, I highly recommend The Columbus Museum. It’s a small, but lovely Museum that houses works from prominent American artists. They even had a couple of paintings from The Hudson River School, one of my favorite art movements. There’s also no admission fee and the museum is run on donations.
Anyways, I hope you have a great weekend and a wonderful week!
